About The Canals

Canal is the boating pocket of Nuevo Vallarta — Paradise Village & El Tigre: the part of the original Fraccionamiento Náutico master plan built on the dredged canal system rather than on the sand, off Paseo de los Cocoteros, Paseo de las Gaviotas, Paseo de las Flores, Paseo de las Palmas, Jacarandas and Primavera, feeding Paradise Village Marina, Mexico's only certified clean marina. Canal houses on lots of 350 to 1,350 square metres with private docks sit beside four canal-front condo towers, Quinta San Miguel's Ocean & Canal towers 3, 4 and 5, and Altamar Marina Condos with lock-off units, plus the gated compounds of Green Canal's fifteen villas, Residencial Kupuri's twenty-four houses with a beach club, and Lomas del Sol.

Buyers are American and Canadian boaters, snowbird retirees and rental investors; nearly everything is inside a guarded gate, and the beach is five to twelve minutes on foot from most addresses. Hospital Joya is on Paseo de los Cocoteros inside the area; the airport is fifteen to twenty minutes off-peak, downtown Vallarta about twenty-five.

Practical points. The canal water is crocodile habitat, listed as a red-flag zone by Civil Protection: nobody swims, paddles or lets a pet into it. Private dock is not the same as a deeded slip; Green Canal and parts of Kupuri share a common dock, so verify the slip in the deed. The whole subdivision was carved from ejido land, so the notary confirms the chain is escritura pública or fideicomiso, not still ejidal. Green Canal's dues run about 5,000 pesos a month; ask for twelve months and the rental rules of any compound.
