Marina Vallarta Vacation Rentals

Just 15 minutes from downtown Puerto Vallarta, the swanky resort of Marina Vallarta was built in 1986 by the Guitron brothers. Today, it's known for its atmospheric boardwalk and stunning 18-hole championship golf course, and the marina itself. Discover it with Marina Vallarta vacation rentals.

Sunset Drinks on the Boardwalk and Delicious Meals

Begin the day with fresh bagels, frappés, and deli sandwiches at The Coffee Cup, a favourite among early-morning anglers. The Marina Boardwalk is lined with cafés, bakeries, and ice-cream kiosks, all good spots to indulge in people watching.

For 360-degree vistas and sublime sunsets, try El Faro Bar, which crowns the town's 110-feet high lighthouse. Meanwhile, Plaza Marina houses fast food restaurants and a rotisserie. Take home organic nuts, jams, cheeses and fruits from the popular Old Town Farmer's Market in Puerto Vallarta.

Set to Sea With Pirate Tours and Jungle Excursions

A popular choice is the pirate tour, where kids can hop aboard a Spanish galleon and brandish their swords and eye patches. They'll also love the family-friendly excursions through lush jungles and rivers offered by Moreno's Horseback Riding.

The young ones can play and snorkel away at Playa las Gemalas, while Las Animas Adventure Park –accessible only by boat – proposes zip lining, rock climbing, and rope bridges, among other diversions.

Things to do in Marina Vallarta: Golfing and Waterside Fun

Marina Vallarta's golf courses, though postcard-perfect, are best seen firsthand. The dramatic Tom Weiskopf Golf Course boasts a challenging design interspersed with deep ravines, jungles, and scenic creeks. If you fancy an encounter with iguanas, alligators, or sea geese while teeing off, the Joe Finger-designed Marina Vallarta Club won't disappoint.

Highlyt recommended are the half-day whale-watching excursions through the Bay of Banderas. Landlubbers, meanwhile, can steer ATVs through Puerto Vallarta's rugged jungle, rivers, and outlying villages into the Sierra Madre Mountains.
