Conchas Chinas Hotels in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Known as the Beverly Hills of Puerto Vallarta, Conchas Chinas is a rich residential area filled with new, multimillion condos and grand, old villas. This locale’s name translates to “Chinese seashells.” Shell hunters comb the beach for prize finds; the beach was created over time by broken shells washed smooth by the tide. Calm, clear waters and natural coves make for safe swimming and snorkeling.
