Riviera Nayarit Mexico colorful sign

Riviera Nayarit Mexico. This phrase evokes a sense of paradise lost. The Riviera Nayarit is located just minutes north of Puerto Vallarta’s International Airport, and is the newest addition to Mexico’s beach destinations, with 200 miles of nearly virgin pacific coastline dotted with dozens of seaside coastal towns (pueblos). Come for a vacation in Nayarit and enjoy lush rain forests, densely covered mountain peaks, turtle and bird sanctuaries, soft sands of white and gold, palm-lined beaches, local Mexican hospitality and luxurious beach resort hotel lodgings.
