Caletas Day Spa and Snorkeling Cruise

Accessible only from the sea, the secluded cove of Caletas feels worlds away, yet its location is just a pleasant hour-long boat ride from Puerto Vallarta. Backed by the jungle-clad slopes of the Sierra Madre mountains, you'll feel enveloped in tropical seclusion in this playful paradise that was once the private home of John Houston, who considered it one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Once you arrive, the entire day is yours to enjoy the many treasures of Caletas. The shallow waters of this isolated cove are ideal for a coastal sea-kayaking excursion. Beneath the surface, the underwater coves and nearby natural reef offer some of the finest snorkeling and diving in Pacific coast Mexico with a diverse array of brilliant sea life. Scuba excursions are organized by our own PADI 5-star Dive Center.

On land, renowned botanist Charles Sacamano has lovingly created a special nature trail with markers that identify the exceptional flora and fauna of Caletas. For those who prefer simple relaxation, the pristine, private beach lined by tall coconut palms is captivating in its tranquility.

Caletas also offers its own unique remedy to everyday stress: relaxing and therapeutic massages and facials in our enchantingly rustic day spa. Sea breezes float through the large, open windows of this luxury-primitive cabaña, located on a small hill with a sweeping view of the cove. Massages are given with aromatic and natural oils, using both traditional and indigenous techniques. Our chef and culinary team will prepare an excellent lunch of locally grown vegetables and freshly caught fish, accompanied by wine. Beverages may be enjoyed throughout the day.
