Hacienda de Los Santos

With more than 10,430 square feet of living space, Hacienda de Los Santos is regarded by many as one of the finest villas in Puerto Vallarta, offering stunning views over the Bay of Banderas (the house is perched high on the hill, with no home above it). This exceptional villa is built in the traditional Mexican hacienda style (and to California earthquake standards), combining the best of the Old and New Worlds. The house has an infinity pool and a separate spa / hot tub. In addition, Hacienda de Los Santos offers comfortable modern amenities with beautiful antiques and contemporary art. Also, Hacienda de Los Santos is one of the few remaining seven-bedroom authentic Hacienda in Puerto Vallarta, perfect for family reunions, retreats, corporate groups, and more.

The Hacienda is located on a cliff in Real de Conchas Chinas (only 11 homes are set inside this gated and guarded community), adjoining the famed Conchas Chinas neighborhood. The house’s panoramic ocean, city, and mountain views are unrivaled. We will pamper you in this custom-designed and meticulously built home with carved columns and railings, Spanish Alhambra tiles, bold arches, copper and crystal chandeliers, and matte Tikul flooring, vaulted brick vault ceilings, potted flowers and plants, coupons, and private patios and “Juliet” balconies. Four bedrooms face inward over an inner courtyard and pool, enjoying sweeping views of the Bay of Flags. A separate house has its living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom, with views of the mountains, jungle, and south bay, and is a favorite of those wanting a bit more privacy.

Upon arrival, there is pleased to offer a complimentary welcome margarita and tapas breakfast, and Lunch or Lunch and dinner are preferred. But staff can offer a light lunch in between breakfast and dinner. Dinner’s preferred time is 7:00 PM. We may arrange other times with the houseman and chef. Please note; that if the staff leaves after 9:30 PM, guests are responsible for paying for their transportation home. Buses stop at 10:00 PM.

Staff staying well after hours would require direct overtime payment to property management (Food, liqueur, and beverages at guests’ cost, plus service fee for shopping).

Over two years after the pandemic, one complication emerged from our guests’ inclination to stay close to the house: staffing at meals. Having our staff prepare three meals daily at, say, 9 AM, 1 PM, and 7 or 8 PM entails working an 11–13-hour day (plus commute). We respect and want to retain our staff, so we ask you to work with us on schedule- or service- flexibility or extra compensation for staff if dinner or late nights are desired.

You can swim, enjoy a pool-side nap or the sun (nobody floaters, please), explore Puerto Vallarta (a five-minute taxi ride away), or be entertained by an innovative TV system and programs, and audio surround system in the living area, iPod station and outdoor speakers, a small library, and more. There’s even an office for those unfortunates who have to do some work while at the house. Telephone calls (we have two lines) to the US and Canada are free.

Our guests consistently report that a favorite Hacienda feature is our dedicated staff of three: the houseman, the maid, and a professional chef, who, in the best Mexican tradition, endeavor to see that your every need is met. The staff works six days a week (Sundays and National Holidays are off, except on arrivals and departures) but can often be hired to work off-hours and days.
