Puerto Vallarta Airport
Book your flight to Puerto Vallarta (PVR) which is in the state of Jalisco. Sayulita is 38 km (which takes 45 mintues to an hour) north of the airport. Please note that there is construction on highway 200 to Sayulita so travel time can be delayed.
Either prearrange a driver to pick you up at the airport, or take taxis to your destinations. It is not advised to rent a car because Sayulita has very little parking options. If you're interested in visiting other cities or sites outside of Sayulita, then a rental car or hiring a driver might make sense.

Notes about finding a place
In Sayulita, there isn't a big resort hotel. What it has instead are many different boutique hotels, and houses or condos to rent. Sayulita offers a diverse experience when it comes to your stay.
The grooms' housing and the wedding venue is in northern Sayulita (north and south Sayulita is separated by the Sayulita river). It's not necessary to find housing in Northern Sayulita, because it only takes 20-30 minutes to walk from one side of town to the other. But if being close to the venue and/or grooms' is desired, try to find a place on the northern side of town.
Airbnb
Airbnb offers accommodations of all types: from small individual hotels or studios, to multistory houses. Our general recommendation is if you're noise sensitive, try to book a little outside of the center of town. The farther you are from the center of town, the more quiet it will be.
VRBO
VRBO is also a great option to find and book different kinds of housing for your stay in Sayulita. You can find a condo, or a small boutique hotel, or a house with a pool on VRBO.
