Living inHotel Zone.

The Hotel Zone — the Zona Hotelera — runs along Banderas Bay north of downtown, parallel to Boulevard Francisco Medina Ascencio, the city's main avenue. It stretches from the Maritime Terminal, where cruise ships dock, south toward the city center.

Its beaches — among them Playa de Oro, Playa Los Tules, Playa Las Glorias and Playa Camarones — are lined with hotels, resorts and high-rise condominiums. Everyday convenience is the draw: Galerías Vallarta, La Isla and other shopping centers sit along the boulevard, buses and taxis run in both directions, and Marina Vallarta and the international airport are a short drive north.

What you'll find here

Mainly high-rise condominiums, many with direct beach access, resort-style amenities and on-site building services. Developments here include Peninsula Vallarta, on Boulevard Francisco Medina Ascencio.

Who it suits

Buyers who want the beach outside the door and errands made easy — and who prefer the services of a full-amenity building to the charm of the old town.

Questionsabout Hotel Zone.

Where is Puerto Vallarta's Hotel Zone?

Along Banderas Bay north of downtown, beside Boulevard Francisco Medina Ascencio, from the Maritime Terminal south toward the city center.

How do you get around from the Hotel Zone?

Shopping and daily errands are along the boulevard. Buses and taxis run south to the Malecón and the Zona Romántica and north toward Marina Vallarta, the airport and Nuevo Vallarta.

What kind of property is available in the Hotel Zone?

Mostly high-rise condominiums, many on the beach, with amenities such as pools, gyms and building staff.

Can foreigners buy property in the Hotel Zone?

Yes. Puerto Vallarta lies within Mexico's coastal restricted zone, so foreign buyers typically hold residential property through a bank trust called a fideicomiso. It is a long-established, routine structure.
