Who Nuevo Vallarta suits
Golfers, boaters and lock-and-leave buyers
If your idea of the good life is a pool, a fairway, anda short run to an airport, Nuevo Vallarta is engineered for it. Because it is a planned corridor of resorts and residences,almost everything you need is on site or a short drive away and the beach is the point of the address.
It suits owners who will visit in seasons rather than live year-round:management-heavy, amenity-rich neighborhoods keep the place maintained while you're back north.
