Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit area guides
Colonia by colonia, with Chase’s map, MLS data and my listings in each area.
Zona Romántica
The old town south of the Río Cuale: cobblestone streets, Los Muertos beach and the densest mix of restaurants, bars and galleries in the city.
Marina Vallarta
A planned district around the marina and the golf course, minutes from the airport.
Villa Las Flores
A residential area by the airport, close to the Marina and the Hotel Zone, where newer condo buildings such as Mangle Living Home stand next to a protected estuary.
Conchas Chinas
The hillside just south of Zona Romántica, with ocean-view homes and condos above small coves.
Agua Azul
An established residential colonia of Puerto Vallarta, inland from the Hotel Zone, with mostly flat streets.
Sayulita
A surf town in the Riviera Nayarit, north of Puerto Vallarta, known for its beach and its village feel.
Rincón de Guayabitos
A calm, family beach town on a sheltered bay in Nayarit, where beachfront costs much less than in Puerto Vallarta.
