Here are some of the must-visit gems that pack quite a punch.

Los Muertos Beach Pier

Experience the charm of Los Muertos Beach Pier: The Los Muertos Pier, with its sail floating elegantly over the azure waters and resplendent night lights, is a visual treat. Apart from being a boarding point for water taxis, it’s also the perfect place to enjoy stunning views of the city and the bay area. An evening stroll here is a must for all.

Los Arcos

Dive into nature at Los Arcos: Head south to Banderas Bay and dive into the pristine beauty of Los Arcos, a national marine park that is abuzz with a myriad spectrum of marine creatures. Swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, or sightseeing, there are countless adventures waiting to be had!

Plaza de Armas

Explore Plaza de Armas: Bask in authentic Mexican charm at the Plaza de Armas, an urban pulse-point located near popular landmarks. From free Wi-Fi to the excitement of pirate stories aboard the Marigalante – there's never a dull moment here!

Los Muertos Beach

Marvel at the Los Muertos Beach: Favoured by the locals, the Los Muertos Beach is a popular hot spot for tourists as well. With its vibrant ambience, multi-coloured parasols, and a steady hum of energy, this beach certainly lives up to its reputation.

National Capital of Mariachi

Experience the National Capital of Mariachi: Get ready to sway to the infectious tunes of the Mariachi, especially during the summer when Puerto Vallarta becomes the national capital of this traditional music style. The lively rhythms and spirited performances are bound to leave you tapping your feet.

Destination Essentials

The ideal time to visit is from December to March, when the weather is pleasantly cool and dry, and you can indulge in whale-watching. However, the off-peak seasons, like May and June, provide a beautiful retreat from the crowd. They offer great deals and much-needed tranquillity while still allowing you to experience the best of PV.

If budget-friendly holidays are more your style, bear in mind that the summer months, although hot with occasional showers, proffer incredible deals and discounts. While some hotels may be closed for maintenance during the low seasons (July to September), planning your trip according to your priorities - be it budget, companions, or experiences, will ensure a memorable holiday in magnificent Puerto Vallarta.
