Located in the Mexican Pacific, the Marietas Islands emerge as natural jewels off the coast of Riviera Nayarit. Known for its unique biodiversity, this archipelago is a must-see for adventure and scenic beauty enthusiasts.

In this article, the Vallarta Lifestyles editorial team presents a series of images of this impressive place, which consists of 2 islands (known as Redonda Island and Larga Island), two islets, and several sandy rocky shoals.

As an additional fact, April 25, 2005, was declared as the Marietas Islands National Park.

Getting to this paradise is an exciting experience in itself. Whether from Punta de Mita and/or Puerto Vallarta, visitors can reach the islands by boat. During the trip, it is common to see birds and marine life, adding to the anticipation of what is to come.

The main attraction of the Marietas Islands is the famous “Hidden Beach” or “Playa del Amor.” It is a beach, precisely hidden, within a volcanic cave with turquoise waters, which is only accessible through an underwater tunnel. This paradisiacal refuge is an ideal place to relax, swim, and enjoy the spectacular surroundings.

The Marietas Islands in Riviera Nayarit are a natural treasure that will captivate you with its beauty and diversity. Whether exploring its marine depths, discovering its hidden beaches or simply enjoying its tranquility, this destination promises an unforgettable experience to all who venture to visit it.

“We have been advertising in Vallarta Lifestyles since the opening of our restaurant, and since then, we have kept a strong relationship. Due to its scope and distribution, the campaigns that we advertised regarding our different culinary projects have always been a success.

“In a meeting that we had with the magazine’s founder, he told us about his dream of making a quality and luxury publication because he was convinced that Puerto Vallarta needed that. For that reason, we have advertised in Vallarta Lifestyles since its beginnings. These days, our brand is very well positioned thanks to the strategic distribution of the magazine, as it helps us reach more potential customers which is a great benefit for us.”

“There are lots of reasons why we have advertised in Vallarta Lifestyles for several years. One of them is that they know pretty well their target, because they know who are their readers and they adapt as much as possible the content and material that is offered. For these reasons they have a growing number of readers which is very important for us. Another reason is that many people  —including us— think that the magazine has been as a serious publication since its beginnings. Historically, Vallarta Lifestyles has known how to capture the audience and has done it pretty well."
