The 21-year-old has developed into an important first-team player at the Bundesliga champions since his summer move and he is delighted to be part of a club of Bayern's stature.
"Up to now my move to Bayern really has been like a dream. Valencia are a small club compared with Bayern," Bernat told the official Bayern website.
"At the age of just 21 I took the plunge to move to a new country, a new league and it’s turned out brilliantly for me being a regular first choice in such a great team. It’s exceeded all my expectations. I just hope it carries on.
"It was a great honour when Bayern contacted me and it made me feel really proud when Pep [Guardiola] rang me to ask if I could imagine signing for Bayern.
"And, of course, I was a bit surprised as I was only 21 and playing my first season at left-back.
"There were no problems with my club Valencia as my contract only had a year to run. Most people shared my excitement and they gave me a good send off."
Bernat has made 29 appearances in all competitions so far this term, scoring once in the process.
