Nuevo Vallarta – Comfort, order and family life

Nuevo Vallarta (increasingly called Nuevo Nayarit) is the planned development on the Nayarit side: canals, its own marina, the bay's longest flattest beach and a chain of residential towers and gated communities. It is the resort destination par excellence, with the region's largest concentration of pre-sales.
