Where can I store luggage in Puerto Vallarta?

Puerto Vallarta sits on the Pacific coast of Mexico where the Sierra Madre mountains come right down to Banderas Bay. The setting is genuinely stunning. You've got jungle-covered hills behind you, blue water in front of you, and a compact, walkable town in between. The Malecon boardwalk stretches along the shoreline with public art sculptures, street performers, and ocean views the whole way. Zona Romantica is the old-school heart of PV, with cobblestone streets, family-run restaurants, and Los Muertos Beach right at its doorstep.

There's more to PV than the beach, though. Old Town is full of art galleries, and the weekend art walk draws big crowds. Whale watching season from December to March brings humpbacks right into the bay. You can take a boat to the hidden beaches at Las Caletas or Yelapa, hike in the Sierra Madre foothills, or just eat your weight in fresh ceviche and fish tacos by the water. The Marina area on the north end has its own restaurant row and is where most of the boat tours depart from.

All of this is way better without luggage. BagsAway has storage locations across Puerto Vallarta inside vetted local businesses. Book online, drop your bags in about 30 seconds, and spend your time on the beach or the boardwalk instead of worrying about your stuff. Every bag is insured up to $1,200.

BagsAway: Luggage Storage Across Puerto Vallarta

BagsAway works like Airbnb but for your bags. We partner with local shops, hotels, cafes, and businesses in Puerto Vallarta that have safe, secure space for your stuff. Each location is vetted, bags are sealed and tagged, and everything is insured up to $1,200. No lockers, no coins, no running around trying to find a safe spot.

Puerto Vallarta gets millions of visitors every year, from cruise ship passengers spending the day in port to snowbirds settling in for weeks at a time. A lot of people arrive with more bags than they need for the day, whether it's a cruise stop, a last-day-before-the-airport situation, or a day trip from Sayulita or Nuevo Vallarta. Trying to enjoy the Malecon sunset with a roller bag isn't it. We make that problem go away.

Where to find luggage storage in Puerto Vallarta

Our BagDrop network covers the spots where visitors spend the most time. Here's the breakdown:

Zona Romantica (Old Town South)

Zona Romantica is the most popular neighbourhood in PV for good reason. The streets are narrow and cobblestoned, the restaurants are packed wall-to-wall, and Los Muertos Beach is just steps away. Olas Altas Street has some of the best dining in town, and the farmers market at Lazaro Cardenas Park runs on weekends. It's the kind of area where you want to stroll and stop in wherever looks good. Suitcases and cobblestones do not mix, so drop your bags at a BagDrop and walk Zona Romantica properly.

The Malecon

The Malecon is Puerto Vallarta's iconic boardwalk, running about a mile along the oceanfront. It's lined with sculptures, restaurants, bars, and vendors. At sunset the whole thing fills with people. There are no bag storage facilities along the Malecon itself, and the walkway gets crowded, especially between the main plaza and the Los Arcos amphitheatre. A BagDrop near the Malecon lets you walk the full stretch, grab a drink, and catch the sunset without juggling bags.

Downtown and the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe

The parish church with its distinctive crown-topped tower is the most photographed building in PV. The surrounding streets make up the downtown core with shops, banks, and the main plaza where locals gather in the evenings. It's a busy, walkable grid and the main connection point between the Malecon and the rest of town. If you're exploring downtown, drop your bags nearby and you'll cover a lot more ground.

Marina Vallarta

The Marina is on the north end of the hotel zone, close to the airport. This is where boat tours, fishing charters, and sunset cruises leave from. There's a boardwalk with restaurants and shops wrapping around the marina basin. If you're doing a whale watching trip or a Marietas Islands tour, you probably don't want to bring everything with you on the boat. A BagDrop in the Marina area keeps your stuff safe on dry land.

Los Muertos Beach area

Los Muertos is the main public beach in Puerto Vallarta, right at the foot of Zona Romantica. The pier juts out into the bay and there are beach clubs and palapa restaurants along the sand. It's the kind of place where you want to spend a few hours with your feet in the water. Bringing your travel bags to the beach is asking for trouble with sand and water damage. Store them at a nearby BagDrop and hit the beach worry-free.

Other luggage storage options in Puerto Vallarta

Here's what else is out there so you can compare your options.

Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR)

PVR airport doesn't have a well-known public luggage storage service inside the terminal. If you've got hours between your checkout and your flight and want to squeeze in more beach time, a BagsAway BagDrop in town is the way to go. The airport is just 15 minutes from the hotel zone and 20 minutes from Zona Romantica.

Cruise ship terminal

Puerto Vallarta is a popular cruise port and ships dock at the terminal north of downtown. The terminal area itself doesn't offer luggage storage for walk-arounds. If you want to explore beyond the terminal shopping area and really see the town, a BagDrop in the Malecon or Zona Romantica area means you can wander freely and get back to the ship on time.

Hotel storage

Most hotels and resorts in PV will hold bags for current guests on your checkout day. If you're staying at an all-inclusive up in Nuevo Vallarta but spending the day downtown, trekking back to the resort just to grab your bags before heading to the airport is a pain. A BagDrop closer to your activities saves you the round trip.
