Puerto Vallarta’s Villa Premiere Boutique Hotel & Romantic Getaway is renowned for its hospitality. Arriving guests are welcomed with a glass of sparkling wine and a relaxing 5-minute massage before they head to their suites, with spectacular views of beautiful Banderas Bay. What guests might not realize is that, by checking in at the property, they are also helping the environment and local communities of Puerto Vallarta.

Last month, Villa Premiere was recognized by Distinctive “S” certificate, a Federal acknowledgment given to entities that practice sustainability in Mexico. This badge follows the requirements of similar awards given by Earthcheck and Rainforest Alliance.

“With positive results, once again, we have proven to be a great team, outstanding always in search of perfection, committed to our company, to ourselves, to our families and our society,” said Alessandro Stifani, General Manager.

Puerto Vallarta boasts eight Blue Flag beaches, the most out of any Mexican destination. Located on Playa Camarones, Villa Premiere Boutique Hotel & Romantic Getaway is beach-front to one of the certified stretches of sand in this vacation mecca. Quality water, good environmental management, visitor safety, clear signage and inclusive spaces are just some of the characteristics that can be found on this beach.

Villa Premiere Boutique Hotel & Romantic Getaway, as part of Buenaventura Hotels, founded the Orchestra School of Puerto Vallarta (OEPV) as a community action program that helps develop young children and teenagers into musicians, with the intention of expanding their outlook and forming a better community within the city. It’s the only music program in Puerto Vallarta with a rigorous and extensive music development regimen, which assures the students a chance at competing with graduates of the best music conservatories and schools.

The OEPV project looks to, among other things, create and educate better citizens within all walks of life. It’s a project that strives to develop better leaders who are committed and consistent in their respect of their city. Along those lines, the project aims to give back to the community, making Puerto Vallarta a more attractive place for everyone. This is accomplished through festivals, concerts, and benefits.
