Part of the Gay Puerto Vallarta Guide — bars, events & things to do.

Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco
Nightly drag cabaret in Centro celebrating the Zapotec Muxe tradition, no cover.
Cabaret-style show bar in Centro named after the Muxe — the Zapotec third gender tradition from Oaxaca that predates Spanish colonization. El Secreto de la Muxe is a nightly drag and entertainment venue: doors open around 9 PM, shows start at 11 PM, and the lineup features lip-sync tributes to Mexican pop icons like Lola Beltrán and Thalía, plus stand-up comedy. No cover charge. The wings are worth ordering. Sitting about a kilometer north of the Zona Romántica's concentrated gay strip, this is a Spanish-language cabaret where the crowd and the performers skew more local than tourist. The comedy lands if you follow Mexican pop culture, and the atmosphere is interactive and warm rather than dark or clubby.

The complete LGBTQ+ guide to Puerto Vallarta — the Romantic Zone gayborhood, gay bars, beach clubs, pool parties, gay-friendly resorts, and everything for your trip to Mexico's gay capital.

Puerto Vallarta's gay resorts sit within a few blocks of each other in the Zona Romántica and on the Amapas hillside above it. Here is what each property's own site says about who it is for, which pools are clothing-optional, what a night costs, and which ones sell day passes, from Almar's beach club to the seven-room men-only Piñata PV.

BeefDip returns to Puerto Vallarta January 24–31, 2027 with nine days of pool, beach and club parties across the Zona Romántica. The official schedule is out: here is every party, what the Dog Tag covers, and where to stay.

Which gay cruise fits you? Atlantis, VACAYA, Olivia, Brand g, Big Gay Cruise, bear cruises and more, compared by vibe, ship size, price and who each one is for.

Where to stay in PV — gay-focused boutique resorts in Amapas and the Romantic Zone, beachfront stays at Blue Chairs, and adults-only all-inclusives. Plus the booking strategy for Vallarta Pride.

Memorial Day weekend means three of the year's biggest gay events happening at the same time. Here's how to pick — plus every other LGBTQ+ event worth your May 2026.
