Rental figures use AirROI’s Sayulita, Nayarit, Mexico market, not the wider Puerto Vallarta region. AirROI supplied the reporting boundary shown below; exact listing coverage remains under review.

Read these signals together: search interest shows attention, occupancy shows rental use, and booking lead time helps you plan when to promote.

The area behind the numbers

Which part of Sayulita do these figures cover?

AirROI supplied this boundary for its Sayulita market and confirmed that San Pancho, Lo de Marcos, Higuera Blanca and Punta de Mita are separate localities. This is a provider-defined reporting area, not an official administrative boundary.

Boundary: September 2026 · Supplied by AirROI on November 3, 2026. Exact listing coverage remains unverified: 8 market listings fall outside the polygon and 12 labelled as nearby localities fall inside. Their locations were not supplied.

Booked so far, not a forecast. Later months have had less time to fill. A lower bar does not establish falling tourism.

Booked nights divided by booked plus available nights, summed across returned dates. The current month may be partial. No equivalent prior-year observation is available, so we do not claim a year-over-year booking pace.
