Conchas Chinas: The Beverly Hills of Puerto Vallarta

Conchas Chinas, often referred to as the “Beverly Hills of Puerto Vallarta,” is a stunning and prestigious neighborhood on the south shore of the city. This area is known for its luxury homes, dramatic ocean views, and proximity to some of the most beautiful beaches in the region, including the iconic Conchas Chinas Beach. For those considering moving to Puerto Vallarta and seeking a quieter, more upscale living experience, Conchas Chinas is an excellent choice, offering privacy, beauty, and convenience.

Conchas Chinas is divided into two sections: Upper Conchas Chinas and Lower Conchas Chinas. Upper Conchas Chinas is nestled higher in the Sierra Madre Mountains, providing residents with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and lush mountain surroundings. This area is known for its luxury homes and million-dollar properties, with many villas and estates featuring infinity pools, spacious terraces, and modern amenities. 

Lower Conchas Chinas, closer to Conchas Chinas Beach, offers easier access to the water and the charming streets of Old Town and the Romantic Zone (Zona Romantica). While homes in Lower Conchas Chinas are still luxurious, they may come with a slightly extra cost due to their prime location right by the beach.

Both areas are known to offer a mix of contemporary and traditional Mexican-style luxury vacation homes, perfect for year-round living or a seasonal retreat. The homes in Conchas Chinas are designed to take advantage of the stunning ocean views and mountain landscapes, often featuring large windows, open floor plans, and expansive outdoor living spaces.

The neighborhood takes its name from the tiny Chinese shells found along the shore of Conchas Chinas Beach. The beach is known for its clear, calm waters, making it perfect for swimming, snorkeling, or simply relaxing. Living here means being a stone’s throw from one of the most beautiful beaches on the Pacific Ocean. The surrounding Sierra Madre Mountains provide an additional layer of natural beauty, with tropical greenery that enhances the neighborhood’s appeal.


While the neighborhood is known for its million-dollar homes, it remains conveniently close to the more vibrant parts of Puerto Vallarta, including Zona Romantica and Emiliano Zapata. These areas are home to some of the best restaurants in the city, offering a diverse range of dining options, from traditional Mexican fare to international cuisine. Conchas Chinas is also just a short drive away from Punta Negra Beach, another gem along the south shore.

While Conchas Chinas offers an exclusive and peaceful lifestyle, its proximity to the bustling areas of Old Town and Romantic Zone makes it a perfect balance for those who want privacy without sacrificing convenience. Residents can enjoy quiet evenings in their luxurious homes or venture into the city for a vibrant night out, indulging in the cultural richness of Puerto Vallarta’s southern neighborhoods.

With its stunning location between the Sierra Madre Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, its luxury homes, and the exclusive atmosphere, Conchas Chinas is a top choice for those seeking the best of both worlds—privacy and proximity to Puerto Vallarta’s most desirable areas. Whether you’re drawn to the scenic beauty of Conchas Chinas Beach or the elegance of the hillside villas, this area offers a truly exceptional lifestyle.
