The most romantic areas in Puerto Vallarta

For a romantic getaway in Puerto Vallarta, there are no better neighborhoods than Zona Romantica and Conchas Chinas.

Zona Romantica (the romantic zone), also popularly known as the old town of Puerto Vallarta, is a colorful neighborhood holding the very Mexican essence of the city. It’s affectionately known as the “gaybourhood” of Puerto Vallarta, so many LGBTQ+ couples choose to stay at this location. 

The romantic zone is best explored on foot— you can witness art galleries, beaches, and of course, the majestic boardwalk. The music continues to spark the night, and the shores offer a soothing contrast to the city. 

Plus, Zona Romantica’s food game is top-notch— it has some of the best restaurants where you can find delicious local and international cuisine. 

If you prefer a quieter escape, head to Conchas Chinas, where the beauty of Sierra Madre meets the Pacific ocean’s crystal water.

Conchas Chinas is your romantic getaway— you live at the footsteps of the mountain and are steps away from the beach. It’s the perfect place to witness Puerto Vallarta’s mesmerizing sunrise and sunsets.

That’s the beauty of Conchas Chinas; there’s beauty wherever you look. You can witness the entire bay from the top, and it doesn’t get any more spectacular than this.

The lush jungle and wide range of flora will make it difficult to leave your hotel – but if you feel like getting out, Conchas China is the perfect gateway to nearby off-the-beaten beaches like Quimixto and Yelapa.
