The Riviera Nayarit is located on the Mexican Pacific coast in the state of Nayarit, within the municipality of Banderas Bay. This tourism corridor spans a length of 190 miles and is only 10 minutes north of the Puerto Vallarta International Airport, which is in the neighboring state of Jalisco.
The
Riviera Nayarit is made up of diverse micro destinations where each represents
something unique about this magnificent area. It’s important for us to
differentiate the different towns that together create the Riviera Nayarit, because
this area is commonly confused with Jalisco and many a time the micro
destinations are named as part of this adjacent state.
Even though we share the same climate, culture and
the same bay—the Bay of Banderas—each State has its own distinctive features
that welcome visitors.
The Riviera Nayarit’s many
towns include: Nuevo Vallarta,
Flamingos, Bucerías, La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, Punta de Mita, Higuera Blanca,
Litibú, Sayulita, San Francisco, Lo de Marcos, Los Ayala, Rincón de Guayabitos,
La Peñita, Matanchén Bay, San Blas, Mexcaltitán Island and Playa Novillero.
Each one has its own charm and an ambiance that
runs the gamut, from extreme luxury to culture to hippie chic. We invite you to
