Shopping

Like dining and nightlife, Puerto Vallarta’s shopping is equally impressive and diverse. It’s a Mexico vacation where dreams come true for bargain hunters, art aficionados and collectors. No matter where you shop in Puerto Vallarta, you’ll always find something to surprise, amaze and delight you. 

As a shopper’s paradise, Puerto Vallarta is known for having the most extraordinary selection of contemporary Mexican fine art outside of Mexico City. In addition, there’s an abundance of silver jewelry, beachwear and Mexican souvenirs. You can buy silver, opals and turquoise jewelry on the Malecón, as well as local art crafted right in front of you.

You’ll also discover a wide variety of shops, like: boutiques, art galleries, shopping plazas, markets, large malls, outdoor artisan stalls and local stores. Market stalls and boutiques sell beachwear, sarongs, trinkets, brightly colored blankets (serapes), Cuban cigars, hand-carved woodwork, home furnishings, and jewelry—both gold and sterling silver—one of Mexico’s most in-demand exports.
