Location · Mismaloya, Puerto Vallarta

About forty minutes from the airport

Villa Mandarinas is on the coast road past Mismaloya, south of Puerto Vallarta: close enough for a dinner in town, far enough that you’ll hear nothing but the water. Airport transfers can be arranged for your group.

The region

The quiet end of Banderas Bay

South of town the road narrows, the jungle comes down to the water and the hotels thin out. This is the stretch of coast most visitors only see from a boat.

Next door

Mismaloya and Los Arcos

The beach and fishing village are a few minutes away. Just offshore, the Los Arcos rock formations are a protected marine park and one of the best snorkeling spots on the bay.

By water taxi

Beaches without roads

From Boca de Tomatlán, just down the road, water taxis run to Las Ánimas, Quimixto and Yelapa, beaches you can only reach by boat.

Into town

The Malecón and Old Town

Puerto Vallarta’s seafront boardwalk, the Romantic Zone and most of the city’s restaurants are a short drive north, for the nights you want to go out.
