PapelillosMexico, Puerto Vallarta

The 13,000-square-foot oceanfront home has five bedrooms, sleek contemporary style and indoor living spaces that seamlessly transition to outdoor terraces.

Its location on the El Paredon Resort on Banderas Bay means guests have access to the resort’s amenities, plus perks like a daily maid and cook service. The back of the house features three floors looking over the private pool and beach, with plenty of room for sunbathing, dining and even grilling on the barbecue. Refresh yourself in the outdoor shower and private spa, work out in the exercise room and stay comfortable in the in-room air conditioning.

Casa Papelillos is a unique mix of sleek contemporary furnishings and natural features. Trees growing through the oceanfront balconies have been left intact, making the open-plan living areas feel as though they’ve grown out of the landscape. In the living room, clean-lined white seating is cool and modern, while pops of colour like a red carpet and yellow cushions add a whimsical touch. A statement stone dining table has room for twelve, and the fully equipped kitchen has a spacious breakfast bar.

During your stay at El Paredon, you’ll have access to the resort’s private beach and beach club. It’s a 1-minute walk to Playa Palmares and less than 5 miles to both Los Muertos Beach and Olas Altas Beach. From Casa Papelillos, it’s 1 minute to bungee jumping, 10 minutes to a supermarket, restaurants and nightlife and 29 minutes to the mall. It’s about 20 minutes to the Nuevo Vallarta, Mayan Palace and Flamingos golf courses, 5 miles to Isla Cuale and just over 9 miles to Puerto Vallarta proper. The international airport is about 11 miles away.
