Top 10 Puerto Vallarta Resorts: Vallarta Gardens Resort & Spa

Our No. 6 pick is Puerto Vallarta’s newest luxury resort – and chances are this beachfront luxury retreat will quickly scale the ranks to join Mexico’s finest. For those who hold privacy at a premium, you won’t find a more secluded escape than Vallarta Gardens Resort and Spa!

Vallarta Gardens Resort is the pinnacle of refined tastes surrounded by naturally exotic scenery. Here, lush rainforest greenery and lofty Sierra Madre peaks give way to endless stretches of golden sand and aquamarine waters. Just past the gates of this private resort community, gently swaying palm fronds usher you into a magical, mystical place on Mexico’s Pacific Coast. In place of standard resort rooms, stunning three- and four-bedroom luxury villas rest on a prime stretch of Pacific Ocean real estate. Each Vallarta Gardens villa includes an incomparable sampling of amenities, from sliding doors that reveal plunge pools to staircases that lead to a rooftop Jacuzzi.

With Mexico’s most breathtaking bay as your backyard, there’s no end to the aquatic adventures you’ll have on your Puerto Vallarta vacation. Cruise Banderas Bay’s sparkling waters atop a jet ski or sea kayak, then challenge a friend to a match on the Vallarta Gardens tennis court. And La Palma’s fish tacos, shrimp fajitas and traditional Mexican desserts – flan, anyone? – make for a delicious post-play snack!
