Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Adults Only $$$

Hotel Riu Palace Pacifico is an adults-only, all-inclusive beachfront resort located in Nuevo Vallarta on Mexico’s beautiful Riviera Nayarit. Set along a wide stretch of golden sand overlooking Banderas Bay and the Pacific Ocean, this elegant resort is a strong choice for destination weddings, honeymoons, anniversaries, couples’ getaways, and adults-only group travel. Following an extensive renovation, Riu Palace Pacifico offers a refreshed contemporary experience with stylish accommodations, multiple swimming pools, international dining, bars and lounges, daytime activities, evening entertainment, fitness facilities, water sports, and treatments at Renova Spa. Its adults-only atmosphere makes it particularly appealing to couples and wedding groups seeking a more relaxed environment without sacrificing entertainment or all-inclusive convenience. Couples planning a destination wedding at Riu Palace Pacifico can celebrate against a dramatic Pacific backdrop, with palm-lined beaches, ocean views, and colourful sunsets creating memorable scenery for ceremonies, receptions, and wedding photography.

Riu Palace Pacifico offers a different experience from Mexico’s Caribbean resorts, replacing turquoise Caribbean horizons with the mountains, golden beaches, and spectacular sunsets of Banderas Bay. Couples can spend their mornings walking along the beach, relax beside the pools, enjoy spa treatments, try water activities, or simply unwind together beneath the Pacific sun. Guests looking for more energy can take advantage of entertainment and access to selected facilities at neighbouring Riu properties, while Puerto Vallarta and the Riviera Nayarit provide plenty to explore beyond the resort. Wedding and honeymoon itineraries can include sailing on Banderas Bay, whale watching in season, visits to Sayulita, shopping and dining in Puerto Vallarta, golf, or excursions into the surrounding Sierra Madre landscapes. Combining an adults-only atmosphere, renovated accommodations, all-inclusive amenities, a beautiful Pacific beach, and easy access to Riviera Nayarit experiences, Riu Palace Pacifico is an excellent choice for destination weddings, honeymoons, romantic escapes, and adults-only Mexico vacations.
