Puerto Vallarta, nominated for the 2026 Travvy Awards: Mexico's romantic destination the world keeps recognizing

Four nominations that confirm what you already knew: Puerto Vallarta remains the industry's favorite romantic destination

There are destinations that trend for a season and disappear. And there are others that, year after year, keep appearing among the world tourism industry's most important recognitions. Puerto Vallarta just added four nominations to the 2026 Travvy Awards — the awards TravelPulse and AGENTatHOME give out every year to the world's best destinations, hotels, and travel experiences — and now has three consecutive editions among the favorites. If you're planning a couples getaway, this is exactly what you need to know before booking.

 

Four nominations, one reason: why the industry keeps voting for Puerto Vallarta

What the Travvy Awards are and why they matter

 

 

They're the most important awards in the U.S. travel industry, voted on by expert travel advisors — not by tourists, but by the people who recommend destinations professionally. That gives them a different weight than other rankings.

Three consecutive years as a favorite

Puerto Vallarta had already won in 2024 and 2025; the 2026 nomination confirms a trend, not a stroke of luck.

Puerto Vallarta enters this cycle backed by a track record in four categories: 

 

  • Best Destination in Mexico.
  • Best Culinary Destination in Mexico.
  • Best Tourism Board in Mexico. 
  • Best Academic Program for Travel Agents.
