When people think of Puerto Vallarta, they often picture sunny beach days and the sparkling waters of the Pacific. But summer reveals an entirely different side of the destination—one that many travelers end up falling in love with: the Green Season.
During these months, tropical rain showers transform the landscape. The Sierra Madre mountains become lush and vibrant, tropical vegetation flourishes, and dramatic skies create breathtaking scenery throughout the day. Rather than interrupting your vacation, the rain becomes part of the experience, creating unforgettable moments that can only be enjoyed during this unique season.
At Almar LGBT Luxury Resort, summer is an invitation to discover a different side of Puerto Vallarta—one filled with vibrant landscapes, unforgettable experiences, and the unmistakable energy that makes this destination so special.
The Season When Puerto Vallarta Comes to Life
With the arrival of the summer rains, Puerto Vallarta transforms.
The mountains surrounding Banderas Bay become a stunning shade of green, palm trees appear more vibrant, and every corner of the city feels alive with tropical beauty. The contrast between the Pacific Ocean, the lush jungle, and dramatic cloud-filled skies creates some of the most spectacular scenery of the year.
And while rain is part of the Green Season, it rarely lasts all day. Showers typically arrive in the late afternoon or evening, leaving plenty of time to enjoy the beach, stroll through the Romantic Zone, spend the day at Mantamar Beach Club, or discover some of Puerto Vallarta's favorite local spots.
Dance in the Rain at Mantamar Beach Club
Some experiences can only happen during summer.
At Mantamar Beach Club, a tropical rain shower doesn't mean the music stops or the fun comes to an end. In fact, it often becomes part of the celebration.
As the DJ keeps the music going and the pool remains full of energy, dancing under a warm summer rain with your favorite cocktail in hand becomes one of those spontaneous vacation moments you'll never forget.
In Puerto Vallarta, the rain doesn't pause the experience—it simply creates a different kind of magic.
Sunsets Only the Green Season Can Deliver
One of summer's best-kept secrets is its extraordinary sunsets.
After a tropical rain shower, the sky often explodes into brilliant shades of gold, fiery orange, pink, and purple, reflecting across Banderas Bay in a breathtaking display of color.
One of the best places to witness this daily spectacle is Eden Pool & Rooftop, where panoramic ocean views provide the perfect setting to unwind with a cocktail while watching nature put on its evening show.
It's no surprise that many locals and returning visitors consider the Green Season home to Puerto Vallarta's most spectacular sunsets.
Relax While the Rain Creates the Perfect Atmosphere
Not every vacation moment has to be filled with activity.
There's something incredibly peaceful about watching a tropical rain shower from a pool overlooking the Pacific, enjoying a relaxing massage, ordering your favorite drink, or simply listening to the soothing sound of raindrops blending with the ocean waves.
These unexpected moments often become the memories you'll treasure most long after your vacation ends.
At Almar, even a rainy afternoon becomes part of the luxury experience.
Start Your Morning with an Unforgettable View
Summer mornings have a charm all their own.
Clouds drifting over the Sierra Madre mountains, the bay slowly coming to life, and lush green landscapes create the perfect backdrop for a relaxing breakfast at The Top Sky Bar.
Whether you're enjoying freshly brewed coffee, breakfast, or a leisurely brunch, you'll discover that cloudy mornings offer some of Puerto Vallarta's most beautiful views.
Rain Brings More Than Beautiful Landscapes
In Puerto Vallarta, rain rarely means staying indoors.
After a passing shower, the streets of the Romantic Zone quickly come back to life. Restaurants, cafés, art galleries, and bars fill with visitors continuing to enjoy everything the city has to offer. As the clouds begin to part, they're often rewarded with some of the year's most spectacular sunsets.
Rain also creates the perfect opportunity to indulge in experiences like a spa treatment, oceanfront dining, handcrafted cocktails, or simply slowing down and embracing the relaxed rhythm of your vacation.
It's this combination of nature, entertainment, and unexpected moments that makes the Green Season one of the favorite times of year for travelers who know Puerto Vallarta best.
More Space to Enjoy Puerto Vallarta
Beyond its incredible scenery, summer offers a more relaxed way to experience the destination.
It's the perfect time to spend the day at Mantamar Beach Club, stroll along the Malecón, explore the Romantic Zone, discover new restaurants, or simply take in the beauty of the Pacific without the larger crowds of peak season.
Every experience feels more personal, allowing you to enjoy Puerto Vallarta at your own pace while still embracing the vibrant LGBTQ+ community that makes the city so welcoming.
