January marks the beginning of a new year, and there’s no better way to kick it off than by immersing yourself in the tropical beauty of the Riviera Nayarit. This paradise on Mexico’s Pacific coast offers golden beaches, incredible weather, and activities that rejuvenate the body and soul. Here’s why a January getaway to Riviera Nayarit is an experience you must live at least once in your life…
Start the Year at the Beach!
Imagine basking in warm sunshine while the rest of the world bundles up. In Riviera Nayarit, January brings perfect beach weather; think balmy breezes, azure waves, and endless fun for all ages. Whether you prefer lounging with a cocktail in hand, viewing vibrant sunsets over the ocean, or building sandcastles with the kids, starting your year on these pristine shores is pure delight.
Celebrate Three Kings Day: A Taste of Tradition
On January 6th, Mexico celebrates Three Kings Day (Día de Reyes), a cherished holiday that commemorates the arrival of the Magi to visit baby Jesus. Families gather to share the traditional Rosca de Reyes, a delicious sweet bread adorned with candied fruits and hiding tiny figurines. Anyone who receives a slice with a figurine in it, must buy tamales for the group in February! It’s a moment of joy, family connection, and, if you’re lucky, a tasty way to immerse yourself in the local culture.
Whale Watching Season: Don’t Miss the Finale
January is one of the last months to experience the awe-inspiring whale-watching season in Riviera Nayarit. Every year, majestic humpback whales migrate to the warm waters of Banderas Bay to breed and nurse their young. Witnessing these gentle giants leap from the ocean or hearing their hauntingly beautiful songs is a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle that will leave you speechless. Remember to book your whale-watching tour to see these animals up close.
Forget Blue Monday with a Beach Vacation
January’s so-called "Blue Monday," often referred to as the gloomiest day of the year, is no match for the vibrant energy of Riviera Nayarit. Swap gray skies and winter blues for tropical sunsets and refreshing margaritas. A vacation here is the ultimate antidote to post-holiday stress, and we promise you’ll return home with a sunny glow and unforgettable memories.
