Sayulita is a village about 25 miles north of downtown Puerto Vallarta in the state of Nayarit, Mexico, with a population of approximately 4,000.
There are many areas in the general Puerto Vallarta area. The first one Iâll discuss is the Sayulita area, which is a small town about an hour north of Puerto Vallarta, which draws a very different, unique type of clientele with not as many retired people as Puerto Vallarta. The cost of living can be quite high in Sayulita here because of rental costs. Long-term rentals are really hard to find in this area, so they may cost about $1,000 a month. If you lived in another town or purchased some property, you would not have the relatively high monthly expense of a rental.
