Dedicated round-the-clock butler service handles unpacking and morning coffee, alongside poolside concierge care across the private estate.
An expansive spa features an ancestral Huichol Temazcal sweat lodge ritual, hydrothermal circuits, and oceanfront morning yoga.
A 22-acre oceanfront campus offering tiered infinity pools, Marine Safari excursions, Jack Nicklaus golf access, and water sports.
On a private 22-acre beachfront estate within the gated Punta Mita peninsula, far from city crowds.
“Checking into The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort doesn’t really feel like the traditional check-in process.”
Rooms
Accommodations feature exposed-beam ceilings, terra-cotta floors, and marble bathrooms with both indoor and outdoor showers opening onto private terraces.
“A hushed elegance defines the St. Regis Punta Mita, and a late 2023 renovation breathed new life into an aging property.”
Wellness
The expansive spa houses hydrothermal circuits, cold plunge pools, and a traditional Temazcal sweat lodge with ceremonies guided by a local shaman.
Backstory
First opened in 2008, the estate underwent a forty-five million dollar transformation, blending coastal hacienda architecture with handcrafted Mexican furnishings.
Eat & drink
Evenings begin with champagne sabering at Altamira Lobby Bar, followed by beachfront seafood at Mita Mary or modern Mexican tasting menus at Carolina.
The neighborhood
Set on a private peninsula in Riviera Nayarit, the secluded estate borders two championship golf courses and nearby coastal fishing villages.

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.
