An Evening Beyond the Ordinary


As daylight fades over Banderas Bay, the evening begins with a journey by sea to a secluded stretch of the southern Jalisco coast. Here, candlelit pathways wind through the jungle toward an evening where gastronomy, performance and the natural landscape come together around ALMA, the latest evolution of Rhythms of the Night.

An Evening Accessible Only by Sea

Rhythms of the Night begins before the performance itself. Guests depart Puerto Vallarta aboard a catamaran, crossing Banderas Bay at sunset toward a secluded coastal setting between Yelapa and Quimixto. The location was once the seaside retreat of filmmaker John Huston, adding another layer to a landscape already defined by jungle, ocean and isolation.

After arriving, candlelit pathways lead through the jungle to dinner and eventually to the open-air theater where ALMA unfolds. The current production combines music, movement and visual storytelling around themes of nature, ancestral traditions and the relationship between humanity and the natural world.

Three Ways to Experience the Evening

Classic includes the complete core experience: sunset cruise, gourmet dinner, wine and drinks, ALMA and the return cruise.

VIP adds preferential outbound boarding, live music during dinner, oceanfront dining and a designated theater area.

Premier places greater emphasis on gastronomy and exclusivity, with cuisine by Paco Ruano, unlimited champagne during dinner, sommelier wine pairing, live music, an opportunity to meet the artists and Premier theater seating.

Regardless of the option selected, the defining rhythm of the evening remains the same: a journey across the bay, dinner between jungle and sea, live performance beneath the night sky and a return to Puerto Vallarta by water.
