SMOOTH FLYING
Our corner of the Jalisco coastline offers incomparable scenery, where rugged cliffs and imposing mountains meet the waves of the Pacific. The closest airport is Manzanillo-Costalegre International Airport (ZLO), just a 50-minute drive from our magnificent lobby, La Mansión. Flying to Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR; 3 hr 50 min by car) or Guadalajara International Airport (GDL; 4 hr 56 min by car) will also bring you closer to our secluded Resort. Allow our Tamarindo Travel Experts to coordinate your transfer from Puerto Vallarta or Guadalajara. Opt to start your Tamarindo experience in the air and board a small plane that will fly you directly to Tamarindo, or on the ground as you immerse yourself in the Mexican countryside and enjoy a stop in the charming town of El Tuito.
Nonstop flights to Manzanillo, Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara from major airports in the United States, Canada and Mexico make your journey to Tamarindo swift and easy. Plan the route that best suits your needs.
