🏘️ Best Areas to Stay in Puerto Vallarta
Puerto Vallarta spans from the cobblestone charm of Old Town to sprawling all-inclusive beach resort zones — where you stay defines the character of your trip.
🌺 Zona Romántica / Old Town
The most authentic and walkable neighborhood in Puerto Vallarta — LGBTQ+-friendly, packed with local restaurants, craft shops, art galleries, and the lively Los Muertos Beach. The Malecón boardwalk connects it to downtown. The best neighborhood for foodies and independent travelers. Hotels from $79/night.
⛵ Marina Vallarta
Upscale and modern — home to the yacht marina, an 18-hole golf course, and some of Puerto Vallarta's best seafood restaurants. Closer to the airport. A quieter, more residential feel than Old Town but with easy access to the city. Hotels from $109/night.
🏖️ Nuevo Vallarta
Just north of the city in Nayarit state — the all-inclusive resort zone with expansive private beaches, swim-up bars, and massive pools. Best for travelers who want everything in one place without leaving the resort. The Vidanta complex is based here. Hotels from $129/night.
🌴 Punta Mita
An exclusive gated peninsula at the tip of Banderas Bay — home to Four Seasons and St. Regis resorts, world-class surf breaks, and some of the area's most pristine beaches. The most secluded and upscale option. Perfect for a luxury splurge away from the crowds. Hotels from $179/night.

Los Muertos Beach & the Malecón The heart of Old Town's beach scene — Los Muertos has beach clubs, restaurants right on the sand, and a festive pier. Walk north along the Malecón boardwalk past sculptures, street performers, and the historic Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe. A perfect morning or sunset activity that's entirely free.
-
Marietas Islands Snorkeling Tour A UNESCO biosphere reserve about 35km offshore — home to the famous "hidden beach" (Playa del Amor) accessible only through a water tunnel at low tide. The islands are surrounded by abundant marine life, blue-footed boobies, and stunning coral. Permits are strictly limited — book weeks in advance during peak season. Tours from $85/person.
-
Whale Watching (December–March) Banderas Bay is one of the best whale watching destinations in the world — humpback whales come to breed, give birth, and nurse their calves from December through March. Boat tours depart daily from the marina. Watch mothers and calves breach just meters from the boat. Tours from $65/person. An unforgettable natural experience.
-
Old Town Food & Tequila Tour Puerto Vallarta's Zona Romántica has a booming culinary scene — from street tacos and fresh ceviche to upscale Mexican cuisine. Guided food tours take you through the neighborhood's best spots including a tequila and mezcal tasting. One of the best ways to experience local culture beyond the beach. Tours from $55/person.
-
Sayulita Day Trip A charming surf village 40km north of Puerto Vallarta in Nayarit state — colorful buildings, a bohemian market scene, beginner-friendly waves, and excellent fish tacos. Easily reached by bus or private transfer in under an hour. A great contrast to the resort hotels — visit for a morning or stay for dinner. Surfboard rentals and lessons available on the beach.
-
Banderas Bay Sunset Cruise Banderas Bay — one of the largest bays in the Americas — is stunning from the water. Catamaran and sailboat cruises depart nightly from the marina, typically including open bar, live music, snorkeling stops at hidden coves, and dramatic Pacific sunsets. A must-do on any Puerto Vallarta trip. Cruises from $75/person.
