Many bachelorette parties consider Cabo San Lucas, Cancun & Tulum for their weekend celebrations, but we recommend the destinations below for the bride looking for a special experience unlike any other you have seen before. This list is different from the standard Mexico Bachelorette Party recommendation list, and provides you with the most unique and top destinations to celebrate the bride’s big weekend. If you are wondering where are the best places in Mexico for bachelorette party, then this list of bachelorette party places to go to is for you!
San Pancho and Sayulita Bachelorette Party
San Pancho and Sayulita Nayarit are top destinations for a unique & vibrant bachelorette party. These sister towns are small beach towns with a variety of fun and authentic experiences for the group. They are only a 45 minute drive from Puerto Vallarta International Airport and offer a great alternative to the city vibes of PV. Not only are there several stunning beaches to visit nearby, but they offer wellness focused activities, cultural experiences, tasty food, and are affordable! We may be biased- but these are our favorite recommendations on this list. Want to learn more about a Sayulita Bachelorette Party? Here is our Ultimate Guide for a Sayulita Bachelorette Party.
Who is a Sayulita and San Pancho Bachelorette Party for?
For the bride looking for an authentic small Mexico beach town vibe. The bride that wants unique experiences nearby but also tasty restaurants, trendy shops and beautiful beaches.
Tulum Bachelorette Party vs. Sayulita Bachelorette Party
Tulum is popular for a reason; it is a stunning beach town with authentic vibes. More recently it has become an overcrowded and expensive destination, losing much of the charm that attracted travelers there in the past. Enter Sayulita and San Pancho (Sayulita is rumored to be the next Tulum- check it out before it is too late!) – these two towns offer beautiful beaches, even some secret spots! They have authentic charm and are safe to wander around. Sayulita and San Pancho offer all the good vibes & adventure you hope for in Tulum but without the crowds.
Travel Tips
Looking for a more lively bachelorette party? Stay in Sayulita! Interested in more laid back vibes? Then San Pancho is the town for you! At only 15 minutes apart, it makes sense to stay in one and visit the other.
Puerto Vallarta Bachelorette Party
Likely the most well known destination on our list, Puerto Vallarta is a popular port town on Mexico’s Pacific Coast that is known for its vibrant nightlife scene, beautiful beaches, and friendly and safe environment. You’ll find some of the best local food right in the heart of the city. You can jump on a boat cruise to the pristine beaches located south of the city. Or take a day trip to nearby beach or mountain towns. Puerto Vallarta offers you convenience and an array of activity options.
Who is a Puerto Vallarta Bachelorette Party for?
For the lively bride who wants to soak up the nightlife and club scene in Puerto Vallarta. The bride who wants convenience and to be at the center of all the activities, restaurants and beautiful beaches.
Cancun Bachelorette Party vs. Puerto Vallarta Bachelorette Party
Unlike a Bachelorette Cancun, Puerto Vallarta is far less developed and traveled to, leading to a more authentic and varied experience. If you are looking for a large resort you can find it in PVR. You can also find a variety of condo rentals or boutique hotels. Puerto Vallarta offers all the convenience and experiences as a bachelorette party Cancun, but it is a less commercialized experience. Bonus: Puerto Vallarta has scenic lush green mountains as a backdrop.
Travel Tips
If you are looking for a large beachfront resort, this is the top destination on the list for your Mexico bachelorette party.
Guadalajara and Tequila Bachelorette Party
Tequila and Guadalajara are the ultimate city + rural bachelorette party. Guadalajara is Mexico’s second largest city. Its neighborhood, Colonia Americana, was recently ranked the TRENDIEST neighborhood in the world. The city is filled with culture and art. It has some of the best restaurants & a vibrant nightlife scene. Guadalajara is surrounded by the mountains and has incredible nature around the city. Bonus: it is only a hour away from the rural town of Tequila, the town where tequila originated from. Anything you are looking for- you can find it in Guadalajara.
Who is a Guadalajara Bachelorette Party for?
The city loving bride that loves trendy restaurants and bars, live music, and day trips! Someone looking for a vibrant bachelorette weekend that also doubles as a travel experience. The bride who loves Tequila.
Mexico City Bachelorette Party vs. Guadalajara Bachelorette Party
Mexico City is the most populous city in North America, and when flying into the airport, you understand why. This city stretches for miles and miles. It is an incredible city but the busyness leads to pollution issues, high prices, and traffic. Guadalajara is a fantastic alternative to Mexico City, as it is easier to get around, has cleaner air and is home to the recently ranked trendiest neighborhood in the world! You’ll get all the city vibes without any of the hassle. Bonus: Guadalajara is extremely affordable!
Travel Tips
Plan a whole day around visiting Tequila. From the UNESCO World Heritage site, to the distilleries, to the town itself, there is so much to be discovered in Tequila. Why visit a winery for your bachelorette party when you can visit Tequila?!
Careyes, Jalisco Bachelorette Party
This exclusive and luxury destination is off the beaten path- as it is intended to be and stay this way. Careyes is a luxury community built around beautiful beaches, colorful and unique architecture and an exclusive vibe that attracts the rich & famous. Also, Careyes is well known for its polo matches, eccentric parties, and world class cuisine. This is definitely one of the best relaxing bachelorette party destinations. Careyes is a bucket list destination- why not go for your Bachelorette Party Mexico Weekend?!
Who is a Careyes, Jalisco Bachelorette Party for?
For the bride who is looking to relax and be celebrated in paradise. The bride who wants an elevated luxury resort experience and to feel like they are on their own private island with their friends.
Cozumel Bachelorette Party vs. Careyes Bachelorette Party
Careyes is hard to compare to any other destination, but since it is an isolated and remote getaway, the island of Cozumel or Isla Mujeres is the best comparison. Unlike these busy islands that bring in tourism from Cancun, Careyes is a tropical escape that many have never even heard of. And if you know Careyes, you know. Careyes is far more luxurious and boutique than either of these Yucatan islands and is a top luxury destination.
Travel Tip
You can fly into Puerto Vallarta and take the 3.5 hour drive (or take a helicopter if that is in your budget!). Or ideally you can get a flight into the smaller airport in Manzanillo and you are only a 90 minute drive to Careyes.
La Paz, Baja California Peninsula
When you think of Baja California, many travelers think of Cabo San Lucas and its desert landscape and wide stretches of beaches. La Paz is on the Baja Peninsula, but at 2.5 hours north of Cabo, it couldn’t be more different. The beaches are famous for the turquoise colored ocean and swimmable waters. It is located on the eastern side of the peninsula and has a similar desert landscape to Cabo but without the crowds and large resorts. La Paz is famous for its outdoor activities, like wind surfing, whale watching, island cruises, kayaking, and hikes. It is an undiscovered paradise.
Who is the La Paz Bachelorette Party for?
For the bride who is an outdoor enthusiast and looking for adventure on her bachelorette party weekend. The bride who wants to snorkel in the turquoise waters and discover diverse marine life.
Cabo San Lucas Bachelorette Party vs. La Paz Bachelorette Party
Cabo San Lucas is full of large resorts and many are located on the Pacific side of the peninsula, where you cannot swim due to currents and safety. La Paz is nestled along the East coast, a few hours north of Cabo. The waters are not only a striking turquoise blue, but they are also shallow, sandy and perfect for swimming in. You’ll get all the same desert vibes as Cabo, but with better swimming beaches, more authentic towns, and less tourist crowds.
Travel Tip

Where to Stay for a Mexico Bachelorette Weekend Getaway?
Looking to have the best bachelorette in Mexico? It all starts with where you stay as a group and how you envision hanging with your bachelorette party crew. Below is the Ultimate Bachelorette Party Guide to Accommodation. Interested in learning more about your accommodation options? Schedule a call with TIY to learn more about the best places to stay in Mexico for your group!
Private Villa
Private villas are our top recommendation for Mexico bachelorette party groups! They provide plenty of space and privacy for the group and common areas to gather and bond as a group. Additionally, there is all the variety in the world when it comes to a villa! No matter your budget, group size or style preference, there is something for your bachelorette crew. And in Mexico, your villa usually comes with a private pool.
Boutique Hotel
Locally owned and operated boutique hotels are some of our top accommodation options for bachelorette parties in Mexico. These hotels offer all the comforts & conveniences of a resort, but you will have a more authentic and boutique experience than you would at large hotel chains. Boutique hotels are best for groups looking for more privacy for each celebrator, or alternatively, those wanting to keep costs super low and have people share rooms! They encourage groups to get into the towns they are visiting and support local businesses. In addition, they are a ton of fun- often with pools and bars onsite!
Resort
At TIY Travel, we believe you can have a rejuvenating vacation while having a culturally immersive travel experience. Because of this belief, we stay away from recommending large commercial resorts to our guests. However, we have identified the top boutique resorts in the region that are locally owned and operated, offering a resort stay with authentic vibes. If you are wanting the ease and simplicity of a resort, we will find the best one for your bachelorette party! These options are great for the group looking to just relax on the beach, not venture too far and enjoy resort amenities.

Travel Tips for your Bachelorette Party Weekend Getaway
Book in Advance:
Booking at least 9 months in advance, offers you the best rates and choices for accommodation and activities. Also, it gets the whole group excited and looking forward to the celebration weekend- and hey, another thing scratched off the wedding to do list. But really, we recommend booking in advance primarily for the best choice of accommodation. Many of these Mexican bachelorette party destinations are smaller towns that have a limited supply of large home rentals. By securing your home rental in advance, you are getting the best house for the best price!
Don’t Fall into Tourist Traps
For better or worse, many think of Senor Frogs, All-Inclusive Resorts, Sombreros and Mariachi when they think of Mexico. YES- Mexico is a fun and vibrant destination where you can relax with a margarita in hand on the beach. However, Mexico offers your bachelorette party so much more than tourist traps and commercialized spots. The larger beach towns of Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Cabo San Lucas and even Tulum have been extremely popular tourist spots for decades, which naturally leads to more tourist traps. When you visit lesser known destinations, you are guaranteed to have a more unique experience and mingle with local travelers and not just beach vacationers.
