Hacienda Alegre, a rustic, laid-back Eco and Sports Retreat, just 45 minutes drive from Puerto Vallarta Airport. No other private property on Banderas Bay offers you this range of facilities :—Classic 180 degree vista of the Pacific Ocean and the mountain-rimmed Bay. Hacienda Alegre has some of the best surf and beach area on Mexico’s largest bay. Walk down your private steps (30 steps) to 200 feet of very private sandy beach. This estate is centrally located just 20 miles north of Puerto Vallarta and a 10 minute drive from Punta Mita, home of the Four Seasons. This estate is the only family residence on Banderas Bay offering a full time cook service, a 200 feet long ocean frontage, family sized swimming pool, full sized tennis court (just resurfaced), breathtaking sunsets, burros rides, and 2 acres of lush tropical gardens. You’ll find excellent surfing right in front of the house, offering both a right and left break. The cook prepares fine Mexican cuisine and magical margaritas- so they take care of the breakfast, lunch, dinner, appetizers, cocktails and all of the dishes. There is an amazing abundance of colorful tropical birds, frolicking whales and dolphins in the winter and early spring.
