A gastronomic experience at the heights of Puerto Vallarta
A restaurant inside a lighthouse with panoramic views
Located at Avenida Paseo de la Marina 245, in Marina Vallarta, Jalisco, 36 by El Faro has become one of the most distinctive places in Puerto Vallarta thanks to its privileged location inside a lighthouse. This concept positions it as one of the few high-end restaurants in the world situated at the top of such a structure, offering a panoramic view of 360 degrees of the city, the marina, and the ocean.
For years, the place was known as “El Faro,” an iconic space that was part of countless celebrations and special gatherings in Vallarta. After a major renovation at the end of 2022, the concept evolved to become 36 by El Faro, integrating restaurant, bar, and art gallery into a single space.
