Jet Set to Sunny Puerto Vallarta 

Whether your dream day is a trip down the beach for fresh fish tacos and frozen margaritas, or an afternoon at Puerto Vallarta Botanical Gardens followed by a sunset sail, PVBC's experienced concierge is happy to help. Outdoor adventures are a way of life here, and no trip to the Mexican Riviera would be complete without paddle boarding, scuba diving, kayaking, parasailing or fishing at Banderas Bay. Spend leisurely days along the water’s edge, sunbathing, swimming, and soaking in the sun at Los Muertos Beach. At night, indulge in exciting clubs, art studios and bistros that are just a four-minute stroll from the beach club.
