The Best Places to Stay in Sayulita

For adults-only 

• An adults-only boutique stay surrounded by greenery, La Boheme is just a short walk from Sayulita’s beach and centre. Rooms mix natural textures with relaxed boho details. The pool, hot tub and handy cafe make it easy to slow down after a day exploring. Join a whale-watching trip in season and spot humpbacks breaching offshore in Banderas Bay.
• Just a short stroll from Sayulita’s beach, Avela Boutique Hotel is an intimate adults-only hotel that has a distinctly Mexican feel. Contemporary rooms feature warm, polished finishes, while the saltwater pool, rooftop-style terrace and small spa create plenty of space to unwind. There’s also a restaurant serving made-from-scratch Mexican dishes with a modern edge.
• Don Bonito sits near Sayulita’s North End beach, close enough to the centre for dinners and drinks but pleasantly removed from the hustle and bustle. Mid-century inspired rooms feel bright, airy and pared-back. Couples can unwind among tropical gardens, take a dip in the saltwater pool and kick back on the rooftop terrace. La Rustica adds casual dining, from pizza to Mexican favourites.
• Right in the heart of Sayulita, Distrito 88 puts the beach, town square and nightlife all within easy walking distance. Rooms have a relaxed 'jungle meets coast' look, while two pools, a tranquil spa and ocean views steal the show. The restaurant serves Mexican favourites, fresh seafood and mezcal-based cocktails. An easygoing and well placed coastal base.

For an active escape

• Right on Sayulita Beach, Villa Amor is a great launchpad for an active getaway. Its quirky villas have four-poster beds and colourful local details. The saltwater pool, yoga studio and beachfront restaurant keep things easy between surf sessions, jungle hikes and boat trips. Enjoy Sayulita's lively nightlife by dancing to live music at local bars, immersing yourself in the town's festive spirit.
• For an action-packed beach break, La Puesta puts Sayulita’s surf, sand and town centre within easy reach. Rooms are bright and contemporary, with Mexican artwork and coastal touches, while the infinity pool, waterslide and gym suit active travellers. The beachfront restaurant serves fresh seafood with sea views. For a fun day out, join a fishing trip on the Pacific and try your luck landing mahi-mahi, tuna or sailfish offshore.

Travel Information

• Sayulita is hot and humid in summer, with the wet season running from June to October and short, heavy afternoon showers common. 
• For the best weather, visit between November and April, when days are warm, sunny and generally dry. November is a particularly good choice, with fewer crowds than the peak winter months.
• Visitors can fly into Puerto Vallarta International Airport, around 37km from Sayulita, before taking a bus or taxi into town. The bus is a straightforward option and takes roughly 30–45 minutes.
• There are currently no direct flights from London to Puerto Vallarta, so travellers from the UK will need to change en route.
• For car hire prices, we recommend you visit our online partner Rentalcars.
