Where to Stay in Sayulita

We’ve got 14 places to stay on the map, and none of them is a resort. They are small hotels on walkable streets, and Petit Hotel Hafa has just eight rooms. Almost all of them are a short walk from the beach, which in a town this size is the point. Most have air conditioning and Wi-Fi, and several put a kitchen in the room.

Where you sleep shapes the trip more than the room does. Hotel Vogue sits across from the plaza, a minute from the sand. Hotel Azul Pitaya faces the surf break itself.

How we pick: this page covers every hotel on our map, not a top ten, and where one of us has stayed, we tell you. For rooms with more design than square footage, see the boutique hotels. Set on a wristband? Read the all-inclusive page first.

Traveling as a group of four or more? A vacation rental is often the better fit than several rooms.

Sayulita’s eight neighborhoods

Sayulita is small, but every corner trades something: noise, a climb or a walk. Pick a zone on the map to see what it trades.

Centro

The plaza, the main beach and the taco stands, all on foot.

The loudest part of town, with music most nights.

Centro
The plaza, the main beach and the taco stands, all on foot. The loudest part of town, with music most nights. Best for: First trips, short stays
Gringo Hill
The hill above the plaza, with ocean and sunset views. Steep streets and a 10-minute-plus walk to the beach. Best for: Views, couples
South Side
Quieter streets toward Playa de los Muertos and Carricitos. The farther homes are a 10 to 15 minute walk from the plaza. Best for: Surfers, families, quiet nights
North Side
Across the river: flatter, calmer, on the north end of the main beach. The far end is a 15-minute walk from the plaza. Best for: Walkers, quiet stays
Beachfront
Homes on the sand itself, on the main beach or Playa de los Muertos. Ask how loud the surf is at night, and where the car goes. Best for: Beach from the doorstep
Tamarindo
Between the river and Gringo Hill, back from the sea. Fewer rentals, more family homes. Best for: Longer stays
Nanzal
The north hillside: gated homes and views, with sun all day. Steep access. Plan on a cart or a car, and a hot summer. Best for: Views, privacy
East Side
Inland, away from the beach and the plaza. A longer walk to the sand. Best for: Quiet, longer stays

The Sayulita Hotel Guide

Stay in the Center

Several of the town’s hotels sit on Avenida Revolución, the street you drive in on, a few minutes on foot from the plaza. Bungalows Jaqueline rents one- and two-bedroom bungalows with their own kitchens around a pool, which suits families. Hotel Riviera Sayulita is all suites, each with a kitchenette.

Hafa is the one with the bold red front and a small rooftop pool, and it takes pets on request. Hotel Vogue has bungalows with kitchenettes, a saltwater pool with a waterfall, and beach chairs and towels included. For something plain and central, Hotel Edén has nine rooms and a rooftop terrace for the sunset.

Camarón Campground

Sleep on the Sand

Only a couple of places put you on the beach itself. Hotel Azul Pitaya faces the surf break, with a 47-meter pool, its own stretch of sand with loungers and hammocks, a kitchen in every room and breakfast included.

The cheapest night on the sand is Camarón Campground, in a coconut grove on the north beach. Pitch a tent, rent a palapa for shade, or take a room upstairs; showers and bathrooms are shared. More about the beaches themselves is in the beach guide.

Pools, Rooftops and Quiet

11 of them have a pool, and a few put it somewhere worth the climb. Avela Boutique Hotel, above the center, is adults only, with a saltwater pool, a hot tub and breakfast by the water. Sayulinda Hotel has a rooftop infinity pool looking over the town and the Pacific.

Further from the plaza, Pacific Inn Sayulita has a rooftop pool, a minimarket downstairs, and the beach about ten minutes away on foot. Hotel Samanu, on the road to Higuera Blanca, is about seven minutes from the center, with free parking and breakfast in its own restaurant.

La Redonda Surf Hostel Sayulita

A Cheap Night in Town

La Redonda Surf Hostel is in the center, steps from the beach, with dorm beds, lockers, air conditioning and breakfast included. Its bar opens to everyone from 9 p.m., so pick it for the company, not for early nights.

Hotel Edén and the campground are the other cheap sleeps. There are more beds in the hostel guide.
