Sandwiched between the magnificent Sierra Madre mountains and the sparkling Pacific Ocean, Mexico’s Riviera Nayarit is beach holiday heaven.
200 miles of pristine Pacific coastline provide an effortlessly spectacular backdrop for holidays here – think turquoise waters, golden beaches, tropical flora and clear blue skies as far as the eye can see.
The climate here is pleasant year-round, with an average annual temperature of 25°. Whether you’re here to explore Mexican culture or are keen to simply soak up the rays and enjoy some relaxation, Riviera Nayarit will prove to be the perfect location. During the winter months, you might be lucky enough to spot humpback whales arriving at Banderas Bay to give birth, or take a dip in the sea alongside dolphins and more marine life. This is also a superb place for watersports, world-class golf holidays, and even jungle adventures like ziplining and ATV tours.
