Curiel’s Retreat at Villa Amistad — A Peaceful Tropical Hideaway in Puerto Vallarta

Tucked away in the heart of Puerto Vallarta’s historic Cerro/Centro neighborhood, Curiel’s Retreat at Villa Amistad is more than just a vacation rental — it’s your own private sanctuary. Here, the noise of the world fades, replaced by rustling palm leaves, the scent of blooming gardenia, and the soft ocean breeze drifting across your terrace.

Designed as a calm, tropical refuge, this boutique-style apartment blends the charm of old Vallarta with refined, modern comfort. Inside, a striking natural rock accent wall sets the tone — earthy and grounding — while carefully curated touches create an inviting space to slow down and unwind. Step outside and you’ll discover what guests love most: a lush garden terrace — a relaxing outdoor living room. It’s the perfect spot for morning coffee and conversation, reading in the afternoon sun, or sharing a glass of wine beneath the stars.

Whether you’re here for a quiet couples’ escape, a restorative solo getaway, or quality time with family and friends, Curiel’s Retreat offers the serenity and style that make every stay unforgettable — all just a short stroll from the vibrant heart of Puerto Vallarta.
