About MAR Collection

The Magic of Banderas Bay

There is a moment that happens to almost everyone who comes to Banderas Bay for the first time — a moment when the Sierra Madre meets the sea, when the light turns gold over the Pacific and the air smells of salt and tropical flowers, and something inside you simply lets go. The bay has a way of doing that. It is one of the largest and most protected bays in the world, framed by jungle-covered mountains, dotted with hidden beaches, and alive with a culture that is warm, proud, and unlike anywhere else in Mexico.

MAR Collection exists to give our guests that moment — and then every beautiful moment that follows. We want you to discover the warmth of the local culture, the richness of the food, the kindness of the people, and the kind of beauty that makes you want to come back. Our greatest joy is not a first visit — it is seeing guests return, year after year, because Vallarta got into their hearts the same way it got into ours. We love this city deeply, and there is nothing we love more than sharing it.
