Versalles has become one of Puerto Vallarta’s favorite neighborhoods for locals and newcomers, with a growing number of restaurants, cafés and new condo buildings. Many people call it the “new Zona Romántica”, with a calmer, more residential feel.

Next door, Fluvial Vallarta is a planned neighborhood with houses, condos and a large park. Both areas sit a few minutes by car from the Hotel Zone beaches, Marina Vallarta and the airport, and close to shopping centers, supermarkets and hospitals.

Kevin’s take

Versalles is the “new Zona Romántica” and the food hub of Puerto Vallarta. Versalles and Fluvial are both flat and walkable, and they give you unmatched everyday convenience: close to movie theaters, Costco, La Comer and all essential services, without the hectic crowds of Zona Romántica. Fluvial in particular is ideal for families and pet owners, thanks to the Fluvial park, who want a house close to everything without breaking the bank.

Who it’s for

Ideal for full-time residents, families, pet owners and buyers who want convenience and value in a house or condo close to everything. Less ideal if you want to walk to the beach.
