Puerto Vallarta Malecon at night

For many people, their vacations seem not to be complete if they can’t go out every night and enjoy what they consider a real vacation with their couple, family or friends.

The good news is that Puerto Vallarta is a beach destination where you actually can go out every night and have fun at a variety of places where all tastes in music and lifestyle can be satisfied.

List of recommended options.

In Vallarta around 11 PM, after having enjoyed a day full of sun, sand and swimming at the beach or by the pool, and a quiet evening enjoying the delicious local or international dishes offered by the many restaurants in this beautiful harbor, the real action begins once the day draws to an end.

All sorts of bars, discos, live music, nightclubs, and many others, open their doors to the visitors who are on vacation or the locals (national and foreigners) already living in Puerto Vallarta, so they can enjoy the nightlife that they long for and can make their holidays complete.

The usual starting point is the famous Malecon, mainly because it is here that some of the best bars and nightclubs are found, many have come and gone, but they are always replaced with new options.

The refurbished seaside promenade, known locally as “el malecón”, is located beside the beach and is the heart of the fun of a night in Vallarta. It has a very particular atmosphere, very lively and crowded, which invites young and old to continue enjoying and partying all night.

Undoubtedly, one of the most frequently visited clubs during the evening is ex-Christine and ex-XTINE disco close to the Hotel Krystal, this disco is not on the Malecon, it’s now called Monkey Business Vallarta.
