For digital nomads, living in Puerto Vallarta checks all the boxes. It’s home to an international airport, plenty of coworking spaces and cafes, furnished apartments, a unique culinary scene, and superb nightlife.

Living in Puerto Vallarta, you have to pinch yourself constantly. The Sierra Madre mountains and the Bay of Banderas combine to create postcard-worthy scenery that often results in those “Is this real life?” moments. This is one of the top places for digital nomads.
