The Best Beaches Near Villa Casa Aliona

Crystal coves, dramatic rocks, and hidden escapes — all within walking distance

Villa Casa Aliona sits perched on a quiet hillside in Amapas, just a 10-minute stroll from some of the most spectacular — and least crowded — beaches in all of Puerto Vallarta. Forget the packed resort strips: your neighborhood beaches are where locals and savvy travelers come to find peace, clear water, and the bay at its most beautiful.

Playa Conchas Chinas

~12 min walk · Blue Flag Certified

The jewel of the south shore. Rocky coves perfect for snorkeling, stunning crystal water, and barely a crowd even in high season. The Sierra Madre mountains extend right down to the sand, creating dramatic natural formations carved by the tides.

Playa Amapas

~10 min walk · Your doorstep beach

A small, emerald-hued cove shaded by native Amapas trees reaching 50 feet high. Mild to moderate waves, rich shells along the shore, and that rare feeling of having a whole beach to yourself. Access via stone steps from the south end of Los Muertos.

Playa Los Muertos

~15 min walk · Iconic PV beach

The heart of the Romántica Zone beach scene. Blue umbrellas, beachside restaurants, the famous Los Muertos Pier, and a festive atmosphere. Great when you want energy, cold drinks, and people-watching with a Pacific backdrop.

Las Caletas & Beyond

Panga or boat · 30–45 min south

For a full-day adventure, take a panga from the south shore to water-access-only beaches like Las Ánimas and Las Caletas. Think pristine bays, jungle-backed shores, and outstanding seafood at family-run beachside restaurants.

Local Tip from Casa Aliona
