Spread over 88 acres of lush tropical terrain, Garza Blanca Preserve is home to the award-winning Garza Blanca resort and Five Diamond Hotel Mousai Puerto Vallarta.  It seems that the cold and snowy weather during this winter has been making people realize that purchasing a second home in beautiful Puerto Vallarta is a great idea! There are still opportunities available to purchase either a fully deeded ownership or a fractional ownership so that you can combine residential ownership lifestyles with luxury vacation experiences.   Some people prefer a deeded full ownership property since they like the idea of traveling multiple times per year or prefer to spend the winter months in a sunny destination while it is snowing back home. For others, a deeded fractional ownership is ideal since they can plan to spend just one month of the year in their beautiful residence, but for a fraction of the price than if they owned the residence outright.   Right now, we have our last 9 beachfront units available for sale starting from $823,000 USD. We also have only 3 Panorama winter fractional ownership units left starting at just $200,000 USD for an amazing $1.6 …

Every share in fractional ownership is secured by a separate deed for each purchased residence.  Upon request, Garza Blanca will rent your fractional residence when you are not using it. Income generated can be used to …

Besides the amazing views and the soothing effect of the sound of waves crashing on the shore, studies have shown that spending time by the ocean has numerous health benefits and improves general well-being.   In the 18th and 19th centuries, doctors actually prescribed trips to the beach since the ocean air was considered a cure for almost any illness and had supposed healing powers. Living by the ocean is simply good for your health and can reduce your risk of obesity and lower the incidence of heart disease and other ailments.   More and more foreigners are purchasing Mexican real estate on the coast to enjoy the benefits of living at the beach. What better way to bring relaxation and relieve stress? People that live by the ocean not only report reduced stress, but they live in an environment that encourages physical activity such as walking along the beach or swimming in the ocean. Garza Blanca homeowners with properties in Puerto Vallarta have said that living at the beach is not only luxurious and enjoyable, but it happens to be good for you too!  Recently, scientists have conducted several experiments related to the ocean’s health benefits. One such experiment focused on showing photographs of ocean views, green fields or cities to study participants, and then asking how much they were willing to …
