— The villa sits on cliffs along Puerto Vallarta's South Shore, giving it a wider, more elevated view than hillside villas set further back from the coastline — the 180-degree sweep takes in both the open Pacific and the Los Arcos formations. That cliffside position means the villa is elevated above the water rather than beachfront, so guests get the view without direct beach access at the property. It's a drive from downtown Puerto Vallarta's restaurants and the malecón.
Casa San Sebastian: A 6-Bedroom Cliffside Villa Above Los Arcos in South Shore
Casa San Sebastian is an 8,000-square-foot villa perched on the cliffs of Puerto Vallarta's South Shore, with 180-degree views across the Pacific and the Los Arcos rock formations. Its defining feature is structural: two century-old higuera trees rise straight through the white marble floors of the split-level house, a detail that shaped the architecture rather than being added around it. Six en-suite bedrooms sleep up to 12 guests, and a heated 50-foot infinity pool runs along the cliff edge, positioned to catch sunset views over the water.
Open, layered interiors
White marble floors and large windows run through the split-level interior, with the two higuera trees visible from multiple rooms as they pass through the different levels of the house. The open layout keeps living and dining connected, and the marble and glass combination makes the interior brighter than the stone-and-wood finish used at other villas in this collection. It's a more contemporary, minimal interior than the hacienda-style villas nearby, built to let the cliffside view and the trees do the visual work.
Designed for the day outside
The 50-foot heated infinity pool runs along the cliff's edge, long enough to swim laps in rather than just lounge, with a 180-degree view of the Pacific and Los Arcos from the water. Multiple terraces step down the cliffside for sunbathing and outdoor dining, and the elevated position means the sunset view here is largely unobstructed. There's no direct beach access from the property — this is a cliffside villa built around the view, not a beach house.

Frequently Asked
Before you inquire, share these details
Does Casa San Sebastian have direct beach access?
No — it's a cliffside villa with elevated ocean views over the Pacific and Los Arcos, not beach frontage. If direct beach access matters for your trip, ask us about Casa Papelillos, which sits on the sand.
What's the story behind the trees inside the house?
Two century-old higuera trees were left in place during construction and grow up through the white marble floors of the split-level house, visible from multiple rooms.
Is the pool long enough to swim laps?
Yes, the heated infinity pool runs 50 feet along the cliff edge, which is long enough for laps rather than just lounging.
How are the six bedrooms laid out across the split levels?
All six are en-suite; if you need the exact floor-plan breakdown for your group before booking, ask us and we'll confirm the layout with the property.
