Puerto Vallarta · Jalisco
Full of Character. Unhurried. Unforgettable.
Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco. A vast, sheltered bay between the Sierra Madre and the Pacific, with a town that never stopped being a town. Private homes, experiences chosen one by one, and a team that lives on this bay.
Puerto Vallarta opens onto Banderas Bay, one of the largest bays in the Americas, with the Sierra Madre Occidental dropping straight into the water. That geography explains everything: it shelters the bay, keeps the water calm, and puts beach, jungle and mountain within a few kilometres of each other.
The old centre keeps its cobblestones, its tiled roofs and the crowned parish church that became its outline. Around it grew a city that knows how to cook, how to paint and how to host, without losing the scale where people still recognise you by the second day.
01
The Bay
It drops more than half a kilometre deep within sight of shore. That is why humpbacks come here to calve each winter, and why sailfish are a morning's run rather than an expedition.
02
The Sierra Madre
Behind the city, steep green mountain: river canyons, waterfalls, and southern coves no road reaches — only the water does.
03
The Town
Cobblestone streets, galleries that genuinely work, and kitchens three generations deep. Vallarta became famous overnight in the sixties, but the town was already here.

Four Ways Into Vallarta.
Start with the experience that speaks to you.
Humpback Whale Encounter
Every winter, humpback whales travel thousands of miles to give birth in the warm, protected water of Banderas Bay. A small-boat morning with a marine guide who reads behaviour rather than chases it — you keep a respectful distance, and the bay does the rest.
Marietas Islands
A protected national park of volcanic islets where blue-footed boobies nest and the water turns an improbable clear blue. Access is capped by the park authority, so the day is planned around the permit — which is precisely what has kept it worth visiting.
Spa & Wellness Retreat
A day built around doing very little: treatments drawing on Mexican traditions, a temazcal if you want one, and enough unscheduled time between them that you actually feel the difference.
"The day doesn't switch off here. The sierra turns to silhouette, the water goes still, and for a few minutes the whole bay is one colour."
