Perhaps you are in search of a vacation location that meets that human natural need for the gratifying warmth of sun and the enchantment of serenity. If you haven’t already met, I’d like to introduce to a place called Nuevo Vallarta located in the Mexico in the state of Nayarit. As a Mexican resort residential area, Neuvo Vallarta is situated right near the better known Puerto Vallarta.

Having the amazing fortune of spending part of my winter break (December) in the beautiful site of Nuevo Vallarta I have a taste of what you may experience in this stunning location.

Neuvo Vallarta acts as a keeper of an almost endless list of hidden treasures; it’s a location wherein you sense an atmosphere of complete serenity and isolation yet the landscape and overall character of the resort town keeps one feeling warmth and comfort. That warmth is in large part due to the almost consistently present sun nonetheless, the people that manage the array of resorts and other locals offer an undeniable spirit of hospitality.

The eye-catching city can emit an atmosphere of calm and comfort within the resort areas or a large sense of bustle. A bus-ride-away, downtown Puerto Vallarta is home to busy streets and souvenirs galore while also presenting a vast display of dazzling artwork including sand sculptures along its beach shore.  By inhabiting one the many resorts in Neuvo Vallarta a traveller can easily find that balance between serenity and business.

Nuevo Vallarta is a destination  emulating that of an exquisite piece of artwork; the sand that meets the crystal-esque waters is breathtaking and looks as if gold were sprinkled across its surface.  It’s a place wherein you can venture through its nooks and crannies and discover the essence of simplicity and beauty.

While there with my family we traveled from the resort area along the shore only to find a small town with Mexican culture at its core. Bucerias is a small fishing town also located in the state of Nayarit. The charming town is home to cobblestone streets, various street vendors and an infectious community feel.

While there my family and I had the pleasure of stepping in a small candy shop and meeting the owner plus her spunky canine companion Chocolate. While sharing pleasant conversation, sampling sweet treats and playing with the owner’s dog it’s easy to feel at home in this gem of a town.  Nuevo Vallarta is located so well that entering upon places of hustle and bustle like Puerto Vallarta or places of a joyful peace, one can find it in convenience.

At the end of the day, my family and I would retreat to our resort home at The Villa del Palmar Flamingos Beach Resort and Spa. Each morning I looked forward to looking out at perfectly warm weather and daily resort events.  While big news within the resort town isn’t as frequent as it is in bigger areas, the daily resort activities from volleyball to salsa dancing classes offer different excitement each day.

Nuevo Vallarta, while quaint, has standout qualities that are difficult to go unrecognized once you meet the resort town.   So go ahead, if you haven’t met already, find your vacation time, hotel reservations, plane tickets and luggage for your trip to Nuevo Vallarta; the town is a unique treasure that is likely to delight you.
