Nuevo Vallarta is a planned resort community on the Nayarit side of the Bay of Banderas, and it is built around canals, a marina and a long beach. Aparthotels and serviced apartments in Nuevo Vallarta are a natural fit: families get a separate living area and kitchen, groups can share a unit, and longer winter stays are more comfortable with space to cook and spread out. If you are comparing formats, our guide to aparthotels versus hotels sets out the differences.

Where to stay in Nuevo Vallarta
Marina
- boats and canals
- families
- golf and marina
Wikipedia describes the community's marina development as a 3,000-slip marina with a PADI dive centre, and the canals lined with tropical gardens are one of the area's defining features. Staying near the waterways suits travellers who want boats and calm water. Wikivoyage places the marina at the southern end of the community.

Bucerías
- restaurants
- town life
- day trips
Wikivoyage calls Bucerías a beach town popular with expats. It lies north of Nuevo Nayarit along the Riviera Nayarit coast and offers a traditional town square and restaurants for evenings out. See our Bucerías page for more on staying there.
Getting around Nuevo Vallarta
Wikipedia says the community is around 15 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta's airport by car, which makes airport transfers short. Wikivoyage describes Puerto Vallarta airport (PVR) as the largest regional option, with frequent flights to major Mexican airports and US cities, and explains that local buses leave from the Walmart stop in Puerto Vallarta, where you look for the bus marked Nuevo Vallarta.
Wikivoyage also says that for Bucerías and Punta Mita you look for the bus with Punta Mita in the windshield. The community is laid out as a resort development along the canals and beach, so check on the map how far a particular apartment is from the beach, marina and shops before you book. Confirm current bus routes locally, as they can change.
Living in Nuevo Vallarta for longer
Wikipedia says the area experiences conditions similar to Puerto Vallarta, with an annual average temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. For a longer stay, the practical priorities are a full kitchen, laundry facilities and a location you are happy with for several weeks, whether by the marina or near the beach.
For a more local, town feel, nearby Bucerías is the obvious neighbour: Wikipedia says it has a main square, a church and many services for visiting foreigners. If you need to work remotely, ask the host about internet before booking.
When to visit Nuevo Vallarta
Wikipedia gives an annual average temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, with summer highs that can reach 32 degrees, and says the mountains give the area some protection against hurricanes. Wikivoyage says the best time of year to travel to Nayarit is January to May, the dry season.
The Riviera Nayarit tourism board says humpback whales can be seen in the Bay of Banderas from December through March, which overlaps with the busiest winter weeks.
Wikipedia describes the community as a residential-resort development with luxury villas and estates on canals lined with tropical gardens, each with private docking piers, and resort amenities along more than five miles of white sandy beach. In July 2022 the area was officially renamed Nuevo Nayarit, although Nuevo Vallarta is still the name most visitors search for. It is close to Puerto Vallarta and its airport.
