Whatever your personality and holiday preference, there is an area to suit everyone in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit, two idyllic, neighbouring areas in Mexico. Take a look at this round up of some of the most breath-taking places to visit in the regions:
Puerto
Vallarta
Conchas Chinas
An exclusive area, full of inclined,
winding roads offering spectacular, hilltop views of Banderas Bay. Aptly named
after the rare shells found only on the local beaches there, the town has been
dubbed ‘The Beverly Hills of Puerto Vallarta’ and is mainly home to residential
housing, along with many condominium and hacienda rentals. Top place to stay: Grand Miramar Resort (http://www.grandmiramar.com)
Romantic Zone
Old Vallarta, just south of the Downtown area, is the busiest part of
Puerto Vallarta. Packed full of quaint cobbled streets, with more shops, cafes, bars and restaurants per square foot than
anywhere else in town, the ‘Romantic Zone’ is a cultural hub. Top place to stay: Playa Los Arcos Hotel Beach Resort & Spa (http://www.playalosarcos.com)
Marina Vallarta
Just 5 minutes from Puerto Vallarta International Airport,
you will find the exclusive Marina filled with yachts, boats and charters.
Built during the most active years of the city in the 1980s, apart from the
boats there is a championship 18-hole golf course and a number of gourmet restaurants. Top place to stay: Velas Vallarta (http://www.velasvallarta.com)
Riviera Nayarit
Bucerias
Upon arrival in this traditional Mexican town it is
hard not to be charmed by the unspoilt cobblestone streets and brightly
coloured houses. It is easy to see why the area is one of the most well visited
destinations in Riviera Nayarit, with serene ocean views, hospitable locals,
lively bars and the best spot for Kitesurfing in the vicinity. Top place to stay: Royal Decameron
Complex (http://www.decameron.com/promosite/index.php/en/decameron-com/mexico-hotels/riviera-nayarit/royal-decameron-complex/)
Punta de Mita
If celeb spotting and the lavish lifestyle is your
thing then Punta Mita is the place for you. Secluded in a private, gated area
this exclusive, luxurious getaway has six miles of pristine, white sandy
beaches, surrounded by green hills and opulent resorts to suit even the most
discerning traveller. It is also famous for its iconic Jack Nicklaus designed golf
courses, relaxing spas and sophisticated boutiques. Top place to stay: St. Regis Punta Mita (http://www.stregis.com/puntamita)

Sayulita is an iconic, traditional fishing village renowned
for being a surf lover’s paradise. A chilled out environment, where music and
celebration fill the air and dazzling sunsets fill the sky, it is perfect for adventure
lovers, comfort seekers, or wedding & honeymoon couples. Top things to do include
horseback riding along the beach, shopping at one of the many small businesses
selling delicious, traditional dishes, visiting the quaint art galleries and
dining at the elegant beachside restaurants. Top place to stay: Hamara Retreat (http://haramararetreat.com)
