Developed around the marina in the late 20th century, Marina Vallarta mixes beachfront condo towers, mid-rise buildings facing the yachts and gated homes along the Marina Vallarta golf course. Its boardwalk around the marina has restaurants, cafés and shops.

Being close to the airport, the cruise terminal, hospitals and large supermarkets makes everyday life simple. Streets are flat and well laid out, which many full-time residents and snowbirds appreciate.

Kevin’s take

Marina Vallarta offers a much more laid-back experience. Everything is completely flat and walkable, and there’s a great selection of restaurants.

Who it’s for

A good fit for boat owners, golfers, frequent travelers and anyone who wants convenience and flat streets. Buyers looking for a traditional Mexican town feel usually prefer Old Town or Bucerías.

Frequently asked questions

Is Marina Vallarta close to the beach?

Yes. Several condo buildings are directly on the beach, and the rest of the neighborhood is a short walk or drive from it. Many buildings face the marina instead of the ocean.

Is airport noise an issue in Marina Vallarta?

Some streets closest to the airport hear arriving and departing flights. Ask to visit the property at different times of day before deciding.

Can I keep a boat at Marina Vallarta?

Yes, the marina rents slips for private boats. Slips are usually managed separately from condo ownership, so check availability and costs with the marina.

Can foreigners buy property here?

Yes. Because this area is within 50 km of the coast, foreigners buy residential property through a fideicomiso (a bank trust) or, for some purposes, a Mexican corporation. The buyer has full use and control of the property and can sell, rent or pass it on. See our buyer’s guide for the step-by-step process.

How much are closing costs?

Buyers usually budget a percentage of the purchase price for acquisition tax, notary fees, appraisal, the fideicomiso setup and registration. The exact amount depends on the price and the municipality (Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco); we provide an estimate for each property.
