Your Guide to Conchas Chinas Villas
Known as the “Beverly Hills of Puerto Vallarta,” Conchas Chinas is an upscale, exclusive neighborhood along the southern edge of Banderas Bay. As a result, Conchas Chinas villas are the best way to experience the beautiful landscapes and vibrant culture that make Puerto Vallarta so special.
Named after the small Chinese shells found along its shores, Conchas Chinas was first developed in the 1960s following Puerto Vallarta’s rise to fame. Endorsements from celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor only furthered its popularity, giving way to ever more elaborate Conchas Chinas villas.
Today, Conchas Chinas villas are celebrated as some of the very best stays in Mexico. They offer dramatic views of the Sierra Madre mountains and the Pacific, while being surrounded by lush, tropical landscapes.
Renting a luxury villa in Conchas Chinas is easy with Rental Escapes. First, choose your travel dates. Next, select your party size. From there, your Rental Escapes Villa Specialist will happily present you with the best available Conchas Chinas villas for your group. After, your Concierge customizes your trip, including transportation, chef service, excursions, boat charters, and more.
