Couples Holidays
Mexico’s Pacific Coast is growing in popularity, and fast becoming one of the country’s most exciting holiday destinations.
Head to the buzzy town of Puerto Vallarta, a spot that teams a modern atmosphere with traditional Mexican warmth and hospitality in stunning surroundings. Puerto Vallarta’s famous Banderas Bay is one of the biggest bays in the world, and it’s littered with historic architecture and luxury hotels.
Shopaholics should make a beeline for the El Malecon boardwalk, which is lined with market stalls and boutique shops. Afterwards, indulge in a delicious Mexican dinner or stop off at the popular Los Archos amphitheatre for live music. There are also plenty of dinner and cocktail spots that look out to the yachts bobbing in the picturesque marina. It’s the ideal viewpoint for a sophisticated night on the town.
Jaw-Dropping Natural Beauty and Wildlife on Pacific Coast holidays
While holidays in the Pacific Coast are known for their quality shopping and dining opportunities, the region also offers plenty in the realm of sublime natural beauty and wildlife too. The Pacific Coast is a top spot for whale watching. You can embark on a whale watching expedition to marvel at the magnificent ocean giants cruising in the waters.
Snorkellers can head to the sparkling blue waters of the Marieta Islands to duck beneath the waves. Under the ocean’s surface, keen explorers are treated to the sights of bright and colourful coral reefs and tropical fish species.
The Pacific Coast beaches are perfect for a relaxed day on golden sands, as well as sports enthusiasts. Banderas Bay is the most popular beach spot, especially for surfers who attempt to tackle the soaring blue waves.
