If Cancún is the Caribbean’s polished jewel, Puerto Vallarta is its soulful Pacific counterpart. A city where cobblestone streets, art galleries, and golden sunsets meet luxury resorts and an unmistakably romantic atmosphere.
Old Vallarta, Forever Iconic
Puerto Vallarta’s historic Zona Romántica is one of Mexico’s most charming neighborhoods. Expect:
Narrow, flower-lined streets
Boutique cafes overlooking the sea
Art galleries and local studios
Live music drifting from hidden courtyards
This is where you feel the old soul of PV—authentic, charming, and deeply inviting.

What’s New in Puerto Vallarta
PV keeps evolving with remarkable creativity. New oceanfront developments, modern wellness spas, and chef-led culinary concepts have transformed it into one of the top luxury destinations for U.S. couples.
Marina Vallarta: A polished area with stylish restaurants and sunset strolls along luxury yachts.
New Beach Clubs: Think Ibiza-inspired design, curated DJs, and premium food & drinks.
Adventure Experiences: Whale watching (seasonal), zip-lining through the Sierra Madre, and private boat tours to hidden beaches like Yelapa.
The Perfect Escape for Couples
Puerto Vallarta blends adventure and tranquility effortlessly. Spend your mornings exploring art markets, afternoons on secluded beaches, and evenings tasting some of Mexico’s best coastal cuisine.

Where Luxury Feels Personal
With Newriver Travel's curated resort experiences—including 4 to 5 nights at a boutique or luxury property plus airport transportation and all-inclusive service—you get the elevated PV experience without the premium price tag.
