What is a beachfront condo in Puerto Vallarta?

A beachfront condo has direct beach access from the development, without crossing streets or other properties. They typically include exclusive beach access, a palapa or private beach area, and direct ocean views. They generate up to 50% higher Airbnb ADR than condos 2 blocks from the beach.

How much more expensive is a beachfront condo vs. one near the beach?

Beachfront condos in Puerto Vallarta cost 30–80% more than similar properties 2–5 blocks from the beach. The premium varies by zone: higher in Amapas and Conchas Chinas (up to 80%) and lower in Nuevo Vallarta (25–35%). The extra vacation rental income typically justifies the premium.

Are there legal restrictions on beachfront properties in Mexico?

Yes. The Federal Maritime Zone (ZOFEMAT) — the first 20 meters from high tide — is federal territory and cannot be privately owned. 'Beachfront' properties have beach access rights but don't own the beach. HOMIA verifies titles and ZOFEMAT concessions in every transaction.

What is the ROI of a beachfront condo in Puerto Vallarta?

Beachfront condos in Puerto Vallarta generate 30–50% higher ADR than inland properties, with similar or better occupancy. Typical gross yield ranges from 5–8% annually, with historical capital appreciation of 10–15% per year in premium zones like Amapas, Conchas Chinas, and Bucerías.
