Luxury Hotels in Riviera Nayarit

Stretching north from Puerto Vallarta along Mexico's Pacific coast, Riviera Nayarit offers a more relaxed alternative to its famous neighbor. The main draw is its incredible diversity of beaches and towns, from the surfer-friendly breaks of Sayulita to the tranquil, turtle-nesting sands of Playa Tortugas. You can spend your days exploring the cobblestone streets and art galleries of San Pancho, or take a boat to the pristine Islas Marietas for snorkeling in hidden coves. The Sierra Madre mountains provide a dramatic green backdrop to it all.

This coastline suits almost every traveler. Couples find seclusion in Punta Mita's high-end resorts, while families appreciate the gentle waves and spacious rentals in Nuevo Vallarta. Surfers and solo travelers gravitate towards the bohemian energy of Sayulita. Getting here is straightforward via Puerto Vallarta's international airport, with taxis and local buses providing easy connections along the coastal highway.

Accommodation here is dominated by luxury resorts and charming boutique hotels, though you'll find a few budget-friendly options in the surf towns. On HOTEVI, you can compare places like the grand, beachfront Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit, the intimate, adults-only Hotel Cielo Rojo in San Pancho, and the casual, surf-centric Hotelito Los Sueños in Sayulita.
