If you’re looking for a showstopper home, then this villa near the small fishing village of Boca de Tomatlan could be the one. With an indoor waterfall, sea views from every angle, and two swimming pools, it certainly has the wow factor. You won’t have to fight for the best bedroom here – they’re all en-suite with a lounge area and terrace overlooking the water – and your host can help arrange a private chef to cook for you in the home’s commercial kitchen. Plus you’ll have direct access to the beach. We think this home will suit a group wanting to escape the crowds of nearby Puerto Vallarta while still having the resort’s amenities to hand.

Home truths:
*While the kitchen and not all of the bedrooms and bathrooms are photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*The swimming pools aren’t fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
*While there is plenty of room for everyone at the outdoor dining area, the indoor dining table seats twelve so isn’t big enough to accommodate everyone when the villa is at full occupancy.
*There’s on-site parking for up to sixty cars here.
*Daily housekeeping and maintenance services are provided here.
*The home has 24-hour security.
