Luxury villa rentals in Amapas.

Amapas is located on Puerto Vallarta’s south shore, directly above the Romantic Zone (Zona Romántica) and just north of Conchas Chinas. It’s a hillside neighborhood split by the coastal highway into Upper and Lower sections. Upper Amapas sits higher on the Sierra Madre foothills with sweeping panoramic views, while Lower Amapas is at beach level with direct access to the sand. Downtown Puerto Vallarta and the Malecón are a 5–10 minute walk downhill, and Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR) is approximately 25 minutes by car.

Yes — walkability is one of Amapas’s greatest strengths. Los Muertos Beach is a 5–10 minute walk from most Amapas villas, and the Romantic Zone’s restaurants, bars, galleries, and shops are equally close. The walk downhill is easy; the return uphill is steeper but short. Most guests walk down for dinner in the Romantic Zone and use their villa’s private chef for breakfast and lunch. Your concierge can also arrange private car service for any outing.

Every Amapas villa booked through Villa Experience includes a private chef or cook (2–3 meals per day, groceries at cost), daily housekeeping, and a dedicated concierge. Many villas also include a butler, bartender, and pool attendant. Your concierge handles restaurant reservations in the Romantic Zone, yacht charters, whale watching tours (December–March), snorkeling at Los Arcos, ATV tours, tequila tastings, spa treatments, and private airport transfers from PVR.

Amapas and Conchas Chinas are neighboring hillside neighborhoods on Puerto Vallarta’s south shore, separated by a short stretch of the coastal highway. Amapas is closer to the Romantic Zone and more walkable to restaurants, beaches, and nightlife. Conchas Chinas is slightly further south, more secluded, and known for its hidden beach coves and the “Beverly Hills of Puerto Vallarta” reputation. Both offer stunning bay views and easy access to downtown — Amapas is the better choice if walkability to town is a priority.
