The 3 Best Places for a Weekend Getaway to Mexico

Spending a week or more in Mexico is always a great choice, but there isn’t always a full week to dedicate to a vacation.

Long weekends are a perfect alternative. Take an extra day or two on the front or back end of a weekend for a quick getaway.

Not all destinations are easily accessible for a short stay, but there are three spots in Mexico that work nicely for long weekend trips.

Cancun

Cancun has nonstop flights from just about any of the major hubs in the US, making it an ideal weekend trip. It’s also a very short drive to the hotel zone after landing at the international airport.

Travelers will find themselves sitting on the beach with a cocktail in no time.

This area has shopping available, a fun nightlife scene and a long stretch of white sand beach.

Cabo San Lucas

Speaking of nightlife, downtown Cabo will not disappoint in this department. Choosing to stay at a resort in the downtown area such as Breathless Cabo San Lucas will provide easy access to the popular bars and clubs.

The weather is usually warm and sunny most of the year, so travelers should have a pleasant stay no matter when they choose to go.

Puerto Vallarta

This charming city is located on the Pacific coast of Mexico and is perfect for a few nights away. It’s known for nice beaches and watersports. There is also a boardwalk filled with boutique shops, restaurants and churches.

Visitors will be able to enjoy stunning sunsets from most of the beachfront resorts.
