Aside from the beautiful landscapes and the absolutely stunning tropical scenery, tourists also come to Puerto Vallarta to experience the party atmosphere. Vacation is all about the good life, and what better way to celebrate good times than with a few cocktails, great music and somewhere to dance until you drop in the wee hours of the morning?
Party Scene in Puerto Vallarta
Despite its quaint appeal during the day and classy early evening dining, Puerto Vallarta’s party scene comes alive after midnight. There are many activities to keep your night busy and fun; take a look below at the top choices to get you in the party mood.
Nightlife in Puerto Vallarta wouldn’t be complete without experiencing the Malecon after dark. This mile long stretch of tourist attractions is a colorful place to start on your night out. Favorites include the La Vaquita, Mandala and the Zoo nightclubs, as well as the chance to dance salsa at La Bodeguita del Medio or drink mezcal and margaritas at the famed Bar Morelos. All of these venues are in near proximity to each other making one incredible bar-hopping escapade.
For the Wild at Heart
Strana and La Santa tend to attract the younger crowd looking for the best sound system and the wildest parties. These nightclubs are located in the hotel zone and require you to leave your flip flops behind and put your heels on for a night of dancing and socializing.
A Relaxing Way to Call it a Day
For the less adventurous of you, before dark the Malecon is a great place to enjoy a quiet drink, watch the world go by and bask in the last rays of the sun. Likewise, you might want to walk with an ice-cream or choose from one of the many food stands that await you at the end of the Malecon.
Tours
There are also nightly tours that offer wild adventures and an extraordinary party scene like the Marigalante Pirate Ship tour and the Rhythms of the Night experience. These tours included drinks, three course meals, shows and dancing.
