Oceanfront paradise on exclusive Punta Mita peninsula with private beach club, Jack Nicklaus golf courses, and the only natural island green in the Pacific. Features luxurious casitas with private plunge pools, world-class spa, and multiple gourmet restaurants. Exceptional service with personalized amenities and water sports.
The Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita occupies an exclusive private peninsula jutting into Banderas Bay on the Pacific coast of Nayarit, Mexico, approximately 45 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta International Airport. The resort commands 1,500 acres of tropical headland with two kilometres of pristine beach and direct views of the Marieta Islands. Guests arrive through a private gated entry into a world defined by open-air palapas, lush tropical gardens, and handcrafted stone and wood architecture designed to harmonise with the natural landscape.
Accommodation spans 173 casitas and suites, many featuring private plunge pools, outdoor showers, and ocean or garden terraces. Oceanfront casitas sit directly on the beach, while pool casitas cluster around two main infinity-edge pools overlooking the Pacific. Interiors blend Mexican artisanship — hand-loomed textiles, Talavera ceramics, carved furniture — with contemporary comfort.
Dining centres on four outlets: Aramara, the signature restaurant serving contemporary Pacific Rim cuisine with panoramic bay views; the beachside Bahía Bar offering fresh seafood and cocktails; the adults-only Dos Catrinas cantina with regional Mexican specialties; and the pool bar Ketsi. The Apuane Spa spans 1,200 square metres and offers a treatment menu inspired by indigenous Huichol healing traditions, alongside hydrotherapy, steam rooms, and fitness facilities.
The resort is home to two Jack Nicklaus Signature golf courses, including the celebrated Tail of the Whale hole — the only natural island green in the Pacific, accessible at low tide. The Kids for All Seasons programme provides supervised activities for children, making this an exceptionally well-rounded family destination. Water sports include surfing, paddle boarding, kayaking, and snorkelling with direct access from the beach club. Service levels are exemplary — butlers, personalised amenity setups, and attentive staff define the guest experience, and the resort is widely regarded as one of the finest properties on Mexico's Pacific coast.
