Costalegre is a spectacular destination offering more than 280 kilometers of nearly untouched beaches, charming seaside towns, and world-class resorts nestled within tropical jungle landscapes. Together, they create the perfect setting to relax, reconnect with nature, and escape the stress and constant pace of urban life.
If you are searching for a unique beach getaway that offers authentic experiences and stunning oceanfront accommodations, here are four great reasons to choose Costalegre for your next vacation:
1. Easy Access.
Costalegre is divided into six main regions: Cabo Corrientes, Costa Majahuas, Bahía de Chamela, Careyes, Bahía de Tenacatita, and Bahía de Navidad. The first three, located farther north, are easily reached by flying into Puerto Vallarta International Airport (with frequent flights from Mexico City) and then taking ground transportation, which will bring travelers to their hotel in just a few hours.
For Careyes, Bahía de Tenacatita, and Bahía de Navidad, which are closer to the state of Colima, the best option is to fly into Manzanillo International Airport and continue by road to the selected property.
2. Memorable Destinations.
Our recommendations in Costalegre include Melaque (in Bahía de Navidad), a coastal town renowned for its relaxed atmosphere, warm hospitality, and natural beauty. Its beaches and traditional charm make it the perfect place to disconnect from everyday routines and enjoy the slow pace of seaside life. It also boasts an excellent beach for surfing.
Another must-visit destination is Playa Tenacatita (in Bahía de Tenacatita), known for its long stretch of sand and warm waters, making it ideal for family outings. It is considered a favorite among locals and an outstanding place to enjoy a perfect day of sunshine, fresh seafood cuisine, and an unparalleled connection with nature.
3. Immersive Nature Experiences.
One of Costalegre’s greatest distinguishing features is its commitment to sustainable tourism, promoting ecosystem conservation and the development of local communities. This allows visitors to enjoy a responsible, enriching, and truly immersive travel experience.
Adventure seekers and ecotourism enthusiasts can explore attractions ranging from the breathtaking Yelapa Waterfalls—a dreamlike setting surrounded by lush vegetation and crystal-clear waters—to the La Manzanilla Crocodile Sanctuary, where visitors can learn more about these fascinating reptiles and support conservation efforts led by local specialists.
4. World-Class Hospitality.
Among our favorite hotels in Costalegre is Four Seasons Resort Tamarindo, an extraordinary ultra-luxury property located within a private nature reserve in Bahía de Navidad. The resort features a private beach and a celebrated golf course.
Another standout is Las Alamandas, located in the Careyes area. Set within an 800-hectare nature reserve, it offers 18 elegant villas surrounded by jungle landscapes and four secluded white-sand beaches, ideal for peaceful walks and for admiring the unforgettable sunsets that define Mexico’s Pacific coast.
