Barra de Navidad, on the Costa Alegre, midway between Acapulco and Puerto Vallarta, is a picturesque, friendly little fishing town built on a sandbar that extends into the Bahia de Navidad. For swimming and water sports, you can choose between the calm waters of the lagoon, the beach on the bay or one of the spectacular neighbouring beaches. At the far end of the Bahia de Navidad is neighbouring bustling Melaque. Barra is a 20 minute drive from Manzanillo International Airport, two hours from Colima and 3 hours from Puerto Vallarta.
Many of the cobblestone streets are open to pedestrians only and the village is easily explored on foot. Across the bay, accessible by road or water-taxi, in Isla de Navidad, is the 5 star Grand Hotel, with marina and a world class golf course. Barra abounds in good restaurants, great sport fishing, excursions and all variety of water sports.We have breathtaking sunsets,a tremendous variety of birds and we are blessed with warm, delightful people. Time for REAL REST.
Our casa is a spacious,well equipped, comfortable two-storey family home. We have neighbourhood shopping a few steps from the house, we are two blocks from the beach and within easy walking distance to the town centre.
