There are beautiful beaches, and then there is Majahuitas: a secluded Pacific cove where lush Sierra Madre jungle tumbles toward crystalline turquoise water, white-gold sand curves beneath the palms, and the only road in is the sea.
Located south of Puerto Vallarta near Quimixto, Majahuitas is accessible only by boat. That alone gives it a rare sense of escape. But arriving by a crowded shared tour boat and arriving aboard your own private yacht are two entirely different experiences. One is a scheduled stop. The other is your day, your pace, and your hidden corner of paradise.
At Luxury Yachts Mexico, we believe the journey should feel as exceptional as the destination. With a professional captain and attentive crew, we turn a visit to Majahuitas into an unforgettable private retreat on the water.
Majahuitas: A Beach You Can Reach Only by Sea
From the moment we leave the marina, Puerto Vallarta begins to reveal its most beautiful side. The city fades behind you. The coastline becomes wilder. Rocky headlands, secluded coves, and emerald hills appear one after another as we cruise south across Banderas Bay.
After approximately 45 minutes, depending on your departure point and yacht, Majahuitas emerges between jungle-covered slopes and the Pacific. There are no roads, no resort towers, and no traffic noise: only the soft rhythm of the water, the call of tropical birds, and the sight of your yacht gliding into a protected cove.
This boat-only access is precisely what preserves Majahuitas’ unique beauty. The beach feels wonderfully removed from the usual sightseeing circuit, especially when you arrive outside the busiest periods aboard a private vessel. You can step ashore for a quiet walk, remain on deck with a chilled glass of Champagne, or let our crew find the ideal anchorage for swimming and snorkeling.
Why a Private Yacht Makes Majahuitas Feel Exclusive
Shared excursions follow a fixed itinerary. They gather at designated times, visit several beaches in a single day, and often bring large groups into the same small cove. That can be enjoyable, but it leaves little room for spontaneity: and even less room for a genuinely intimate escape.
With a private yacht charter, we design the day around you.
Would you like to depart early for calmer water and quieter snorkeling? We can arrange it. Would you prefer a leisurely cruise with time for breakfast onboard before reaching Majahuitas? Consider it done. Want to linger over lunch, swim until the afternoon light turns golden, or add a stop at Los Arcos National Marine Park on the return? Your captain can help shape the route.
This is the difference between a basic boat rental in Puerto Vallarta and a carefully curated experience. Your yacht becomes a private base on the bay: spacious, comfortable, shaded when you want it, sunlit when you prefer, and fully supported by a crew who understands the coastline.
It is also the most elegant way to enjoy a destination that can feel almost entirely yours. We cannot promise that no other guests will ever be on the beach: Majahuitas is a beloved natural attraction: but a private arrival gives you the freedom to choose your timing, your anchorage, and your rhythm.
World-Class Snorkeling in Crystalline Water
Majahuitas is not merely photogenic from the shore. Beneath the surface, the cove is one of the finest snorkeling areas in Banderas Bay.
The water is remarkably clear, with visibility that invites you to explore rocky reefs, underwater canyons, and small marine habitats close to shore. Depending on conditions and season, you may see schools of vividly colored tropical fish, rays, sea turtles, and other Pacific marine life moving through the sheltered waters.
We recommend beginning with a relaxed snorkel from the yacht, where you can slip directly into the sea and return easily whenever you wish. Our crew can help with equipment, water access, and local guidance, allowing confident swimmers and first-time snorkelers alike to enjoy the experience comfortably.
Afterward, dry off on the sun deck, settle into a shaded lounge, and let the view do the entertaining. Majahuitas has a way of making even a simple afternoon swim feel like a world-class indulgence.
The Perfect Setting for a Private Beach Lunch
A long, unhurried lunch is one of the great pleasures of visiting Majahuitas. The beachfront restaurant and beach club offer a beautiful place to dine with the sand beneath your feet, the jungle behind you, and the sea stretching across the horizon.
Fresh seafood is the natural choice. Local preparations may include grilled fish, zarandeado-style seafood, aguachiles, shrimp, and other dishes inspired by the flavors of Mexico’s Pacific coast. The setting is relaxed, but the experience can still feel distinctly refined: fresh ingredients, tropical drinks, warm service, and an extraordinary view from every table.
This is why Majahuitas is such a compelling choice for a private, intimate lunch. You are not rushing between activities or trying to keep a large group together. You can linger over every course, share a bottle of wine, and listen to the water instead of a crowded restaurant soundtrack.
For couples, it is wonderfully romantic. For families, it is easy and memorable. For a small group celebrating a milestone, it offers the kind of atmosphere that turns an ordinary meal into a story you will tell for years.
Restaurant and beach club schedules can vary, so we recommend confirming availability in advance: particularly if lunch is central to your plans. We can help coordinate your timing and include an onboard chef as an alternative or complement. Explore our private chef service for customized menus prepared onboard, from elegant seafood lunches to multi-course celebrations.
A Day Designed Around Your Kind of Luxury
There is no single correct way to experience Majahuitas. We can create a relaxed day charter focused on swimming, snorkeling, and lunch, or build a more expansive coastal escape with additional stops at Quimixto, Yelapa, or Las Animas.
You may choose a sleek sport yacht for speed and style, a spacious catamaran for easygoing comfort, or one of our super luxury yachts for expansive deck space and elevated amenities. Our fleet also includes mid-luxury yachts, sailing vessels, power sport yachts, and options for different group sizes and preferences.
Add a premium bar upgrade, private transportation, a photographer, a massage service, or water toys for an even more personalized day. If Majahuitas is the setting for a proposal, anniversary, birthday, or intimate celebration, our special occasion packages help us transform the experience into a meaningful milestone.
