Regarded as one of the most extraordinary tropical getaways in the Western Hemisphere, Villa Estrella Mar stands a proud sentinel above a secluded white sand beach a walk from the chic boutiques of Puerto Vallarta. An Otis elevator takes you from the quiet residential street to a second elevator that stands ready to unveil four levels with 22,000 square feet of South of the Border splendor. Lavished with original art and antiques, the romantic haven showcases stunning panoramas of the town and Banderas Bay. Sweeping settings served by a commercial kitchen open onto a view-filled pool terrace. Nine handcrafted baths and a gym accompany the suites, each outfitted with a mini-kitchen. Some 2,200 square feet is devoted to the dreamy master haven. A carriage house welcomes guests at the street level. (Sold furnished with art and personal exclusions.)
