A new report published by Booking.com reveals which destinations in Mexico are all the rage with travelers this year.

Five regions in the country are predicted to be particularly popular this year according to an analysis of hotel and resort bookings, one of which is the popular resort town of Nuevo Vallarta in Nayarit.

Situated only a stone’s throw away from Puerto Vallarta, this idyllic beach destination is home to a vibrant lifestyle and is packed with top-rated resorts. The planned urban area is particularly trendy thanks to its golden beaches, which offer the perfect backdrop for sun-seeking travelers.

In addition to boasting some of the most exciting nightlife venues in the region, Nuevo Vallarta is emerging as a hub for luxury travel. Dotted with pricy – but extremely lavish – properties, including the 5-star eco-resort Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit, Nuevo Vallarta is a strong choice for travelers seeking relaxing stays amid the warmth of the Mexican Pacific. 

Nuevo Vallarta is also a popular hotspot for cultural and nature travelers. The state of Nayarit is known for its rich marine and land wildlife, with crocodiles, sharks, and majestic whales populating the area.

Travelers can visit the top-rated Sea Turtle Sanctuary, a wildlife refuge in the heart of Puerto Vallarta, where they can interact with and learn about the delicate marine wildlife that characterizes the region. 

Nuevo Vallarta is one of the many sub-destinations that are located just north of Puerto Vallarta. While the latter is a popular choice for cultural travelers, those seeking peace and quiet are better off opting for a resort destination along the Riviera Nayarit coastline.
