Punta Mita
Laid-back Pacific Coast luxury with deep Mexican cultural roots. Think casitas painted in coastal tones, Huichol bead-work accents throughout, tequila-blending classes, and sunset bonfires on the beach. Big enough to have real variety, intimate enough to feel personal.
Book the 'Tail of the Whale' 3B hole experience in advance — it's only playable at low tide and fills up fast
Why It Matters
The only hotel in Riviera Nayarit with a Forbes Five-Star rating in 2024, and one of only 21 properties in all of Mexico to receive Two Michelin Keys. Home to the world's only natural island golf green — the famed 'Tail of the Whale' hole on the Pacifico Course, playable only at low tide. The property also anchors Naviva, a connected adults-only luxury tented camp, giving guests access to two distinct resort experiences.
Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita sits on a 52-acre private peninsula on Mexico's Pacific Coast, about 45 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta airport inside the ultra-private, double-gated 1,500-acre Punta Mita community. The resort finished a comprehensive multi-year renovation and holds a Forbes Five-Star rating, Two Michelin Keys (2024), and a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence across three restaurants. It's the kind of place where the staff remembers your name by day two — and where you can play two Jack Nicklaus-designed golf courses, including a hole that only exists at low tide.
