Mismaloya Hotels and Accommodation

Mismaloya, a small village on the Pacific coast of Mexico, is located on Bahía de Banderas, a short 15-minute drive south of Puerto Vallarta. Fishing, swimming, sunbathing, scuba diving, snorkeling, and nature watching dominate the activities in this tranquil, out-of-the way tropical vacation setting. Mismaloya may look somewhat familiar to you, as it is where Night of the Iguana was filmed in 1963. The ruins of the set still remain on a hill rising up from Mismaloya Cove. Several scenes in the movie Predator were filmed nearby as well, in a jungle setting called El Eden, across Highway 200 from Playa Mismaloya and a short and rustic drive up the Mismaloya River.
