Puerto Vallarta’s reputation for year-round sunshine and a lively beach scene is well deserved. For travelers seeking a more exclusive experience away from the downtown bustle, Hotel Mousai elevates a Mexican getaway to a new level of luxury.
This chic, five-star, adults-only resort sits tucked into Jalisco’s jungle foliage above the crowds, offering privacy along with the high-end amenities and ocean-side offerings expected from a top-tier property.

The property operates on an all-inclusive model and offers several accommodation categories to suit different preferences: Mousai Suite, Mousai Corner Suite, Ultra Mousai Suite, Ultra Mousai Corner Suite, and The Penthouse. Each tier comes with its own selection of amenities and upgrade options. My stay in a Mousai Corner Suite included a wrap-around balcony, butler service, a well-stocked minibar, a balcony hammock and hot tub, in-room iPad controls, dual sinks, and contemporary décor. The resort also features a full-service spa with aromatherapy pools, a modern fitness center, and a range of additional services and conveniences.
Beyond the luxurious rooms, notable highlights include 5-star dining, an elegant spa, and a variety of curated activities. A standout feature is the rooftop, centered around an infinity pool that frames sweeping ocean and jungle views. Guests can relax on the pool deck or have their butler reserve a lounge chair—either way, the rooftop becomes a natural gathering place during a stay.
With so many amenities and activities available across the property, you’ll find plenty to do without leaving the resort. At the same time, the rooftop pool and its panoramic vistas make it one of the most tempting spots to linger, and leaving it may be the hardest part of your visit.
