What sets Sayulita apart from other areas of the bay?
Sayulita has a personality all its own, blending beach life, surf, art, a bohemian atmosphere, and a very active international community.

How far is it from the airport?
Sayulita is approximately 38–40 kilometers from Puerto Vallarta International Airport. The drive usually takes around 40 to 50 minutes, depending on traffic, offering convenient access to the airport while preserving its coastal village atmosphere.
Is Sayulita a good area for vacation rentals?
Yes. Sayulita has a very distinctive rental market because many travelers are looking for more than just the beach—they want to experience its surf culture, restaurants, walkable streets, nightlife, and active international community. Well-located properties can be especially attractive for short-term stays, although performance depends heavily on access, neighborhood noise, parking, amenities, and good property management.
What additional costs should I consider when buying property?
Closing costs in Mexico are typically around 5% to 8% of the purchase price. These may include acquisition tax (ISAI), notary fees, registration fees, and other costs related to transferring ownership. Before you move forward with a purchase, we’ll provide a detailed estimate so you know what to expect.
Can I buy property in Mexico as a foreigner?
Yes. Foreign buyers can purchase property in Mexico’s coastal restricted zone through a fideicomiso, or bank trust. This structure gives you the right to use, rent, sell, improve, and transfer the property. Bank trust fees vary by institution, but the annual fee is commonly around $500–700 USD. Our team can guide you through the entire process.
