The 10 Best Bucerias Airbnbs (#7 Has a Rooftop Palapa Bar with a Jacuzzi)

Looking for the best Bucerias Airbnbs?

You’re in the right place as I’ve called Mexico home since 2018, and I’ve stayed in 50+ Airbnbs all over the country.

Bucerías is a laid-back beach town on Banderas Bay, about a 25-minute drive north of the Puerto Vallarta airport, with a long sandy beach and whale watching in winter — and some of Mexico’s best Airbnbs.

👀 Curious about my top pick? It’s the four-bedroom home with a private pool and bay views — check it out here.

The tricky part is that Bucerías stretches along the bay, and the best stays are split between the Zona Dorada, the streets around the plaza and the beachfront condos. That’s where I come in!

I’ve hand-picked a list of places, all with nearly-5 star ratings, lots of glowing reviews, and Airbnb’s Guest Favorite badge.
