Some of our Punta Mita Collections:

A favourite haunt of Bill Gates and the Kardashians, Punta Mita is the kind of laid-back idyllic tropical getaway of your dreams. Life in Punta Mita moves at your pace. Spend the morning paddleboarding along glassy waters or catching a surf break at La Lancha before retreating to a spa that opens onto the jungle. Golfers can tee off with Pacific views on signature Jack Nicklaus courses, while culture-seekers browse local galleries and crafts in nearby Sayulita and San Pancho. Foodies are spoiled — from freshly grilled catch-of-the-day served toes-in-the-sand to bold contemporary Mexican plates in design-forward restaurants. Many resorts offer immersive culinary experiences too, with agave tastings, ceviche workshops or oceanfront fine dining.

After dark, the scene is mellow but magnetic — sunset cocktails, live music under the stars, or simply watching the fire pits glow. Looking for something more low-key? Take it slow in a beachfront casita, wander hidden coves, or soak in a plunge pool with the soundtrack of cicadas and crashing waves. Whether you're planning a romantic escape, family adventure, or wellness retreat, the best places to stay in Punta Mita blend lush nature, indulgent comfort and curated experience.
