Mesmerizing Mismaloya

Just 15 minutes from all the amenities of downtown Puerto Vallarta the beautiful area of Mismaloya on the south side of Banderas Bay awaits.  It’s a serene tropical paradise that offers amazing views and access to some of the nicest beaches in the Vallarta region.

The name “Mismaloya” comes from the indigenous Nahuatl language and means “place where they grab fish with their hands”, which belies its history as a small fishing village.  But now you will find some of the most desirable luxury condos, homes and villas in the Puerto Vallarta area built into the lush jungle mountainside to take full advantage of sweeping Banderas Bay views including the famous Los Arcos Marine Park.

Some of the lifestyle features found here include beach restaurants, jet skiing, parasailing, snorkeling and diving at Los Arcos Marine Park, water taxi rentals to other beaches only accessible by boat like Yelapa and Las Animas, fishing and even a canopy tour and ATV rentals for those who like to stay active.  There is also a wonderful hike through the mountainside all the way to Los Animas beach.  Or just enjoy a stunning Puerto Vallarta sunset over Banderas Bay from your terrace.  The choice is yours in beautiful Mismaloya.
