Rooftop 1-BR Penthouse Ocean & Sunset Views and Private Hot Tub at Luxury Resort
With its exclusive hillside location offering stunning views of Banderas Bay and the town of Puerto Vallarta, the Marcela Resort & Spa offers guests a truly memorable vacation experience. This quaint boutique resort gives vacationers a unique sense of privacy in this popular tourist town. Each villa has a full kitchen and its own balcony or patio with breathtaking ocean views. The resort also features a series of five cascading pools with an adjacent pool bar and an on-site restaurant, which is available for all meals and room service. Cobblestone streets adjacent to the resort lead to the wonderful beaches, restaurants, and activities that Puerto Vallarta is famous for.
Sitting high atop Marcela is this marvellous eighth-floor penthouse-known as Penthouse del Mar-it's the cherry atop a magnificent feast!
Penthouse del Mar features one-of-a-kind furniture in a colorful king bedroom with bold pink walls, ornate golden headboard, and evocative dark purple bedding. This penthouse villa with sweeping sea views is trimmed with warm Mexican rosewood and has a heart of natural cantera stone. While fully air conditioned, a ceiling fan spins in every room of the villa, and each fan is adorned with vivid blown-glass sconces. The result is a naturally inviting space with stunning views of the sea from every single room. This penthouse is well-suited for a getaway of 3 nights or 3 weeks, although you will never want to leave!
Relax and watch the sunset (or a movie on the curved 60" HDTV) from the living room outfitted with a plush sofa bed and an exquisitely upholstered Frida Kahlo armchair and accompanying nesting ottoman. Brew your morning coffee and whip up oaxaca and bacon omelets in the penthouse villa's expansive, open-air kitchen with marble countertops, 6-burner stove, and oven.
This boutique masterpiece has two distinct bathrooms-one inside the villa with a sunken tiled tub and rain shower, and the other outside in a separate space on the patio with a corner-tiled shower, sink, and toilet. When you open all of the penthouse's meticulously designed accordion doors and windows, the sea breeze and sunshine greet you, and you'll fully appreciate Marcela's mission of seamlessly blending the natural and built worlds to rejuvenate the body and reinvigorate the mind.
Finally, we come to the star of the show in this blissful penthouse villa-the outdoor corner hot tub Jacuzzi offering spectacular sea and sunset views! You'll be drawn to its tempting warm water and photogenic perch high above the entire property every morning, noon and night of your stay. As you dry off, read a book and relax further on the two spa lounge chairs and a pair of bright red Adirondacks, each looking out over the whole of the Zona Romántica and the Pacific Ocean.
Providing every convenience, Penthouse del Mar additionally offers a full-size washer and dryer and complimentary Wi-Fi.
This property also comes with a host of exceptional amenities because it resides inside the campus of the Marcela Resort & Spa.
All of our resort guests additionally get access to our five swimming pools, Jacuzzi at pool level, on-campus gourmet restaurant, room service, 5-star-resort-level beauty shop and spa, full fitness center, PGA-designed putting green, and all of our campus' gardens and waterfalls.
