From actors to supermodels, find out where the recent flock of A-listers have been holidaying this summer.

Riviera Nayarit and Puerto Vallarta, two stunningly diverse and picturesque regions on Mexico’s Pacific Coast, has been host to a number of well-known celebrities over the past few months, solidifying their reputation as preferential destinations for the showbiz world.

With a choice of exclusively luxurious resorts, stunning postcard-perfect landscapes and an endless list of adrenaline-fuelled activities to-do – it’s no wonder they’re becoming known as the playground for the rich and famous. And with the romantic backdrop of pristine sandy shores contrasted against rugged mountains, it’s only a natural choice for destination weddings and honeymoons too.

Over the course of the summer the regions have seen countless big-name stars arrive and relax in style, including:

KIMYE

Newlyweds Kim Kardashian and Kanye West enjoyed their second honeymoon in the exclusive resort of Punta Mita (Riviera Nayarit) in July this year. As no stranger to Instagram, Kim posted several photos of herself sunbathing by the pool at the exclusive ‘Casa Aramara’ of her close friend Joe Francis.

Her love for this slice of paradise has now extended to her virtual reality, as her Kardashian-themed gaming app now includes a ‘Party in Punta Mita’ themed version.

Jessica Simpson

Singer/actress Jessica Simpson followed suit in July, choosing Riviera Nayarit as the destination for her honeymoon with husband Eric Johnson.

The pair stayed at the Four Seasons Punta Mita, spending their time drinking cocktails and taking in the breath-taking views hand in hand.

The Jonas Brothers

In April, Joe Jonas was spotted in Punta Mita and Sayulita, Riviera Nayarit, attending the wedding of his friends and fellow celebrities Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo.

The singer took to Instagram to showcase his holiday photos, including cruising along the beach accompanied by a small donkey (or ‘burro’).

The two regions are favoured for their exotic climate, adherence to tradition and luxurious amenities, such as world-class spas and golf courses. This makes it unsurprising that so many celebrities appear unable to resist the allure of this true heart of Mexico.
