Following the gradual reopening of several businesses in Vallarta, we’re getting ready to open public spaces starting June 15.

The health sector is currently working with the municipal government to determine the new sanitary protocols that guarantee the safety of residents and visitors that come to beaches, sport complexes, parks, shopping malls, bars, night clubs and the Malecon.

On May 25th of 2020, a part of the Malecon was reopened, so people could go to restaurants, banks and drugstores that are located between Hotel Rosita and El Faro, from 8:00am to 10:00pm. Similarly, on June 5th 2020 the commercial reactivation of the second section of the Malecon started (from Los Arcos to the bridge of Río Cuale), with the same schedule.

Our destination is opening its doors and it’s getting ready to welcome you while keeping you safe.
