Is October a good time to visit Puerto Vallarta? For couples, the answer is yes. October has something no other month offers: sunny mornings over Banderas Bay, mountains blanketed in green and, some afternoons, a storm that rolls in, lights up the sky, and moves on, leaving behind vividly colored sunsets. In this guide, we share how to embrace that rhythm at Villa Premiere Boutique Hotel & Romantic Getaway, an adults-only beachfront hotel.
What October in Puerto Vallarta Is Like for Couples
October is when the rainy season starts winding down. It rains much less than in September, and when it does, it's usually in the afternoon or evening, in brief showers. Mornings almost always dawn clear, and the ocean stays warm at around 29 °C (84 °F).
That rhythm is perfect for a couple's getaway: active mornings by the ocean and afternoons for staying in, with no rush and no guilt.
Mornings to Wake Up Together
Oceanfront Yoga
Starting the day with a yoga class against the backdrop of the bay is the best way to enjoy the cool of an October morning.
Cold Plunge at Shakti Spa
From 8:00 to 10:00 a.m., guests can enjoy Shakti Spa's complimentary cold plunge with an advance reservation. An invigorating contrast before the day heats up.
Breakfast Without Leaving Your Suite
With 24-hour room service, breakfast can be delivered to your balcony while you watch the bay wake up together.
Rainy Afternoons Behind Closed Doors
When it rains, your suite becomes the best plan. Order in-room aromatherapy, choose your ideal pillow from the pillow menu, and let the sound of the rain do the rest.
If you book the Spa Suite, your stay includes a 25-minute couples massage, the perfect plan for a cloudy afternoon.
When the Rain Clears: Dinners to End the Day
After the storm, the sky over the bay is often painted in shades of orange and violet. It's time to step out:
Chef's Table. An intimate culinary experience designed to be shared by two.
Romantic beachfront dinner. A table by the sand, with the sound of the waves after the rain.
La Perla. Fine dining with ocean views to close out the day.
If you choose the Gourmet All-Inclusive Plan, you can also enjoy seasonal themed dinners with live music.
