Villa Premiere

Welcome Rituals and Thoughtful Details

There’s something instantly disarming about Villa Premiere. Maybe it’s the ocean breeze curling through the open-air lobby or the soft lighting that gives the modern Mexican interiors their signature warmth. Whatever it is, this adults-only hideaway on the edge of Puerto Vallarta seems to know exactly what you didn’t realize you needed.

From the moment I arrived, it was clear that hospitality here isn’t performative—it’s quietly intuitive. A chilled welcome drink, a cool towel, and a brief neck massage during check-in set the tone. That first small moment of calm was the start of many.

 

 
 

 

Calm Escape By Design

My suite struck the perfect balance of design and soul—light woods, clean lines, and Mexican artisanal touches that spoke without shouting. A pillow menu, in-room aromatherapy kit, and a balcony overlooking the expansive Bay of Banderas made it easy to slip into the rhythm of coastal living. Below me, the infinity pool shimmered. Beyond Puerto Vallarta’s coastline stretched like a promise.

The kitchenette in my suite was stocked with thoughtful touches, but more enticing was the view. Morning light over the Sierra Madre Mountains, sunset dipping into the Pacific, and the quiet lull of the waves—all part of the unspoken luxury of staying at Villa Premiere.

 

 
 

 
 

 

Cuisine with Character and Craft

With only 80 rooms and suites, the hotel retains a boutique ambiance that never feels crowded. The staff remembered my name by day two and anticipated small needs without intrusion. Whether you’re sipping cocktails by the pool, breakfasting on the terrace, or unwinding in a shaded beachfront cabana, the atmosphere invites you to move at your own pace.

The location couldn’t be better. Less than a mile from the Malecon and the heart of the Zona Romántica, Villa Premiere makes exploring on foot not only possible but pleasurable. Coming from New York, I reveled in the slower pace—meandering past galleries, watching street musicians, and popping into small cafés tucked along cobbled streets.

Days at Villa Premiere are delicious in every sense. Lunch at the open-air La Ceiba felt like a celebration of freshness—ceviches, grilled fish tacos, and seasonal salads under a palapa roof. At night, the culinary story deepens.

Dinner at La Corona is a more refined affair. Executive Chef Elías Sapién crafts thoughtful plates with international inspiration grounded in Mexican ingredients. Service is subtle, polished. The other fine-dining restaurant, Murales, leans romantic—hand-painted walls, flickering candles, and a menu honoring regional classics with elegance and flair.

Those on the all-inclusive gourmet plan enjoy full access to all three à la carte restaurants, premium beverages, 24-hour room service, and minibar perks.

Quiet Indulgence by Day, Romantic Glow by Night

There are two pools to choose from—one expansive with daybeds and the other a quieter swim-up with its cocktail rhythm. The beach is narrow but lovely, with cabanas and paddleboards at the ready.

Each morning began with strong coffee, fresh pastries, and locally grown fruit on the terrace, with the ocean rising to meet the day. It’s a memory that lingers.

The on-site Mind & Soul Spa offers everything from signature massages to body treatments, with a sauna and steam room available for guests. Complimentary beachfront yoga sessions are a bonus.
