Villa Ladera is a five-bedroom villa above Los Muertos Beach in Puerto Vallarta, with a heated pool, lush gardens, open-air great room, and ocean-view primary suite.
Overview
Perched on a bluff above a cobblestone lane, Villa Ladera and Casitas is a tropical estate in a beautiful enclave of Zona Romantica. Located in the Amapas region, the property sits just moments above Los Muertos Beach.
A major restoration project revived the villa’s original charm and character while preserving the relaxed, open-air lifestyle for which this sun-soaked beach town is known.
The Space
Villa Ladera occupies the top floor of a brick-walled, iron-gated compound. A spacious, continuous patio wraps around the entire villa, providing access to all five bedrooms, the entertaining areas, the pool, and the gardens.
The double-height, open-air great room serves as the heart of the home, offering a warm and inviting setting for gatherings. Villa Ladera is well suited to groups seeking a comfortable base for rest, relaxation, or celebrations.
Please note that the property is open air, so air conditioning is available only in the bedrooms.
Outdoor Areas
The expansive sun deck and palapa are the highlights of Villa Ladera’s outdoor spaces. A heated pool, multiple recliners, and outdoor speakers create an ideal setting for poolside relaxation.
The manicured gardens have been maturing for more than 50 years and feature beautiful uplighting at night. Dozens of tropical plant and flower varieties grow throughout the property, which is also home to butterflies, geckos, hummingbirds, iguanas, and flocks of green parakeets.

Villa Ladera exceeded our expectations! From the minute we arrived until the very end, we felt so cared for by the staff and had the perfect atmosphere to enjoy a vacation with our adult children. Dining together made the trip so much easier, the pool was refreshing and fun and the Palapa table made playing card games enjoyable. The location was perfect enough to be away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to walk to everything. The home was absolutely stunning with high-quality finishes. The beds were comfortable. We would absolutely come back. Thank you, Scotty and to your team for making our family vacation memorable.

My friends and I truly enjoyed our stay. The staff were friendly, attentive, and very helpful. The location was great with nice views of the water.c and was the perfect amount of space for us. We really enjoyed the pool area.

This is a stunning home in a great location. It's just at the edge of the Zona Romatica, up a hill and a little and a short walk to everything. The house itself is large, with a wonderful open area, perfect for our family group. The pool was a great temperature and size, and was sparkling without any chlorine smell. The 5 bedrooms are beautiful and large, so everyone has a comfortable place to get away. The highlight of this home was the staff. The chef is world class and the house man is exceptionally professional. Meals at this house were among the best we've ever eaten. Housekeeping was flawless. Keep in mind that the surrounding area is busy and can be noisy. The hotel across the street regularly has techno music playing with a driving bass. For the most part this was fine, but it did occasionally get annoying. Wasn't a big issue (and some days were pretty quiet), but if you are looking for peace and quiet you may want to be aware.

Scottie’s place was great for our stay in Puerto Vallarta. The place was even more beautiful than in pictures and we had a great time lounging around by the pool. We spent more time than we thought we would in the house. The staff were great - chef Gabriel cooked us some delicious spreads and we always had delicious cocktails waiting for us at every meal. The place was also close to town and within walking distance of restaurants but it was on top of a very steep hill so bring comfortable shoes! All in all would recommend this place if you’re looking for a luxurious stay in PV.

Gay paradise! My husband and I escaped cold Boston with 8 of our closest friends. Everything was better than described. The house manager was extremely helpful setting up transportation, activities, and making sure everything was perfect for our group. Chef Hector was fabulous! We worked together to build the breakfast and dinner menu. Everything was perfection! Staff kept the margaritas flowing and the rooms clean! This is the perfect house for a large group. The layout of the Villa allows people to come together but also find spaces to relax away from the group. Highly recommend this spot!

Scottie’s Villa is absolutely gorgeous and exceeded our expectations. It was larger and more beautiful than it looks in pictures. The artwork is personal favorite of mine. Villa Ladera is well located very near the beach and within easy distance to Zona Romantica. This place is definitely up the hill so we chose to take inexpensive and easily obtained cabs. And the Villa is across the street from a hotel so there were cabs waiting just outside our door. We arrived on my birthday and received a wonderful welcoming. Scottie’s lovely attentive staff had fresh margaritas and scrumptious snacks prepared and waiting. We gathered in the pool while the staff graciously kept the beverages coming. Chef Hector (a total joy) prepared a delicious dinner and the best chocolate birthday cake I’ve ever had. I selected Scottie’s Villa because of its proximity to the beach and downtown. We spent more time in the Villa than expected because it was simply too wonderful to leave.
