What a private villa usually includes
- The whole home to your group, with no shared lobby or corridors.
- A private pool and outdoor living space.
- A staff team, which commonly includes housekeeping and often a cook or chef.
- Beach club and golf access, which depends on the community and the Club Punta Mita membership tier that comes with the home.

Private is not the same everywhere
Privacy depends on lot size, neighboring homes and how the community is laid out. Ask whether the pool is overlooked, whether the home shares walls, and who has access to the grounds. Costa confirms these details directly with the property.
How a private villa week works
Most guests arrive through Puerto Vallarta airport, and a private transfer that meets the flight takes the guesswork out of arrival day. The staff opens the house, the pantry is stocked if you asked for it, and the concierge arranges what you want, whether that is a chef for the first dinner, a golf cart for the week or a boat day to the Marietas Islands.
The peninsula is quiet and low-density, built around beach clubs, two Jack Nicklaus golf courses and private villas, so a private villa suits guests who want one good thing a day and long, easy evenings.
Chef, staff and the rest of the week
Most villas here can arrange a private chef for one dinner, a few nights or the whole stay, and many include housekeeping. Confirm which staff are included, their hours and whether groceries are stocked before you arrive. A concierge can also arrange golf, boat days, surf coaching, spa treatments and transfers from Puerto Vallarta airport.
Beach clubs: ask which one comes with the villa
Punta Mita is really a collection of beach clubs, and which ones you can use depends on the community and the Club Punta Mita membership tier that comes with the home. Kupuri Beach Club is the grandest, a multi-level club with pools, dining and full service. The Residents' Beach Club is quieter and family-paced. Pacifico Beach Club sits by the golf and the point, and the Sufi Ocean Club anchors Porta Fortuna on the oceanfront.
A villa does not automatically unlock every club, so the single most useful question is which club your villa includes. That one detail shapes a whole week.
Safety and security
Punta Mita is a gated peninsula of about 1,500 acres with a single controlled entrance and internal security, and the U.S. Department of State rates Nayarit at Level 2, exercise increased caution, as of its May 29, 2026 advisory. Check the current advisory before you travel, use arranged transfers, and ask your villa team about its own security arrangements.
How Costa works
Costa is a free local guide to a curated collection of homes it knows in person. You tell us your dates, group size and must-haves, we match the current collection, and we confirm every detail directly with the property before anything is booked. Payment stays between you and the property, and Costa does not quote prices.
Who this is not for
If you want hotel services such as a front desk and a restaurant on site, a resort stay may suit you better than a private villa.
Tell Costa your dates, group size and must-haves in the chat, and we will send the current collection that fits.
