Its proximity to Puerto Vallarta also allows easy access to urban amenities while enjoying a peaceful retreat.

Travel Tips

The best time to visit Mismaloya is from November to April when the weather is dry and pleasant. Pack lightweight clothing, swimwear, sun protection, insect repellent, and comfortable shoes for hiking. Respect local customs by dressing modestly when away from the beach and greeting locals politely. Safety is generally good, but standard travel precautions apply, such as securing valuables and avoiding isolated areas at night. Cash in Mexican pesos is preferred, though many places accept credit cards. ATMs are available but can be limited in smaller shops.
