— The villa is positioned on the South Shore, roughly eight miles outside downtown Puerto Vallarta, in a quieter stretch of coastline than the hotel zone or Zona Romantica. Its cliffside setting means the water is below the property rather than at a flat beach frontage, and the stone steps down to the lower terrace are the way to get closer to the shoreline. The distance from downtown trades some walkability for a more secluded setting.
Villa Luna Creciente on Puerto Vallarta's South Shore in South Shore
Villa Luna Creciente sits on a cliff on Puerto Vallarta's South Shore, about eight miles from downtown, with stone steps leading from the pool terrace down to a lower terrace at the water's edge. The name translates to 'crescent moon villa,' and the vaulted ceilings and Moroccan-influenced arches inside carry that theme through the interior. The property can be booked as a four, five, or six-bedroom villa, which is useful if your group doesn't need the full house.
Open, layered interiors
The living areas carry vaulted ceilings and Moroccan-style arched doorways and detailing, giving the interior a different feel from the typical glass-box villa layout on this coast. Large windows keep the ocean and Los Arcos Islands visible from the main living space, and the room flows directly into the terraces outside rather than being closed off by a hallway.
Designed for the day outside
The main terrace holds a heated pool, useful during the cooler winter months when an unheated pool would be uncomfortable. From there, stone steps built into the cliff face lead down to a lower terrace that puts guests closer to the water than the main pool deck. Shaded lounge seating is set up on both levels.

Frequently Asked
Before you inquire, share these details
Can Villa Luna Creciente be booked with fewer than six bedrooms?
Yes. The villa can be booked as a four, five, or six-bedroom property, so smaller groups can rent only the rooms they need instead of the full house.
How do guests reach the water from the villa?
Stone steps built into the cliff connect the main pool terrace to a lower terrace closer to the water. The villa sits on a cliff rather than at flat beach level.
Why is the pool heated?
The property's pool is heated year-round, which keeps it comfortable during Puerto Vallarta's cooler winter months when an unheated pool can feel too cold for regular use.
How far is the villa from downtown Puerto Vallarta?
The villa is on the South Shore, roughly eight miles from downtown, which puts it in a quieter setting than the hotel zone but still within driving distance of restaurants and attractions.
