Conchas Chinas, which literally means Chinese Shells, is home to beautiful beaches and jawdropping homes. Just a 5 min drive south from downtown, Conchas Chinas is known as one of Vallarta’s more rocky beaches, though this has its perks. These rocks form little pools and pockets of water along the shore of Conchas Chinas, making it ideal for a calm swim close to home. The sand is soft as can be,
perfect for catching some rays or taking a walk at sunset.

With most homes dating back to the 1950s and 60s, Conchas Chinas has a rich history in Puerto Vallarta as one of THE most affluent neighborhoods. So much so in fact, that many locals refer to it as the Beverly Hills of Vallarta. This all started when engineer Guillermo Wulff brought his friend John Huston down to show him the beautiful land of Puerto Vallarta, which became the set of his movie “The Night of the Iguana.” This was a crucial moment in Vallarta’s history, as Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor put Puerto Vallarta on the map of the rich and famous, who of course moved down or bought property in Vallarta, primarily in Conchas Chinas.

A mix of contemporary, modern and traditional homes, Conchas Chinas real estate has it all in terms of architecture. Some homes are nestled up in the tranquil hilltops, while some are beachfront beauties. Some with infinity pools overlooking the beautiful bay, others with tennis courts and sprawling land. While each home has its own style, you can be sure to find architecture of the highest quality.

Conchas Chinas is a strictly residential area. Aside from the Oxxo on the main highway, there exists nothing in ways of convenience services.

A vibrant and lively nightlife scene, fantastic restaurants and bars, and of course the famous Los Muertos beach and Malecon.
