Marina Vallarta
BY JESUS DE AVILA - EDITOR OF PVMIRROR

Without any doubt it is the most exclusive tourist area in the northern part of Puerto Vallarta . This is a super first class residential development where luxury and functionality combined join the refinement of a spectacular professional 18 hole golf course, where two of the holes offer spectacular views of the ocean and the mountains which are located at the southern side of the bay.

The great sculpture of the humpback whale and its baby, carried out by the sculptor Octavio Gonzalez, is in charge of the welcome greeting of this zone. It is located right at the beginning of the main avenue which is the principal entrance to Marina Vallarta. The whale is protected by the sculpture of Neptune which is the symbol of one of the shopping malls of the area.

Marina Vallarta is the most attractive and best planned marina in Mexico . It offers 555 slips with all services that can be used for short or long periods of time. In front of the golf course we find 5 star and luxury hotels, as well as important developments of the time share industry. Prestigious restaurants, cafes, bars, galleries, jewelry shops and stores are located along its impeccable and romantic boardwalk, offering spectacular views of the marina, the yachts and the sailboats. Within Puerto Vallarta , Marina Vallarta is a destination that stands out by itself.

Contributing to the increase of its capital gain, at present the development of incredible residential projects, villas and condominium is booming. All the services for its residents are first class. Walking through its paved streets is an excellent opportunity in order to observe a collection of homes with a minimum value of one million dollars each.

Marina Vallarta is also a place for photography lovers. Its streets or avenues decorated by palm trees, the balconies that look out onto the marina or the golf course adorned by bougainvilleas or gold cup flowers, the golf course with its fairways of sand, lakes and greens, the luxury yachts and sailboats moored at the piers, as well as the fishing boats, the birds ploughing the sky, the sunrises, the sunsets, the ironworks adorning some of the entrances to fantastic residences, all these are elements, amongst many others, that do not go by unnoticed by the eye of the searcher for scenes with impressive coloring.

The beach in this zone is perfect to enjoy the sun while resting or strolling along the sand. There is a constant activity since the majority of the hotels offer diverse activities and events.
