Hotels in Riviera Nayarit, Mexico

Riviera Nayarit stretches along Mexico's Pacific coast, famous for its surf-friendly beaches and lush jungle backdrop. The climate stays warm year-round, with winter temperatures around 77°F (25°C) perfect for catching waves at Sayulita or spotting humpback whales in Banderas Bay, while summer rains (around 86°F/30°C) bring greener hills and cheaper stays in laid-back towns like San Pancho. If you want luxury, head to Punta Mita for golf and snorkeling; if you're on a budget, stick to the sleepy fishing villages where you can hike to hidden waterfalls and eat fresh ceviche for under $5.
