Looking for a family holiday that offers a slice of paradise, heaps of culture and lashings of fun? Then look no further than Puerto Vallarta. Nestled along the Pacific Ocean's Bahía de Banderas, this Mexican resort city is not just about stunning beaches and crystal clear waters, but a rich cultural history dating back to the Aztlán culture.

No matter your budget, Puerto 'Vallarta' or PVR as it's fondly called by tourists, has something for every family; from budget-friendly stays to luxury resorts, from bustling city centres to quiet, authentic neighbourhoods. So, ready to pack your bags and set off on your Mexican adventure with the family? Our guide will cover everything you need to know from when to visit Vallarta, what to do and where to say. Read on!

Things to do

From the sun-kissed beaches, historic spots, to magical sunsets and adventurous water activities - Puerto Vallarta packs a punch when it comes to family-friendly attractions. Here’s where to make lifelong memories with your family in sunny Vallarta.

Start your Vallarta voyage at Las Olas Altas Beach. Not only can you enjoy a leisurely day building sandcastles and playing in the tranquil waters, but you can also get your pulses racing with adventurous water sports such as parasailing, and jet-skiing.

Take a stroll in the Plaza de las Armas to soak up the local history and culture. Your kids will love the renowned Caballito tours which span multiple kid-friendly attractions and activities. Don't forget to savour local delicacies from the surrounding food joints.

Your family holiday would be incomplete without a visit to Lázaro Cárdenas Park. Located in Puerto Vallarta's Zona Romántica, the park boasts of mesmerising art installations and sculptures, including an ongoing art project by renowned artist Natasha Moraga.

The surge of luxury hotels and resorts that sprouted during the 1970s tourism boom still stand tall, providing families a wide variety of choices. Consider Casa Cúpula Luxury LGBT Boutique Hotel, and the all-inclusive Hilton Vallarta Riviera Resort for a stress-free stay.

When to visit

Perfectly poised by the Pacific, Puerto Vallarta is a fantastic year-round destination, but the best time for families to visit is between December and March. The weather during these months is cooler and drier, perfect for beach fun and exploring the city without the discomfort of the heat. Plus, you get the chance to espy the magnificent humpback whales.

If you’re opting for an off-season trip, consider the period between July and September. Sure, some hotels may be closed for minor repairs due to the frequent rains, but you can bag the best deals on accommodation and tours, while experiencing Vallarta without the general tourist rush. And remember Peppa Pig's wise words, "Everybody loves jumping up and down in muddy puddles!"
