Casa Kalista, Lomas de Mismaloya, Puerto Vallarta

The Residence

A hillside estate, built to be lived on every level.

Casa Kalista sits above Mismaloya cove on a 1,054.76 m² / 11,349 sq ft lot, gated and private. The house steps down the slope rather than flattening it, so every level takes its own terrace and its own outlook toward the water.

The penthouse suite

A two-level primary suite crowns the house: a large loft above a studio area, panoramic and completely secluded from the rest of the residence. Its own retreat at the top of the terracing.

Below it, the main residence carries five further bedrooms and seven more full baths across the stepped levels, furnished throughout and offered turnkey.

Terraces built for the climate

A main covered terrace for shaded, all-day living; a rooftop pergola lounge for evenings; and a view terrace that opens fully to the cove. Each does a different job, and together they are why the house feels far larger than its footprint.

A pool, jacuzzi, waterfall and fountain run through the gardens between them, with a palapa for outdoor gathering.

Lifestyle

What sits below the house.

Mismaloya's appeal is the water in front of it and the jungle behind it. The cove is a working fishing beach that happens to sit beside one of the most protected stretches of Banderas Bay.

Los Arcos National Marine Park

Five granite islets rise out of Banderas Bay off Mismaloya. The area was protected as a marine refuge in 1975 and designated a national marine park in 1984. People swim, dive, snorkel, kayak and paddleboard around it, and bioluminescent plankton turn up in the water after dark.

Humpback season

Humpback whales return to Banderas Bay each winter. The regulated season opens in early December and runs through the end of March, sometimes into April, with January and February the strongest months.

Where the bay became famous

John Huston shot The Night of the Iguana at Mismaloya, released in 1964 with Richard Burton, Deborah Kerr and Ava Gardner. That production is what first put Puerto Vallarta in front of an international audience, and the cove has carried the association ever since.

The road south

Highway 200 continues past Mismaloya into the Cabo Corrientes hills. The Vallarta Botanical Garden sits at the Km 24 marker, about 24 km from Old Town Puerto Vallarta.

Location

Lomas de Mismaloya.

The estate sits above Mismaloya cove on Puerto Vallarta's South Shore, the stretch of coastline that first put the bay on the map, with the water below and the jungle behind. Highway 200 is the only road in, a two-lane route between the mountains and the ocean, which is part of why Mismaloya still feels like its own village rather than an extension of town.

Malecón & Zona Romántica	~9 mi / 14 km · about 15–20 min
Marina Vallarta	~12 mi / 19 km · about 20–25 min (est.)
Puerto Vallarta Airport (PVR)	~13 mi / 21 km · about 35–40 min

Drive times are approximate and vary with traffic on Highway 200; the Marina Vallarta figure is interpolated between the other two rather than independently sourced.

Price & Value

What the number means.

At $2,885 per square meter ($268 per square foot), Casa Kalista is priced roughly 24% below Puerto Vallarta's citywide average for comparable construction, while offering 1,038 m² of furnished, turnkey living plus a separate service residence on its own gated lot.

Prices are quoted in United States dollars and listed in Mexican pesos at $51,899,000 MXN. Under the terms carried on the MLS listing, amounts advertised in USD are payable in Mexican pesos at the Banxico FIX exchange rate in effect on the payment date, or at another rate agreed by the parties, so the peso equivalent moves with the rate.

Areas shown are the surfaces stated in the escritura. Covered outdoor living space is included in the total, consistent with how these residences are built and lived in on the South Shore.
