Puerto Vallarta is a resort town along the Pacific coast of Mexico. Puerto Vallarta honeymooners are drawn here for the beautiful beaches, many opportunities for water sports and the raucous party scene. The city center has a small-town feel and features cobblestone streets, an ornate cathedral, boutique shopping and a number of restaurants, clubs and bars. The town has a very well-developed tourist infrastructure with a number of sophisticated resorts and hotels lining the beachfront as well as upscale dining options. The scenery is superb here with not only a beautiful, sophisticated oceanfront but also the Sierra Madre Mountains to the east of town. However, the town itself has much to offer, so make sure you take time to walk its streets, enjoy some delicious local food, shop the city’s unique boutiques and dance the night away in one of Puerto Vallarta’s legendary nightclubs.

You'll love all that a Puerto Vallarta honeymoon has to offer. 

When to Go

The best time for a Puerto Vallarta honeymoon is April-June when the weather is favorable and accommodations comparably affordable. Whale watching season is from January to March but this is also the time of year that Puerto Vallarta sees its most expensive prices.
