Morning: Beach Walks & Ocean Breezes
Your day in Puerto Vallarta starts early—because that morning light is unbeatable.
Nationals and expats alike head to Playa Los Muertos, the heart of the Romantic Zone, for a walk or jog along the sand.
You might stop at a beachside café for a cappuccino and fresh fruit. Calli Cacao Café or Bean and Brick are favorite stops for early risers.
The ocean is warm even in the morning, so a quick swim before breakfast? Why not.
Midday: Culture, Cuisine, and Community
By late morning, the city starts to buzz.
Wander through Old Town Vallarta, where cobblestone streets lead to vibrant murals, artisan shops, and locals selling handmade jewelry.
If you’re feeling adventurous, hop on a boat tour from Los Muertos Pier to explore nearby coves like Yelapa or Quimixto.
For lunch, fresh seafood is a must.
Think grilled red snapper, ceviche, or shrimp tacos at La Palapa—all with a front-row seat to the Pacific.
And the people? Friendly doesn’t even begin to cover it. Whether you’re chatting with a shop owner or joining a beach volleyball game, the vibe is always welcoming.
Afternoon: Real Estate Dreams & Relaxation
This is when most people realize—I could live here.
Many visitors find themselves browsing beachfront condos or hillside villas with sweeping views.
Puerto Vallarta’s real estate market has something for everyone—from luxury penthouses to charming casitas.
At VR Realty, we often tour clients through the Romantic Zone and 5 de Diciembre neighborhoods—both stunning, safe, and only minutes from the beach.
If you’ve already made the move? Then your afternoon might be all about relaxing by the pool, reading a book in the shade, or sipping a cool margarita on your terrace.
Evening: Sunsets & Salsa
Evenings in Puerto Vallarta are pure magic.
As the sun sets over the Pacific, locals and visitors line the Malecón—a seaside boardwalk full of street performers, art, and ocean views.
Street tacos for dinner? Yes, please. Or if you’re feeling fancy, there’s no shortage of fine dining—try Café des Artistes for a special night out.
After dinner, live music spills from every corner. Maybe you’ll end up dancing salsa at La Bodeguita del Medio, or watching fireworks from the beach.
Either way, you’ll fall asleep to the sound of the sea and the glow of city lights.
Living the Dream—Every Single Day
Living in Puerto Vallarta means choosing experience over routine.
You trade the fast pace for sunsets. Commutes for cobblestone walks. And stress? That stays behind.
Whether you’re looking to retire, invest, or simply escape the cold, Puerto Vallarta makes it possible to live the dream—not just once a year, but every day.
