Las Caletas
A private bay on the south shore reachable only by boat, once the home of director John Huston and now the venue for an all-inclusive beach day trip and the “Rhythms of the Night” dinner show.
John Huston lived in seclusion here in his later years. Today the bay is run exclusively by Vallarta Adventures. The daytime “Beach Retreat” day trip includes snorkeling, kayaking, a jungle trail, a buffet lunch and an open bar. The evening “Rhythms of the Night” trip sails to the bay, where guests watch a torch-lit show of songs and dances inspired by pre-Hispanic culture and enjoy a candlelit dinner. Advance booking is required; the cost is about 100–150 USD per person. It departs from Marina Vallarta, with a boat ride of about 1 hour.
