Nuevo Vallarta
A resort area on the Nayarit side, right next to Puerto Vallarta airport, with wide beaches, a marina and a concentration of all-inclusive hotels.
Nuevo Vallarta lies on the north bank of the Ameca River, across the river from Puerto Vallarta in Jalisco state. It is about 10 minutes from the international airport and is the area with the highest concentration of all-inclusive hotels in Riviera Nayarit. It offers several kilometres of gentle sand beach, a marina, golf courses and water parks, making it good for families and holidaymakers. Many hotels run sea turtle hatching and release programmes in summer and autumn. In winter, visitors can head out from the marina to watch humpback whales or go to the Marietas Islands. Although it is in Nayarit state, it shares the same time zone as Puerto Vallarta, while places further north such as Guayabitos are one hour behind.
