If you like pina coladas and layin' low in the sand
You're in good hands in the bustling beach town of Nuevo Vallarta. This resort on the Pacific coast in the Mexican state of Nayarit was especially built for travelers, so there's always something to do. It's known for its lush, expansive golf courses, large marina, and muy largo playas with endless white sands and warm waters. It's also the perfect place for just kicking back with a pina colada at a beachfront bar. Nuevo Vallarta vacation rentals are just north of Puerto Vallarta, also a perfecto place to swim, dance, and relax.
You can't toss a tamale without hitting something fun to do
Because Nuevo Vallarta was built just for travelers who would like to explore Mexico's magnificent coast, you're likely to find something that hits the right spot wherever you are in the area. Par ejemplo, you can visit the carnivorous plant room in the Puerto Vallarta Botanical Gardens. And while you're in Puerto, get a culture dose on an Art Walk through Old Town. You'll probably get an alcohol dose too— because hey, when in Mexico, right? Look but don't touch the crocs at El Cora Crocodile Sanctuary, and you and the kids can make a splash at the awesome water park Aquaventuras.
Looking for some hot stuff? Nuevo brings the heat
It'd be a challenge to find a more perfect year-round climate for a beach vacation. The water at its coldest is in the upper 70s, which makes it perfect for swimming. It shoots up to the 80s in summer, basically the same temp as the air. In fact, air temperatures hold steadily in the 80s for the entire year, with highs in the 90s and lows in the 70s. With this weather, it's no surprise many people book Nuevo Vallarta vacation rentals for the winter holidays. Summer's a little less crowded, especially in August and September.
Iguanas are to Nuevo what pigeons are to NYC—everywhere
Hello, Pacific Ocean! You'll get a good glimpse of the ocean from most Nuevo Vallarta vacation rentals on this hilly coast. Nuevo's nestled in the middle of the Bay of Banderas, bordered by the Anneca River to the south and Punta de Mita peninsula to the north. Farther inland, there are lush jungles, sparkling waterfalls, and scenic tree canopies that are teeming with cool animals, birds, and insects. Dolphins, humpbacks, and turtles frequent the bay; you might also spot Caguama turtles laying eggs in the winter. And even if you don't see any of those, you'll definitely spy plenty of iguanas.
