    Pacific coastal town with both cosmopolitan flair and charm

    Unlike many other of Mexico’s Pacific resort-centred coastal towns, Puerto Vallarta has a good balance between tourism and daily local life, which in itself has an distinctly international quality.

    The towns wonderful setting in a sweeping bay of cascading mountains covered in lush rainforest, features beautiful coves to visit, marine life to see and maintains a friendly, intimate and laid-back atmosphere. Overall it is rather surprising that this is not a firm fixture on many visitors maps.

    This is an ideal coastal location for those looking for just the right amount of modern comforts, mixed in with a large menu of both highly cultured and more adventurous activities. This is a town that is not just geared towards tourism. From its picturesque malecon (seaside boardwalk) to some of the best art galleries in the country, lots of fine restaurants, boutique stores, great nightlife, local markets, colonial charm in its zocalo (main square) and ‘zona romantica’ district, plus a host of stylish hotels and spas to pick from, Puerto Vallarta is a surprisingly effortless and entertaining place to stay.

    Luxury accommodation in Puerto Vallarta

    There are many incredible places to stay in Puerto Vallarta. Here are some of our favourites, handpicked by our travel designers:

    Punta Mita

    Imanta
    Situated along a two-mile stretch of private beach within its own private reserve and overlooking, Imanta is a little slice of heaven on the Pacific side of Mexico. Although the property is set on 250 acres of jungle and coastal land, there are just 12 luxury villas nestled amnongst the tropical palms. There are ten one-bedroom casas and two three-bedroom casonas, made from local stone with a distinctive soft pink hue. Interiors feature contemporary Mexican decor with textiles embroidered by the local community and lots of natural materials, including huge bath tubs carved from rock in some of the suites. Many of them also feature private plunge pools. The larger casonas are perfect for small groups and have their own living and dining areas, private pool and Jauzzi and outdoor dining area. There is also the option for a private chef so you really don’t have to worry about a thing. Located a five-minute drive from the main hotel is the Treehouse, an exquisite three-level accommodation that is the ultimate escape. Guests are free to use the facilities at the hotel, but are far enough away to enjoy total seclusion and privacy. Imanta boasts two fantastic restaurants; the relaxed Catch of the Day, serving a lunch menu of Mexican dishes and fresh seafood right on the beach, and the elegant Tukipa, serving delicious seasonal cuisine for breakfast and dinner. And don’t miss the super romantic Observatorio bar, with fabulous cocktails and incredible views. Other facilities on the property include a relaxing spa, with open-top cabins that let you appeciate the sounds of the ocean and the forest, and a fitness centre. There is so much to discover here, and during your stay at Imanta you can bike and hike through the reserve, kayak and snorkel the pristine waters, and even play golf at the nearby 18-hole course.
