This latest installment celebrates creative diversity, culinary excellence, living culture, and the initiatives making a positive impact across the region.
In Places to Be Seen, the magazine maps out the current “must-visit” spaces that are setting trends and defining the local identity. In this section, Vallarta Lifestyles showcases the unique concepts of Cocomachete, Fui al Mar, The Bike Guy, Savia Agave Niche, Lindas Café & Flores, Tai 38, and Santo Coyote—places that, through various lenses, reflect the social, culinary, and creative energy of the destination.
The region’s cultural pulse is on full display in Venues, Artists & Shows with the featured article Showbiz in Our Region: An Evolving Scene. This piece analyzes the growth and diversification of the local theater scene, highlighting ACT2PV, The Palm Cabaret and Bar, Coco Cabaret, and Teatro Vallarta as the venues solidifying the region as a hub for the performing arts and high-level entertainment.
The social heart of this edition lies in the Special Feature titled Beyond Philanthropy: 7 Associations Driving Significant Impact in the Destination. This report recognizes the vital work of Nado por las Ballenas, Observatorio de Aves de San Pancho, Circo de los Niños, Visión 33, Vallarta Skate Project, Limpia tu Mar, and Estudiantes Conservando la Naturaleza—non-profits that are transforming their environment through community action, education, and conservation.
In the Spotlight, we feature the concept and cuisine of Mauka, an oceanfront restaurant led by chefs Josué Martínez and Sebastián Renner, where technique and creative freedom converge into an authentic dining experience.
The VL Experiences section invites readers to experience the destination from the inside out with Behind the Jigger: A Cocktail Class with Mexican Spirits. This journey, guided by the talented team at OSTO Room, explores mixology as both a cultural and sensory expression.
