Where will you stay?

The standard

Every villa, staffed.

Daily housekeeping and a dedicated concierge come with every home. Chefs and butlers are included at most villas and arranged at the rest — you’ll know exactly what’s included before you book.

  • Private chef

    Included at most villas

    Two or three meals a day, planned around your group’s tastes, dietary needs, and the rhythm of the trip. Groceries are billed at cost — no markup, no minimum. Our chefs cook traditional Mexican alongside whatever your family actually wants to eat, from a kids’ breakfast at seven to a twelve-person tasting menu on the last night. Where the chef isn’t included, your advisor arranges one — priced clearly before you book.

  • Butler

    Available at flagship villas

    On the flagship properties — most of our Punta Mita, Los Cabos, and Riviera Maya estates — a butler runs the household: greets you on arrival, paces meals, manages the staff, and quietly anticipates the things you didn’t think to ask for. We’ll tell you which villas include one — and where one is an added service — before you book.

  • Daily housekeeping

    Standard at every villa

    Beds turned, kitchens reset, towels and linens refreshed — every day of your stay, while you’re at the beach or the pool. The house you walked into on Saturday looks the same way every morning of the trip.

  • Dedicated concierge

    Standard at every villa

    One point of contact for the entire stay. Airport transfers, restaurant reservations, fishing charters, surf lessons, sunset dinners on the sand, anniversary cakes, sitter referrals — your concierge handles the logistics before you arrive in Mexico and stays on call throughout.

Why Villa Experience

Three things, done differently.

  • A house, not a hotel suite

    Whole private homes — living rooms, terraces, doors that are yours — with room for the whole group and no lobby in between.

  • Mexican, and here

    Villa Experience is a Mexico-based company. Our advisors live and work on the coasts we serve.

  • An advisor, not a search box

    Tell us who is coming and what the trip is for. A person reads your trip and answers with homes that fit.

The destinations

Where we host.

From the Pacific point to the Caribbean sand — the coasts where Villa Experience keeps its homes.

  • Punta Mita

    Riviera Nayarit

    The flagship peninsula — gated communities, quiet coves, golf along the point.

  • Puerto Vallarta

    Jalisco

    Beaches under the old town’s green hills — Conchas Chinas, Amapas, Mismaloya.

  • Los Cabos

    Baja California Sur

    Desert cliffs over the Sea of Cortés — Cabo San Lucas to Puerto Los Cabos.

  • Riviera Maya & Cancún

    Quintana Roo

    White Caribbean sand from Cancún down to Tulum — Playa del Carmen, Akumal, Puerto Aventuras between.

And twenty-two more homes on the quiet coasts — Careyes, Puerto Escondido, Ixtapa, Huatulco, Acapulco.

Home counts from Villa Experience’s public portfolio — they move as houses join and leave.

The occasions

Made for the occasion.

Some trips carry a date that matters. One house can hold the whole of it — the slow morning, the long table, the vows in the garden.

  • A family of four walks hand in hand across the lawn at Casa Brisa in Punta Mita.

    The gathering

    Three generations under one roof — together at the pool, and each with a corner of their own.

    Homes with room for everyone
  • A long celebration table set with flowers and colored glass on the ocean terrace.

    The milestone

    Birthdays, anniversaries, the year that deserved marking — the table set long, the night unhurried.

    Plan a milestone
  • A bride and groom hold hands on a palm-lined garden path.

    The wedding

    The aisle is the garden; the reception, the terrace over the water.

From the founder

A letter from Puerto Vallarta.

When I started Villa Experience in 2006, the question I got most was: why villas?

The answer hasn’t changed. A villa — properly staffed, run by people who actually know it — is the closest thing to renting a Mexican family’s house. Except the family is a chef who cooks the way your grandmother would, a concierge who knows the surf instructor’s brother, and a housekeeper who will turn down the beds while you’re watching the sunset.

That kind of stay doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because someone is on the ground in Mexico every day — watching the villas, knowing the staff, fixing the small things before they become big ones. That’s what our team does.

If you’re considering a villa in Mexico — for a reunion, a wedding, a milestone, or a quiet week with the people you love most — write me. The team is here, and we’d be glad to plan the trip with you.

In their words

Letters from guests.

  • This is a fantastic home with amazing staff. We celebrated my fiancé’s 30th birthday party here with a large group of 16. Everything was perfectly arranged and we had an absolute blast.
    Michael RestianoPosted on Google
  • From the moment we landed, the team had everything handled. Three meals a day cooked by a chef who learned our kids’ favourites by Tuesday. We’ve already booked our return for next December.
    Daniel & Ana M.Puerto Vallarta · January 2026
  • We had ninety-two for the wedding and thirty-three sleeping on property. The Hacienda team made it feel like one house, not a venue. The day before, the bride’s mother said it was the most beautiful place she’d ever stood.

Frequently asked

Answered plainly.

What is included in a Villa Experience villa rental?

Every Villa Experience villa rental in Mexico includes daily housekeeping and a dedicated concierge. Most villas also include a private chef — two or three meals daily, with groceries billed at cost — and where the chef isn’t included, your advisor arranges one, priced clearly before you book. Many flagship properties — particularly in Punta Mita, Los Cabos, and the Riviera Maya — also include a butler, bartender, and pool attendant. Your concierge arranges restaurant reservations, excursions, spa treatments, airport transfers, and celebrations.

Which destinations does Villa Experience serve?

Villa Experience offers luxury villa rentals across Mexico’s coasts: Puerto Vallarta, Punta Mita, Los Cabos (Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo), the Riviera Maya, Tulum, Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Puerto Aventuras, Puerto Escondido, and Acapulco. Our team is on the ground in Puerto Vallarta and Punta Mita; field staff cover the other regions.

How do I book a luxury villa in Mexico?

Tell us your dates, group size, preferred destination, and any special requests — by inquiry form, WhatsApp, or phone. We send a curated shortlist within 24 hours. A 50 % deposit secures your villa, with the balance due 60 days before arrival. Most groups go from inquiry to confirmed booking in under a week.

What size groups can Villa Experience accommodate?

Villa Experience offers villas from intimate 2-bedroom retreats to grand 20+ bedroom estates. Our collection accommodates couples, families, multigenerational groups of 30 or more, destination weddings up to 200 guests, and corporate retreats. For extra-large groups, we coordinate adjacent villas — most notably the four-hacienda compound at Fatima Bay (Hacienda del Mar, Jaguar, Magica, Corazon), which combines for up to 51 bedrooms and 100+ guests.

Are villas suitable for weddings and special events?

Yes — destination weddings, milestone birthdays, anniversaries, corporate retreats, and family reunions are core to what our concierge team does. Many flagship estates have purpose-built event spaces; Casa Bellamar in Los Cabos and the Hacienda compound in Riviera Maya are both designed for celebrations of 100+ guests. Your concierge coordinates with local wedding planners, caterers, florists, photographers, and musicians.

How far in advance should I book?

For peak season (December through April) and holidays, book 6–12 months in advance, especially for large villas and Punta Mita and Los Cabos. Shoulder season (May, November) and summer can sometimes be arranged 2–3 months out. Contact us anytime — availability changes daily and our team has real-time access.

How does a Villa Experience stay compare to a hotel?

A Villa Experience villa is an entire private property — the pool, the staff, and the schedule are yours alone. For groups of six or more, the per-person cost is often lower than equivalent hotel suites at a comparable luxury tier, because villas are priced per-property and meals are prepared in-house at grocery cost rather than ordered from restaurant menus. Hotels offer convenience and amenities like spas and gyms; villas offer privacy, scale, and the rhythm of a home.

What’s the best destination for a luxury villa in Mexico?

It depends on the group. For service and golf, Punta Mita — gated, fully staffed, two Jack Nicklaus courses. For restaurants and culture, Puerto Vallarta — colonial charm, Banderas Bay, the Zona Romántica. For nightlife and sportfishing, Los Cabos — Cabo San Lucas energy or San José del Cabo’s quieter side. For cenotes, ruins, and the Caribbean, the Riviera Maya — Tulum’s bohemian luxury, Playa del Carmen’s beach-bar scene, or Puerto Aventuras’ marina calm. Our concierge can recommend based on what your group is hoping for.
