Resort Overview

Where the Sierra Madre
Meets the Pacific

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.

Location & Getting Here

South of Downtown,
Deep in Banderas Bay

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.

✈ Puerto Vallarta Airport (PVR)
~25 Minutes

Direct taxi or private transfer along the coastal highway — a smooth, scenic arrival for your guests.

🏘 Puerto Vallarta Centro
~15 Minutes

The Malecón boardwalk, old town restaurants, and vibrant galleries just a quick ride up the coast.

🌊 Mismaloya Beach
~10 Minutes

A sheltered cove with clear water and fishing boats — a natural half-day excursion for your guests.

⛵ Yelapa Village
~50 Minutes by Boat

A boat-access-only waterfall village tucked into the southern bay — one of Banderas Bay’s best day trips.

🤿 Sayulita
~1 Hour

The surf-and-cobblestone town north of the bay — ideal for guests who want a colorful beach village experience.

🌿 Jungle Excursions
~20 Minutes

Zip lines, ATV tours, and river swimming in the Sierra Madre foothills — the resort’s jungle trails begin on property.

Banderas Bay: Puerto Vallarta’s Most Scenic Coast

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.
