What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
More stylish and party-oriented than most of its counterparts in Punta Mita, this hotel likes to play up its proximity to surf-chic Sayulita.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The resort sits along the secluded Los Veneros beachfront, flanked by coastal jungle and surf breaks on the Pacific.

The rooms
Tiled villas have headboards made from surfboards or punctured tin. Redesigned beachfront suites open onto private plunge pools.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
A beachfront infinity pool has a transparent acrylic wall, and the gym looks straight into the tropical jungle.
The spa
Stone treatment pavilions sit above a water lily pond, where therapies include cacao ceremonies and singing bowl sound healing.
At the table
Chef Daniela Soto-Innes directs contemporary Mexican cooking at Rubra. The Living Room Bar pours cocktails beneath hundreds of hanging votive glasses.
