Puerto Vallarta is an excellent choice of destination for those looking to combine formidable sunshine, beautiful beaches and activities that will stimulate every member of the family. Shoppers can head south of downtown to the Zona Romantica where a wide array of stores and eateries combine. If you are heading here but don’t fancy shopping, go to Los Muertos Beach where you can soak up some sunshine, watch the many local fisherman or walk onwards to the Conchas Chinas Beach, which is excellent for snorkelling. As well as being able to swim with dolphins at various locations along the coast, one of the most popular activities is taking a water taxi out of Puerto Vallarta between December and March to see whales as they emigrate for the season.

Puerto Vallarta is also an ideal choice for any golfing fanatic. At the south end of the Costalegre, Grand Bay Isla Navidad has three nine hole courses and combines the sport with the opportunity for some rest and relaxation with its spa, massages, facials and gym all available. North of Puerto Vallarta is a golfers paradise; the Four Seasons that boasts nineteen holes of amazing golf with some of the most amazing greens you are likely to see anywhere on the planet.

For culture vultures, head to the Museo Arqueológico and learn about the area’s early inhabitants and also the amazing Los Arcos Amphitheatre in the town’s main plaza.
