The South Shore of Puerto Vallarta is known for both luxurious real estate and resorts and for untouched and tranquil Mexican jungle and seaside. There is less development to the south of Puerto Vallarta, in fact some of the villages and seaside communities are only accessible via boat or water taxi. If you are in the market for real estate, the south shore of Costa Vallarta will offer you a variety from which to choose including high rise or small complex condominiums, single family homes, luxury residences and build-able lots.

As we move south from Conchas Chinas, towards the famous Mismaloya, you find yourself in what most call the South Shore of Puerto Vallarta. This is an area where the jungles of the Sierra Madre Mountains truly creep down to meet the water of Banderas Bay and because of its proximity to Puerto Vallarta; there are a number of high rise condominiums and luxury homes dotting the landscape. Many have ocean access or ocean views and there are several residential developments available as well. In fact, Sierra Del Mar, located on the South Shore was one of the first gated residential communities in this area and remains to this day, luxurious and full of lovely homes.

In this area you’ll find all options available including build-able lots, condominiums and houses anywhere from $200,000.00 up to $12 million.

Mismaloya comes next along the south highway, arguably the most famous village in the Puerto Vallarta area and home of the on location filming of the classic film, Night of the Iguana. The tiny village is so named because this is where the Mismaloya creek meets the waters of Banderas Bay. The love affair that was sparked between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton while filming the John Huston classic has made this a favored location for tourist and expatriates alike. The filming location was turned into a restaurant and while the beach is popular, many are drawn into the jungle and cove areas which are wonderful to explore on horseback. Additionally, the Los Arcos National Marine Park is close by offering snorkeling, scuba diving, hiking, and nature watching for all. This town also offers a variety of Puerto Vallarta real estate opportunities including build-able lots, condominiums and homes from $66,000 up to $4 million.
