What they say
Forbes Four-Star
Forbes Travel Guide
2026
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, The 50 Discovery and AFAR.
The gorgeously designed hotel fades into its lush surroundings, allowing the cliffs, jungle and lapping water to take the spotlight.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The resort sits along Jalisco's Costalegre coast, isolated between the quiet fishing villages of Barra de Navidad and La Manzanilla.
The rooms
Cliffside suites open onto 43-foot private plunge pools, and deep bathtubs sit carved into ocean-blue travertine floors.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Three multi-tiered infinity pools step down toward the Pacific, lined with shaded loungers overlooking the headlands.
The spa and fitness studio
Indoor-outdoor treatment suites open onto courtyard soaking tubs, and the light-filled gym includes a row of Pilates reformers.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Coyul
Chef Elena Reygadas shapes the Mexican menu around heirloom corn and seasonal produce harvested from the resort's farm.
Spread across a 3,000-acre peninsula on the Pacific coastline, Tamarindo pays homage to Mexico’s rich heritage and blur the lines between the resort and its surroundings…
At the table
Steps from the surf, Sal serves fresh Pacific seafood beneath an open timber pavilion directly on Majahua Beach.
How it began
Developers built on just two percent of the three-thousand-acre reserve to keep the dry tropical forest intact.
“Perched 200 metres above the beach on a rugged clifftop, the resort offers an unparalleled blend of exclusivity and Four Seasons’ signature luxury.”
