NYE Puerto Vallarta
Here is your complete guide to New Year’s Eve 2026 in Puerto Vallarta, featuring LGBTQ+ events, dinners, beach parties, drag shows and fireworks.
Beginning in the second half of January, Puerto Vallarta will serve as the official departure point for a new weekend tourism route to the Islas Marías, a federally protected archipelago recently opened to visitors. The islands, located about 130 kilometers off the coast of Nayarit, are known for their biodiversity and their history as a former penal colony.
Puerto Vallarta is expanding its maritime tourism offerings with two new attractions scheduled to launch in early 2026, adding long-distance eco-tourism and family-oriented entertainment to the resort city’s lineup on Mexico’s Pacific coast.

mexicana airplane
Mexicana de Aviación begins operations by expanding its regional connectivity from Puerto Vallarta International Airport to Guadalajara International Airport, creating an air bridge between these two destinations, with two weekly frequencies, starting on November 8, 2024, in response to the growing demand for seats on this route, thus offering greater connectivity with the state of Jalisco.

Nestled on the lively Calles Pilitas and Amapas, this adult-only facility is set to redefine the concept of hostelling for the LGBTQI+ community.
Ezeqkiel Lozano—the entrepreneur behind Vallarta Experiences
Tucked between Sayulita and San Pancho, about forty-five kilometers north of Puerto Vallarta, is Playa Malpaso, a beach known for its stunning beauty and rich cultural folklore. Locals believe it once was a sacred space for native Indians, where they’d witnessed a deer jumping into the fire, symbolizing the meeting of death and new life.
