Hotel Riu Vallarta is a family-friendly, all-inclusive beachfront resort located in Nuevo Vallarta on Mexico’s beautiful Riviera Nayarit. Set along the golden sands of Banderas Bay and backed by the landscapes of Mexico’s Pacific coast, the resort combines a relaxed beachfront setting with Riu’s lively activities and entertainment, making it an appealing choice for destination weddings, honeymoons, family vacations, and multigenerational group travel. Guests can enjoy contemporary accommodations, multiple swimming pools, international dining, bars and lounges, daytime activities, evening entertainment, water sports, fitness facilities, and treatments at Renova Spa. Families will appreciate children’s programming, dedicated pools, and access to Splash Water World at the neighbouring Riu Jalisco, while couples can enjoy spa time, leisurely beach days, dining, and colourful Pacific sunsets. Couples planning a destination wedding at Riu Vallarta can celebrate against the scenic backdrop of Banderas Bay while giving family and friends an easy all-inclusive vacation experience with activities for a variety of ages.
Riu Vallarta is particularly appealing for wedding groups and families who want a Pacific coast alternative to Cancun and the Riviera Maya. Days can be spent walking along the broad beach, relaxing around the pools, enjoying resort activities, or taking the kids to the nearby water park before gathering for dinner and entertainment. Guests looking to explore beyond the resort can discover the cobblestone streets and restaurants of Puerto Vallarta, visit the surf town of Sayulita, sail across Banderas Bay, play golf, or go whale watching during the winter season. The region’s combination of mountains, ocean, and spectacular sunsets also creates a distinctive backdrop for wedding celebrations and honeymoon photography. Combining family-friendly amenities, all-inclusive convenience, a beautiful Pacific beachfront location, and access to the attractions of both Riviera Nayarit and Puerto Vallarta, Riu Vallarta is an excellent choice for destination weddings, honeymoons, family vacations, and group celebrations in Mexico.
