Guayabitos Real Estate

Guayabitos is a popular beachfront vacation destination for many middle-class Mexican families who flock to the area throughout the year, especially during Semana Santa, México's Spring Break equivalent. By the same token, an increasing number of budget-conscious tourists from Canada and the United States are including Guayabitos in their "must-visit" lists as they explore Puerto Vallarta and surroundings.

Guayabitos is actually made up of three towns: Rincón de Guayabitos, La Penita de Jaltemba and Los Ayala. Guayabitos and its northerly neighbor La Penita have somewhat merged together creating one large community that's situated in front of the long, sandy beach of Jaltemba Bay. At the southern end of Guayabitos a rocky outcrop separates it from the smaller town of Los Ayala, which is set inside another smaller bay.

Living here reflects a beach lifestyle. Things work at a slower pace and life usually revolves around what is taking place at the beach, whether that's swimming and sunbathing, or enjoying happy hour.

Guayabitos real estate opportunities involve mostly small condominium projects along the beach and some in town, with single family homes for sale at reasonable prices. Most owners are primarily from Guadalajara, although there is a strong Canadian community, for those that like to be away from the larger towns and something more "authentically" Mexican. Some beachfront homes are available at the southern end of Los Ayala.

North of Guayabitos is the gated real estate development of Costa Canuva, which, when built out it will consist of 2,500 home sites, (homes and condominiums) along with five hotels and a golf course.

For those looking for something more upscale (and certainly pricier), there’s Mandarina, situated just south of Guayabitos. Built around the One&Only Mandarina hotel are 55 villas perched on a mountainside, nestled into the lush tropical jungle.
