Which Is Better Punta Mita Or Puerto Vallarta?

In the end, the choice comes down to what you really want from your vacation. For a romantic and peaceful getaway, villas in Punta Mita are exquisite, while larger groups, families, and those looking to get a little wild will probably find the villas in Puerto Vallarta more to their liking. Punta Mita isn't so much a town or city as Puerto Vallarta. Punta Mita is a small area that houses a couple of ultra-luxurious hotels.

There are quite a few options, but I recommend staying in St. Regis Punta Mita and Four Seasons Punta Mita. Overlooking Punta Mita Pier and Banderas Bay, the club has a magnificent saltwater pool, a stately reception lounge, wooden poolside cabanas, and a beachside restaurant at Sufito Cevicheria Bar.

At Punta Mita Beach you'll find a couple of local spas that have placed massage tables under some umbrellas. We can help you with that, Puerto Vallarta Airport Transfers offers a variety of services from taxi transportation, standard transportation, van and Sprinter transportation, and of course luxury services to get to Nayarit Punta Mita. Last month, the club organized the first Punta Mita Carnival, a new annual tradition that celebrates the colors, culture and history of Mexico with a golf cart parade, a masquerade ball and a beach party for the whole family. 

If you're an intermediate or more advanced surfer, this is one of the best breaks in the area, as the city's main beach, Playa Punta Mita tends to have much smaller waves, shallow waters and good low tide conditions, perfect for beginners. The answer is YES, Punta de Mita is said to be one of the safest places you can visit where relaxation awaits you. There are many things to do in Punta Mita that will keep the adventurous soul in you busy or provide another excuse to put your feet up and relax. In the city, you'll find the nearby Punta Mita Beach and, further afield, the beaches of Playa Careyeros and El Anclote, which are also worth a visit.

With an average of 345 days of sunshine per year, Punta Mita has one of the most pleasant climates in the world. Punta Mita is a large peninsula in Nayarit, Mexico, which marks the northern part of Banderas Bay overlooking the Pacific Ocean with the Sierra Madre Mountains behind it. While artistic leisure and indulgent pampering are the cornerstones of the Punta Mita experience, Club Punta Mita strives to foster an active community environment that brings members and visitors together in fun, natural environments. In general, Punta Mita is the most exclusive part of Banderas Bay and this is where you'll find the most exclusive resorts with private beaches, as well as delicious restaurants anywhere in Mexico.

Although they are very close to each other, Puerto Vallarta and Punta Mita are very different places with their own unique charm.
