Penthouse Vista Encanto, Three-Bedroom Ocean-View Penthouse in El Encanto

Penthouse Vista Encanto sits high in the gated El Encanto enclave of Punta Mita, with the Pacific, Banderas Bay and the fairways of both the Pacifico and Bahia golf courses spread out below like a very well-composed postcard. It is a three-bedroom, three-bath penthouse for up to eight guests, recently remodeled and notably private, with no neighbors on one side and ocean views from every bedroom.

The terrace is the villa’s natural gathering point. A sunken infinity-edge plunge pool rests under a covered outdoor area, joined by loungers, a bistro table, an L-shaped sofa and alfresco dining for six. Two walls of the living area open wide to the terrace, so the line between indoors and out becomes pleasingly vague. Inside, vaulted timber ceilings, a generous lounge area, a flat-screen television and a gourmet kitchen with professional appliances keep the mood easy, polished and comfortably unforced.

Bedrooms are arranged with grown-up privacy in mind. The primary suite has a king bed and en-suite bathroom. A second king bedroom also has its own en-suite, while the third bedroom has two queen beds and an en-suite bath, a practical setup for children, friends or a family sharing the trip. Air conditioning, ceiling fans, purified water, high-speed internet, laundry facilities and included maid service make the stay feel quietly handled in the background.

Punta Mita Residential’s community amenities place guests close to the peninsula’s private-club rhythm, and Penthouse Vista Encanto includes a golf cart for moving between beach days, dinner plans, tennis, pickleball and golf. Depending on the day’s access arrangements, your concierge can help orient you toward Punta Mita’s celebrated beach-club scene, including names such as Kupuri Beach Club, Pacifico Beach Club and Sufi Ocean Club, where the appeal is pleasantly specific: oceanfront pools, swimmable beach areas, casual dining, loungers, water activities and that particular Punta Mita talent for making an afternoon disappear.

The setting also puts you close to fishing, surfing, diving and snorkeling, plus the Jack Nicklaus-designed golf courses that give this stretch of coastline its green, sculpted drama. Restaurants, tennis and the private beach club are all within easy reach, so the included concierge is less about fixing problems and more about shaping the day before anyone has finished their coffee.

For a small group that wants the views, the privacy and the club access without taking on an oversized estate, Penthouse Vista Encanto lands in a rather lovely sweet spot. Morning coffee over the fairways, beach club afternoons by golf cart, dinner nearby, then back to the terrace as the bay goes silver. That will do nicely.
