Cool Destination: The Ultimate Puerto Vallarta Guide

Our favorite places to stay, eat, drink, explore, and linger in one of Mexico's most captivating beach towns.

What makes Puerto Vallarta special isn’t any one hotel, restaurant, or hidden beach. It’s the rhythm of the place. The way jungle and mountains fold into the Pacific. The way luxury and local life occupy the same block without feeling forced. The way every day feels like it could go one of a dozen different directions. And all of them would be the right one.

This guide is the sheet music of that rhythm. The places we’d send a friend. The meals we’d happily eat again. The hotels we’d book without a second thought. Consider it your shortcut to falling in love with Puerto Vallarta’s rhythm.
