Riviera Nayarit & Puerto Vallarta
South Shore Puerto Vallarta Real Estate
Puerto Vallarta's dramatic southern coastline — luxury cliff villas, boutique hotel residences, secluded beaches, and the most spectacular Pacific Ocean views in the bay.
Overview
South Shore Real Estate
Puerto Vallarta's South Shore encompasses the dramatic coastal zone south of Conchas Chinas, stretching through Amapas, the Garza Blanca resort area, El Nogalito canyon, and toward Mismaloya. Known for its dramatic cliff topography, lush jungle scenery, and world-class boutique hotels like Garza Blanca Preserve, it is the most secluded and scenically dramatic residential zone in Puerto Vallarta. Development is intentionally low-density, ensuring privacy and exclusivity for every property.

Frequently Asked
Common Questions
Most South Shore properties are accessed via the southern highway (Boca de Tomatlán road) or in some cases by private boat or water taxi. Some areas near Amapas are easily drivable. Properties further south toward Mismaloya may use water taxis from Los Muertos pier.
South Shore properties range from approximately $600,000 USD for smaller boutique condos to $5M+ for luxury cliff villas and boutique hotel residences. The most dramatic estate properties can exceed $8M–$10M USD.
New development on the South Shore is intentionally limited due to zoning and topographic constraints. Boutique projects in the Garza Blanca area continue to emerge, but overall supply remains tightly controlled — which is precisely what preserves the area's exclusivity and value.
