A new definition of luxury awaits those visiting Villa La Estancia Riviera Nayarit, a secret hideaway that boasts personalized service all the way.

The chic Hacienda-style ambiance is one of the many reasons why AAA gave Villa La Estancia the Four Diamond Award.  The masterful view from every room of the jewel-like Banderas Bay, the soul-cleansing massages of the European-style Tatewari Spa, and the multitude of delicious dining options are just a few of the other reasons Villa La Estancia received the coveted title. Or maybe it was as simple as the indulgent service, in-suite amenities, and strong commitment to making your stay as memorable as possible. Put it this way: The seclusion factor is high, the charm off-the-charts, and the sweeping vistas so transformative, you might want to book a few extra days.

Take off your shoes and let the surf cover your toes in Riviera Nayarit where the pristine Pacific Coast is framed by the majestic Sierra Madre Mountains. Just 25 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta’s International Airport, Riviera Nayarit is its own separate stand-alone destination dotted with sleepy fishing villages and stunning views. Stay busy during the day snorkeling, surfing, scuba diving, or just lounging poolside, while devoting your nights to sitting on your private villa balcony watching the sun surrender to a starry canopy.

You’ll feel well taken care of at the award-winning Tatewari (tah-teh-wah-ree) Spa, where inner peace and healing take center stage. Tatewari is an indigenous Mexican spiritual deity and this sense of calmness and tranquility manifests in all the Spa’s therapies. Whether you’re here for pure relaxation, relief for aches and pains, or professional advice for healthier skin, you’re in safe hands with our highly trained treatment specialists who will have you glowing inside and out.
