About Punta Mita

A favourite haunt of Bill Gates and the Kardashians, Punta Mita is the kind of laidback idyllic tropical getaway of your dreams. A fishing village and luxury resort nestling on Mexico's Pacific coast, on a 1500-acre private peninsula looking out over Banderas Bay, it is steeped in multimillion-dollar mansions, private beaches backed by luxury gourmet restaurants, and Jack Nickaualus golf courses. The ideal seaside escape, watersports like surfing, scubadiving and paddleboarding are popular here, as well as in the nearby surfer village of Sayulita, while offshore, far out to sea, are the Marieta Islands - a biodiverse and protected area - where Humpback whales and Blue-footed boobies congregate, and where beautiful, otherwordly hidden beaches like Playa Escondida abound. With crystal-clear aquamarine waters and sand as soft as icing sugar, Punta Mita is an oasis of tranquility and rejuvenation.
