Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita
Riviera Nayarit, Mexico
Punta Mita
Vibe
Open palapa pavilions and shaded daybeds trace coastal bluffs, framing days spent drifting between quiet beaches and panoramic infinity pools.
“Pacific beachfront flagship”
Wading surfside beverage service, oceanfront casitas with plunge pools, and attentive multi-pool concierge care.
Two private beaches, a winding lazy river, and golf with an oceanfront island green.
Palapa-roofed open architecture, handwoven Mexican textiles, and two-story dining venues crafted from local huanacaxtle wood.
On a private 52-acre peninsula estate overlooking Bahía de Banderas, surrounded by oceanfront beaches and gardens.
“any room, suite, or villa will get you flowy, beach-boho accommodations with to-die-for ocean vistas.”
Rooms
Casitas feature louvered doors and Mexican artwork, while select suites open onto private terraces with plunge pools overlooking the ocean.
“Standout attentiveness from the staff is exemplified by the amphibious waiters who wade into the sea to deliver refreshments to thirsty guests…”
Wellness
Apuane Spa pairs hydrotherapy circuits and eucalyptus steam rooms with signature treatments using warm nopal cactus gel and tequila-infused oils.
“Red-roof garden casitas are done in a sea-and-sand palette, with Mexican art and louvered doors.”
Eat & drink
Two-story Dos Catrinas showcases regional Mexican fare under local timber, while Bahía serves fresh coastal catches directly on the sand.
“Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita has, for over two decades, been the go-to destination for the well-heeled looking to escape the harsh northern hemisphere winters.”
The neighborhood
Set within a secluded peninsula estate on Bahía de Banderas, with the bohemian surf breaks of Sayulita a short drive north.
“the curation of the artwork at the Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita, including vibrant paintings and provocative sculptures all around the property, was among my favorite design details…”
The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
