Why This Coast Could Overtake Its More Famous Neighbor
Dear Reader,
In July this year, the AARP voted Puerto Vallarta the number one destination for American retirees. Vallarta has attracted retirees and second-home buyers for decades. It started in the 1960s, when John Huston filmed Night of the Iguana here. The film generated publicity worldwide for the town. Today, around 50,000 expats call Vallarta home.
The stretch of coast known as the Riviera Nayarit starts just five miles from Vallarta's international airport. Most people have never heard of it. That's about to change. It's starting to grab the attention of the world press. Once you see this place, you'll understand why.
It offers dramatic beauty: Wide soft-sand beaches, and rocky coves and inlets, backed by forest-cloaked mountains sweeping down to the shore. It offers potential: the government (along with private investors) is infusing billions of dollars in infrastructure and tourist amenities on this coast. Best of all, it offers property prices that haven't yet caught up to its more famous neighbor.
Read on below to find out how you can get a free half-day tour of Riviera Nayarit's finest properties...and a $1000 credit towards your travel costs.

Mexico's Newest Riviera
This 100-mile stretch of coastline features wide, palm-fringed beaches
For decades, only locals and hardcore surfers knew about it.
Then, a few intrepid world travelers and expats started discovering its epic beaches, shimmering blue seas, spectacular deep-red sunsets, and sleepy coastal villages... and decided to live there for good.
And in the past few years, some of Hollywood's most prominent "A" listers got in on the act, too. Jennifer Aniston, Will Smith, John Travolta, Britney Spears, and George Clooney have all graced its shores.
Now it's starting to get the attention of the mainstream press.
Here's what USA Today - the newspaper with the widest circulation in the US - had to say about this formerly-secret coastal enclave in a March 2008 article:
"The beaches here range from secluded rocky coves to wide, palm-fringed expanses. The sea shimmers a dazzling Caribbean blue on some stretches, thanks to an abundance of coral reefs. And thick jungle foliage cloaks the slopes of the Sierra Madres that tumble toward the shore."
That was just the start. Travel magazines showered this location with awards in 2010. Here's just a few:
Hideaways International ranked it as #5 in Top 10 Destinations for 2010, citing its gorgeous coastline, tempting beaches, fantastic cuisine, and myriad sporting attractions.
Travel Weekly voted it the top beach destination in Mexico.
Shermans Travel placed it in the Top 10 Value Destinations.
International Property Journal also named it one of the top 10 locations worldwide for a second home.
The natural scenery is absolutely stunning...the small beach towns that dot the coastline retain a small-town feel and charm - even though the area is surging in popularity and is in close proximity to the world-famous, romantic town of Puerto Vallarta.
And perhaps best of all... property prices have yet to catch up to Puerto Vallarta levels.
This bodes well for you.
You see, it's not too late for you to stake your claim here... if you act quickly, that is.
For if you wait, you're likely to miss out on one of Mexico's best lifestyle opportunities of the decade. The time to act is now.
Where in the world is this place?
It's called the "Riviera Nayarit" - a 100-mile stretch of coastline that starts just 5 miles away from the Puerto Vallarta international airport.
Everything's all set for the Riviera Nayarit to become Mexico's Next Great Place...
The Mexican government has infused over $1.5 billion in infrastructure improvements in the area...
The marina at La Crux de Huanacaxtle plays host to nautical competitions
In 2007 Mexican tourism officials decided to tack the name "Riviera" to the state name of Nayarit. Within three months of the name change, investors poured more money into the state than in all of 2006. In fact, when one government planned resort went for sale, it sold out in only 20 days...
In 2007, a luxury marina opened, joined in 2008 by a second marina across the Bay of Banderas in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle. These marinas now host regattas, oceanic races, and boat shows.
In March 2010, President Calderon inaugurated a new Greg Norman golf course in Litibú. Combined with the eight golf courses already open in the area, this makes the Riviera Nayarit one of Mexico's premiere golf destinations...
Luxury hotels the St. Regis and Four Seasons in Punta Mita, and The Grand Velas Resort, received AAA Five-Diamond awards in 2010...
But here's what's most promising about the Riviera Nayarit's impending tourism boom.
Even though it's bursting onto the world stage, it's highly unlikely that the Riviera Nayarit will ever lose its authentic charm.
That's because real estate developers are trying to retain the area's small-town community "beach vibe." They've seen what can happen in places like Cancun...and they're pulling out all the stops to avoid that.
For expats and locals living in the Riviera Nayarit, or for those considering making the Riviera Nayarit their new home, that's good news.
