Nuevo Mexico, Part 4

So far in this series featuring Riviera Nayarit and its surrounding areas, we've discussed the luxury of Nuevo Vallara, sleepy charm of Sayulita, and comfort and warmth of Punta Mita. Today we discuss a town that offers an even different draw for a destination wedding in Mexico -- who's laid back elegance makes this town the perfect place for a relaxed smaller destination wedding.

Rincón De Guayabitos


At the northern portion of the Riviera Nayarit region, you’ll find the small town of Rincón de Guayabitos, where streets offer sweeping views of the bay below. The town is lined with adobe houses painted a plethora of colors, most of which have cylindrical towers, all of which come together to make a picturesque Mexican setting. The town has a sort of relaxed feel and elegance that is unique to the area, and this atmosphere is epitomized at the Villa Corona del Mar, a boutique bed and breakfast along the Bay of Jaltemba.

If you're having a small to mid-size destination wedding, and looking for the perfect place with an intimate atmosphere in a gorgeous setting, this just may be the spot for you!

Nuevo Vallarta: Part 3

Punta Mita

In the last of our 4 part series featuring different destinations in the Riviera Nayarit area -- all of which possess different draws for a destination wedding -- we talked about the rustic charm of sleepy Sayulita. In contrast, the 1,500-acre gated community of Punta Mita feels a world away. If your idea of a perfect honeymoon is to enjoy a luxurious and relaxing stay in one of the friendliest and most beautiful destinations imaginable, consider the 4 Seasons Punta Mita for your grandiose destination wedding. And as with all of the Four Seasons properties, this one manages to be both grand and friendly, according to its feature in Bridal Guide:

From the moment you arrive, everyone greets you by name. An enormous thatched-roof, marble-floored palapa serves as the lobby, affording breathtaking views of the beach and bay beyond, and winding lanes weave through the lush grounds. The property includes a private Jack Nicklaus-designed championship golf course, tennis courts and an adults-only pool complex with private cabanas and a full bar. A 55-foot private yacht is available for day trips and sunset cruises.

Nuevo Mexico, Part 1

The Pacific Coast of Mexico is looking better than ever, and becoming an increasingly popular destination for weddings and honeymoons. Although it's Mexico's newest resort region, Riviera Nayarit remains as old-world as ever, adding significantly to its charm. Over the next few days, I will be featuring a different destination in the area each day, starting with the beautiful Nuevo Vallarta!

Nuevo Vallarta

The most visited and developed town in the area, Nuevo Vallarta offers a wealth of luxurious and spectacular sights, beginning at the shimmering waters off the crescent-shaped Banderas Bay. This residential-resort community is home to luxury villas and estates, and lush tropical gardens that line the winding canals.

If you're looking for a hotel, the luxe all-inclusive Vallarta Palace Resort offers some great touches. In addition to the complimentary mini bar featuring top-shelf liquors. Unheard of! Furthermore, all rooms have a double Jacuzzi which is perfect for a couple on their honeymoon or at their wedding hotel. Four restaurants offer a choice of Brazilian, Asian, Mexican or Italian cuisine, and you can catch a different show in the seaside amphitheater nearly every night.
