Are you dreaming of a sanctuary where the only sounds are the rustle of jungle leaves and the clink of wine glasses? Welcome to Amapas, the crown jewel of Puerto Vallarta. If you’re a couple seeking a mix of Enchantment and high-end privacy, you’ve just found your heaven on earth. Forget the crowded all-inclusive resorts and the chaotic family-filled lobbies of the big hotels. In Amapas, we do things differently. We do things with Style, Culture, and a heavy dose of Romance.
This hillside neighborhood, perched just above the vibrant energy of Old Town, is the ultimate destination for those who want to experience the Magic of Mexico without sacrificing the finer things in life. Whether you’re celebrating a honeymoon, an anniversary, or just the fact that you finally escaped the office, Amapas offers a level of sophistication that is unmatched in the Bay of Banderas.
The Allure of Hillside Living
Amapas isn’t just a location; it’s an experience. Known for its winding cobblestone streets and spectacular views of the Pacific, this neighborhood provides a sense of seclusion while being a mere five-minute stroll from the heart of the Zona Romántica. It’s the perfect balance of Adventure and tranquility. You can spend your afternoon exploring the local boutiques and galleries in Old Town, and then retreat to your private oasis to watch the sky turn into a canvas of deep purples and oranges (without mentioning that daily sky event we all know and love!).
The architectural vibe here is a beautiful blend of traditional Mexican charm and modern elegance. You won't find generic buildings here. Instead, you'll find homes built by local artisans that honor the natural landscape. This focus on authenticity creates a deep sense of Culture that makes every stay feel like a true discovery.
High-End Accommodations for Two
When it comes to finding the perfect nest for your getaway, the options in Amapas are nothing short of spectacular. We’re talking about spaces designed specifically for couples and solo explorers: meaning you won’t have to worry about splashing children or noisy play zones. These are grown-up spaces for grown-up fun.
One of our absolute favorite spots for a private retreat is Casa CC. This isn't just a place to sleep; it's a high-end experience wrapped in 680 square feet of pure bliss. With a king-size bed, a fully equipped kitchen, and massive glass windows that bring the lush jungle right into your living room, it’s the definition of puerto vallarta vacation condos. Plus, for those who can’t imagine a trip without their four-legged best friend, it’s pet-friendly! Just imagine sipping your morning coffee on the balcony while your pup explores the scents of the tropics.
If you're looking for something that feels like a dream come true, you have to check out Casa Mi Sueño. This stunning property offers panoramic views of the bay and the mountains, making it one of the most sought-after rentals in puerto vallarta. It’s tucked away in the hills, providing that essential "away from it all" feeling while still being just four blocks from the beach. The tall glass doors open up to a private balcony where you can soak in the atmosphere of the Sierra Madre.
Romance in Every Corner
The beauty of staying in Amapas is that the Romance doesn’t stop at your front door. The neighborhood itself is designed for wandering. Take a slow walk down toward the ocean and discover the hidden gems of the area. Since Amapas and Old Town are essentially one big neighborhood of joy, you have the best of both worlds at your fingertips.
For an afternoon of deep relaxation and connection, we highly recommend heading down to the shore for some yoga. There is something truly transformative about moving your body to the sound of the waves. It’s the ultimate way to ground yourself before a night of fine dining and dancing.
A Digital Nomad’s Paradise for Two
Are you and your partner part of the growing tribe of digital nomads? If so, Amapas is calling your name. With high-speed internet (Casa CC offers a blistering 150 Mbps!) and dedicated workspaces, you can keep the coins flowing while looking out at the ocean. It’s much easier to hit that deadline when you know a chilled bottle of mezcal is waiting for you on the terrace.
In our 2026 Insider Guide to Paradise, we talk about how the landscape for remote work has shifted, and Amapas is at the forefront of this revolution. It offers the peace you need for deep focus and the Adventure you crave once the laptop closes.
