Driving Directions from Puerto Vallarta Airport

From the Puerto Vallarta international airport, drive North on highway MEX 200. Sayulita is about 25 miles (35kms) north of the airport. Upon exiting the airport, take a right onto MEX 200 and an immediate left in order to be traveling north. Follow the signs to Compostela and Tepic. After approximately twenty minutes you will pass through the town of Bucerias. After passing through Bucerias, MEX 200 continues on as a four-lane highway for a few more miles until the turnoff to Punta Mita. Make sure to bear to the left here.

At this point the highway changes to a two-lane road, and heads up and over a small mountain in a winding and twisting manner with tons of curves. Watch for animals grazing along the road and slow moving vehicles. You will pass signs for several small villages. After passing through the village of San Ignacio, a small sign marks the turnoff to Sayulita. Turn left here.
When you enter Sayulita (having turned off highway MEX 200), you'll come to a fork. Take the right leg of the fork. This is the main entrance road to Sayulita. After about 500m you'll see that the road splits into two lanes with a divider in between. 50m further, there's a street on the right hand side. Turn into this street (calle Miramar) and continue until you reach the intersection with Hotel Diamante on the right hand corner (you'll see the beach in front of you, one block away). Turn right and continue about 40m. There's a big black gate on the left side (see picture below). This is the entrance to Villas del Palmar. To open the gate, just enter the complex on foot through the smaller black gate right next to it. The big black gate opens from the inside.

Inside the complex, Villa Sophie is the third house on the right. You'll see a sign that says '4 Villa Sophie' (See picture below). You have reached your destination :-)
