Veloa Residences Puerto Vallarta: Inside the New Luxury Development in the Romantic Zone
The rooftop pool.
Puerto Vallarta’s Romantic Zone just got a new neighbor, and it’s definitely not shy about making an entrance. Veloa Residences is one of the newest developments in the area, and it’s built around a simple idea: life in paradise should feel effortless, beautiful, and deeply livable—not just pretty in photos.
Inspired by “la asombrosa belleza de la vida en el paraíso”—the astonishing beauty of life in paradise—Veloa is designed as a sanctuary where living, being, and thriving all meet. It’s meant to feel like a true home base in the city, not just a vacation stop.

In the Middle of Everything…
Veloa is located right in the heart of Puerto Vallarta’s iconic Zona Romántica. Think cobblestone streets, local cafes on every corner, galleries, bars, and some of the best food in the city. From here, you can walk to the beach in just a few minutes, grab dinner at a neighborhood spot, or be on the Malecón before sunset without ever needing a car.
Located in the heart of the Zona Romantica area…. footsteps from the gay bars!
The idea is that you get the full, vibrant energy of the city just outside your door, and then you step back into your own calm, private space when you’re ready to recharge. City magic on the outside, sanctuary on the inside.

Where Your Soul Meets the Sun
Veloa leans into that tagline: “Donde tu alma se funde con el sol”—where your soul meets the sun. The design is modern and clean, but not cold. Spaces are meant to feel open, bright, and functional, with layouts that actually make sense for everyday living.
Units are thoughtfully planned: open living areas, well-defined kitchens, laundry spaces, and bedrooms designed for comfort rather than just aesthetics. Depending on the floor and orientation, you’re looking at views of the mountains, the ocean, or the cityscape—each giving a different flavor of Vallarta life.
There’s a wide range of sizes, from cozier 1-bedroom units around 64–66 m², to more spacious layouts with two and three bedrooms, all the way up to penthouse-style homes that pass the 2000 ft² mark. So whether you’re imagining a personal pied-à-terre, a winter escape, or a full-time residence, there’s a format that fits.

Resort Vibes, Residential Reality
Veloa also leans into amenities—but in a way that feels more “live here” than “hotel guest for a weekend.”
You’ve got the kind of spaces that make staying home feel like an actual plan: an infinity pool and jacuzzi where you can float and look out toward the mountains or sea; a sun deck and lounge areas that lend themselves to lazy afternoons with a book or a drink; and a spa/serenity room for when you really want to unplug.
For day-to-day life, there’s a gym setup that includes both a general workout area and a more exclusive residents’ gym, plus a meeting room—perfect if you’re working remotely or need a quiet spot to jump on Zoom. Social spaces and a bar counter tie into that sense of community: you can easily imagine small gatherings, pre-dinner drinks, or casual building events happening here.
On the practical side, there are two parking areas (a big deal in the Romantic Zone), an elevator and stairs serving multiple levels, a fire protection system built into the infrastructure, a trash chute to keep things clean and efficient, and on-site administration to help with day-to-day building needs. There’s also a commercial area at ground level, which will likely evolve into shops or services that add even more convenience for residents.
Inside the Homes (some of the renders)
While most of the visuals available are renders and plans—which are always subject to change—you can still get a good sense of how living at Veloa might feel.
Smaller units work well as lock-and-leave spaces or investment properties, while the mid-size and larger floor plans are much more suited to long stays, families, or people planning to relocate full-time. Many of the layouts include multiple bathrooms, proper laundry areas, and smart distribution of space so you’re not sacrificing comfort just to have a great location.
And as you move higher in the building, you start to gain those more dramatic views that make morning coffee or sunset cocktails feel like an experience all by themselves.
Backed by an Active Local Developer
Veloa is part of a portfolio by Grupo Solcon, a developer with several projects already in and around Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit. They’ve built in the Romantic Zone before with developments like Loft 77 and Artee 378, expanded into neighborhoods like 5 de Diciembre with Trópico 1371, and into Bucerías with Maíiri, plus other projects like Palmaré and Mayamar in Amapas.
For potential buyers, that kind of track record matters—it means the team behind Veloa isn’t new to the area or to the kind of buyer that’s drawn to Puerto Vallarta.
What Veloa Represents for the Romantic Zone
Veloa isn’t just another tower going up—it’s part of the next wave of how people want to live in Puerto Vallarta: walkable, connected, design-forward, and comfortable enough to actually spend months (or years) in, not just a long weekend.
If you’re someone who loves the charm of the Romantic Zone but also wants modern amenities, clean lines, a pool, a spa, a gym, and all the practical details dialed in, this type of development is exactly what that future looks like.
