A Garza Blanca Puerto Vallarta destination wedding puts you on 85 acres of lush tropical jungle and private beachfront south of downtown Puerto Vallarta — where the Sierra Madre mountains drop directly into the luminous blue waters of Banderas Bay. The setting is genuinely spectacular, and the resort is built to match it.
Garza Blanca is an optional all-inclusive property, meaning guests can choose their experience. The 156 suites are spacious, the service ratios are high, and the wedding venue selection spans outdoor oceanfront spaces, a dramatic jungle deck, a vibrant town square, and a grand indoor Red Room with air conditioning and chandeliers. Nine distinct venues cover every guest count and every style.
The resort holds a AAA Four Diamond Award and consistently ranks among the top hotels in Puerto Vallarta. For couples who want a wedding that feels like an escape — not an event — Garza Blanca delivers the right combination of natural beauty and refined hospitality. 10kWedding will handle your group booking so you can simply arrive and celebrate.

Garza Blanca sits at Kilometer 7.5 on the coastal highway south of Puerto Vallarta, tucked between the Pacific and the Sierra Madre foothills. The location feels removed from the city — surrounded by jungle and ocean — while remaining a short, straightforward drive from Puerto Vallarta International Airport.
Guests flying from the U.S. reach PVR on direct flights from dozens of cities. The resort is roughly 25 minutes from the terminal, making arrivals easy to coordinate. The historic centro of Puerto Vallarta and its restaurants, galleries, and nightlife are about 15 minutes by car.
Direct taxi or private transfer along the coastal highway — a smooth, scenic arrival for your guests.
The Malecón boardwalk, old town restaurants, and vibrant galleries just a quick ride up the coast.
A sheltered cove with clear water and fishing boats — a natural half-day excursion for your guests.
A boat-access-only waterfall village tucked into the southern bay — one of Banderas Bay’s best day trips.
The surf-and-cobblestone town north of the bay — ideal for guests who want a colorful beach village experience.
Zip lines, ATV tours, and river swimming in the Sierra Madre foothills — the resort’s jungle trails begin on property.
The stretch of Banderas Bay south of Puerto Vallarta is defined by dramatic geography — jungle mountains tumbling into the Pacific, small coves with clear water, and fishing villages that have kept their character despite the region’s growth. Garza Blanca sits at the center of this coastline.
The resort’s 85-acre property spans from beach level up into the jungle canopy, which is how you end up with venues as different as an oceanfront ceremony beach, a hilltop forum with panoramic bay views, and intimate garden decks shaded by tropical palms. Each setting uses the natural landscape rather than working against it.
For wedding groups, the location delivers a genuine sense of place — guests arrive knowing they’ve come somewhere specific, not just another beachfront all-inclusive. The combination of natural beauty, authentic Mexican town access, and resort luxury makes it one of the most well-rounded wedding destinations on the Pacific coast.
Three infinity pools, world-class spa, and 85 acres of jungle-to-beach terrain — everything your Garza Blanca destination wedding guests need for an exceptional week on Banderas Bay.
Blanca Blue (award-winning oceanfront gourmet), Bocados Steak House (sharing plates and fine wine), Karuma the Art of Grill (international steakhouse), Aquazul (poolside with a twist), plus two snack bars for casual bites throughout the day.
Three temperature-controlled pools with jacuzzis and dedicated pool concierge, each with its own character — from the main oceanfront infinity pool to quieter retreat pools within the jungle property.
One of Puerto Vallarta’s leading spa facilities — featuring a signature hydrotherapy circuit with panoramic Banderas Bay views, couples treatment rooms, bridal services, yoga studio, and a full wellness zone with ocean and jungle views.
A one-of-a-kind boutique village on the property with nine specialty shops — sustainable fashion, local jewelry, artisan crafts, ceramics, a deli and coffee shop, weekly farmers market, art walk, and a whimsical family carousel.
Kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, snorkeling, and beach volleyball all included in the all-inclusive plan. The private beach gives guests direct Pacific access without leaving the property.
Dedicated hiking trails through the resort’s 85 acres of lush tropical jungle terrain. Oceanview gym with the latest equipment. Yoga classes, tennis, and squash courts round out the active programming.
Supervised programming for children included with your stay — giving parents genuine downtime while the youngest guests have their own structured fun. Culinary experiences and outdoor games available to all ages.
Three bars throughout the property, with cocktails, wine, and premium spirits available. The optional all-inclusive plan covers dining at Aquazul, Blanca Blue, and Bocados, plus drinks at all bars — with a 30% reception discount for AI guests staying 3+ nights.
Resort amenities are for informational purposes only and subject to change without notice. Most amenities are included with your stay under the all-inclusive plan; however, some experiences and services carry an additional charge. Hours, activity availability, and restaurant service may vary by season and resort policy.
All 156 suites at Garza Blanca Puerto Vallarta feature private balconies or terraces with jungle or ocean views, Nespresso machines, American and Nespresso coffee makers, refreshment centers stocked daily, and bathrobes and slippers throughout your stay.

Generous one-bedroom layout with a separate living and dining area, furnished private terrace, and king bed. Well suited for couples or the wedding party looking for more space than a standard room.
Step up in views and terrace space — the Junior Panoramic Suite delivers wide Banderas Bay sightlines from a generous private terrace. King bed, full bathroom, and the resort’s signature suite finishes throughout.
Two full bedrooms with panoramic bay views and a shared terrace — the go-to configuration for families or two couples traveling together. Each bedroom has its own king bed and full bathroom access.
Designed for couples seeking an elevated experience — oversized soaking tub, sweeping Pacific views, and a furnished private terrace. The natural choice for the couple on their wedding stay.
Garza Blanca’s largest suite configuration — three full bedrooms with panoramic Banderas Bay views, expansive shared living space, and multiple terraces. Ideal for VIP guests or larger family groups.
Four restaurants and two snack bars, all drawing on local seasonal ingredients alongside global culinary expertise. The all-inclusive plan covers Aquazul, Blanca Blue, and Bocados.
Award-winning contemporary restaurant devoted to the culinary arts — avant-garde cuisine, cutting-edge technique, and high-quality local products. The standout dining experience on the property, with full Pacific views.
Exquisite choices designed for sharing or a full course experience. Dishes pair naturally with fine wine, craft beer, or cocktails — a social table that fits well for larger groups traveling together.
A sophisticated take on classic steakhouse and grill favorites with an international edge. Hand-crafted specialty cocktails by trained mixologists, and a spectacular ocean view that makes it a natural evening anchor for the group.
Poolside classics — burgers, salads, guacamole, ceviche — elevated with a sophisticated twist. An extensive and versatile menu that makes lunch the most effortless part of the day for your guests.
Three bars throughout the property serve top-shelf spirits, tropical cocktails, and wine. The TierraLuna village also features a deli and coffee shop for guests exploring the boutique village grounds.
