Neighborhood Overview
New & Coming Soon (Now Taking Sales) 📍
Now taking sales
The marina’s newest chapter is led by Avanti Golf & Marina — two towers, 127 golf-front residences, under construction next to the Marina Vallarta Golf Course, taking presale reservations now with flexible payment plans and first deliveries from late 2027. Watch also for boutique Batros Marina Residences and the beachfront Marina Towers, bringing the first fresh, finished inventory the marina has seen in years.
Legacy Resale (Move-In Ready, Attractive Entry) 📍
Move-in ready, attractive entry
For buyers who’d rather skip the wait, the marquee beachfront towers Shangri-La and Tres Mares (both by Miserachi Arquitectos) anchor the high end with full-service amenities and private beach access. Around them, established names — Bay View Grand, Marina del Rey, Villamar, V Golf, V Marina, Nima Bay, Portofino, Marina Las Palmas, Puesta del Sol, Velas Vallarta and Los Caracoles — span turnkey condos to golf-front and marina-front penthouses, priced to enter at one of the friendliest points on the bay. Beachfront, golf-course and marina views still carry a clear premium.
Worth knowing who built the neighborhood’s first landmark: Puesta del Sol — 160 residences and a tennis club, still the boardwalk’s social anchor — was the work of Guillermo Wulff, the same builder behind the Gringo Gulch houses of the Burton–Taylor era. The marina is where Vallarta’s 1960s building lineage arrived in the 1990s.
Standalone Homes & Townhomes 📍
Docks instead of garages
It isn’t all condos: gated enclaves like Punta Iguana, Isla Iguana, Villas del Country, Villas Fairway and Villas Gaviotas offer true single-family residences and tri-level townhomes, several with private boat slips and direct yacht views.
