PH Vista Ballena

PH Vista Ballena occupies the top floor of Tau Residences, and the position is the whole argument for it. The outlook runs across Banderas Bay to the Marietas Islands and the open Pacific, taking in the eighteenth hole of the Jack Nicklaus Bahia course on one side and a direct sightline to the Punta Mita surf break on the other. Four bedrooms sleep ten across more than six thousand square feet of combined indoor and outdoor living, under vaulted ceilings lined in dark timber. The penthouse was built for groups who intend to spend their days outdoors and come inside only for dinner.

The terrace is where the penthouse spends its day. An infinity pool runs along its edge, with a hot tub, an outdoor dining table and shaded lounge seating arranged so that sunrise and sunset are both available without moving. Inside, living and dining open through full-height glass to the same view. Two king bedrooms and two further rooms with two queen beds each give the residence its range, and every bedroom opens directly to terrace space of its own. The master bathroom holds a freestanding soaking tub, a double vanity and a walk-in shower behind glass; five bathrooms serve the penthouse in all.

Daily housekeeping is included, and so is breakfast and snack preparation prepared in the residence by dedicated personnel. A private chef for lunch and dinner, a butler, a bartender, pre-arrival grocery stocking, in-villa spa treatments and transportation are available at additional cost through a personal concierge. The stay carries a Premier Golf Membership at Club Punta Mita, which opens the private beach clubs, the Pacifico and Bahia courses, the tennis, pickleball and paddle courts and the fitness centre, with preferential tee times on both courses. A six-passenger golf cart is handed over at check-in, which is how guests move between the penthouse, the clubhouse and the beach clubs.

Tau Residences sits in the middle of the peninsula, which puts the beach clubs, the golf clubhouse and the tennis centre within a few minutes by cart in almost every direction. The break at El Anclote and the restaurants of Punta de Mita town are around ten minutes, Sayulita twenty-five by road, and Puerto Vallarta International Airport roughly forty. For a golf week, a milestone birthday or two families travelling together, PH Vista Ballena offers Villa Experience guests one of the widest views on the peninsula from a single address.
