Riviera Nayarit
The sleek and shiny sister next door – Nuevo Vallarta is an up-and-coming vacation hot-spot which has been growing to satisfy the needs of a demanding tourist clientele. Nuevo Vallarta is about convenience and ease of movement – a couple of central arteries take you to wherever you need to be quickly – even at the height of the season.
In Nuevo Vallarta, miles of uninterrupted wide, golden sand beaches flank resort communities and high-rise hotels. This is the perfect location for beachcombing, jogging, walking or bicycling.
As a carefully-planned community, Nuevo Vallarta also offers seven-or-so miles of inland waterways. These create a perfect haven for large, luxurious homes enjoying private water slips and berths for their personal water craft. Nuevo is a yachter’s dream-come-true: the city boasts two of Mexico’s most important marinas and is home to the prestigious Vallarta Yacht Club.
