Discover Puerto Vallarta
More than the starting point of your voyage, Puerto Vallarta is part of the Wind & Within experience.
Surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, lush mountains, and the protected waters of Banderas Bay, it offers a remarkable setting to slow down, reconnect, and experience the timeless wisdom of the sea.
A Destination Worth Discovering
Wind & Within is located in one of Mexico’s most celebrated coastal destinations.
Easy to Reach.
Easy to Stay.
Puerto Vallarta combines the natural beauty of the Pacific Ocean with vibrant culture, exceptional cuisine, and a relaxed coastal atmosphere.
With an international airport connecting the destination to major cities around the world, it’s easy to combine your Wind & Within voyage with a longer stay.
Make Your Voyage Part of a Longer Escape
Many Navigators choose to arrive a few days early or extend their stay afterward—to enjoy the beaches, explore the city’s neighborhoods, discover its culinary scene, or simply slow down and stay a little longer.
A Place to Slow Down
Puerto Vallarta’s relaxed pace, warm climate, natural beauty, and coastal setting make it a natural complement to the Wind & Within experience.
A Natural Setting for Sailing
Banderas Bay offers protected waters, reliable afternoon breezes, and a remarkable variety of coastal landscapes—creating an ideal setting for sailing and exploration.
Whether you’re stepping aboard for the first time or have years of sailing experience, the bay offers a safe, comfortable, and inspiring environment where every voyage feels different.
Where Mountains Meet the Sea
Towering mountains, tropical jungle, secluded beaches, hidden anchorages, and the open Pacific Ocean come together to create a setting that feels both peaceful and adventurous.
Throughout the year, guests may encounter dolphins, sea turtles, manta rays, and—during the winter months—majestic humpback whales that migrate into Banderas Bay.
Nature isn’t simply the backdrop to Wind & Within. It’s one of your greatest teachers.
Few places offer such a remarkable combination of landscapes.
