Sayulita is an incredible place. Close to the more famous Puerto Vallarta, this small town has recently exploded with backpackers who end up staying here for longer than they expect.
Known commonly as “Stayulita“ because so many nomads end up chilling here for weeks or months, this little surf town has it all. I stayed for a week at Viajero Hostel (see video below and link in the video). It was an absolute blast.
Although the hostel is pretty big, it has a rooftop pool that is totally occupied by noon every day. The views are unreal and you can see all of the surrounding hills and the main beach in town.
You can reach Sayulita by bus from Puerto Vallarta in about 40 minutes and it only costs 50 pesos. You can also take an Uber from the airport or the center of town for about $40.
Sayulita is one of those places that you have to leave (if you’re a backpacker), otherwise you will never see another part of Mexico. Its so pretty, the weather is amazing, you can work
