Luxury Tours to the Pacific Coast made for you
Go on an exclusive journey through Mexico's wild beauty
Discover the aquatic playground of Mexico's Pacific Coast
The Pacific Coast of Mexico invites you to explore a region packed full of breathtaking landscapes and vibrant culture, a quieter alternative to the busier Caribbean shores. From the allure of Punta Mita with its luxurious resorts and the charming Puerto Vallarta with its cobbled streets, exciting arts scene and enticing restaurants – you’ll get to experience a genuine immersion into all that Mexico has to offer. Head south and you’ll discover more beautiful resorts in Manzanillo, as well as expansive wildlife reserves in the secluded Cuixmala.
This sun-drenched coastline boasts stunning beaches that are excellent for swimming, surfing and a variety of other thrilling watersports. Dip beneath the surface of the crystal-clear waters around the Marieta Islands and discover a thriving marine ecosystem, or hang ten when you visit the surf town of Sayulita.
Beyond the waves, the Pacific Coast is a destination wonderfully suited to families – from curious little ones to adventurous teens. There is so much to discover. Depending on where you choose to stay, you can fill your time here with fun horseback rides, movie nights under the stars, storytelling around roaring beach bonfires and mouth-watering culinary explorations.
With easy connections from the rest of Mexico, the Pacific Coast makes for an excellent place to bring your luxury exploration of the country to a close. Take the time to immerse yourself in the local culture and natural beauty, enjoying experiences and activities chosen to suit your interests and pace.

When to visit
The best time to visit Mexico’s Pacific coast is generally during the dry season, from November to April, when you can expect sunny days and comfortable temperatures. It’s also great weather for enjoying the beaches and a wide variety of outdoor activities. The cooler months (December to February) are still fine for travelling, however it’s also the wet season and rains are common.
