It stands on a cliff in Nauka, a private estate of some 370 hectares between the foothills of the Sierra Madre and the Pacific. Many of the 91 suites and villas have a private pool, and if you like, you can arrive by helicopter or tie up your yacht.
On the headland, two well-known resorts have invested heavily. In 2024 The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort spent 45 million US dollars redesigning rooms, restaurants and spa and added five beach villas with private pools. W Punta de Mita opened eight beachfront suites with plunge pools in 2024, including a two-storey penthouse, along with the restaurant Rubra by Daniela Soto-Innes. In 2026 all of its rooms and suites receive a new design inspired by the art of the region's Indigenous peoples.
Steps down to the sea: At Susurros del Corazón Punta de Mita, three infinity pools cascade down to the beach; one is reserved for adults and has an in-water bar. The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort also stacks three infinity pools, and since 2024 the Marietas Pool has looked out over the Islas Marietas National Park. Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit has an infinity pool facing the bay with the swim-up Aqua Bar.

A pool at your door: At two of the new luxury hotels in Nayarit, the suite comes with its own pool. At Rosewood Mandarina every suite has a private plunge pool, and the two villas have infinity pools. At Siari Riviera Nayarit, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, many suites and villas have their own pool on the cliff.
For long spa days: The SE Spa at Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit has 20 treatment rooms; its Water Journey is a hydrotherapy ritual rooted in Mexican tradition, and children and teens have a spa of their own. At Susurros del Corazón Punta de Mita, all eleven treatment rooms of Onda look out to sea, with seaweed oil and stones, plus yoga and sound healing.

Fire and agave: Codex at Conrad Punta de Mita takes its cue from an ancient Aztec manuscript and serves smoked Pacific oysters and lamb barbacoa. Afterward, Agave Studio guides you through a library of 200 bottles of mezcal and tequila. At Rosewood Mandarina, the beach restaurant makes its tortillas on the comal, and in the evening fish arrives zarandeado-style.
Try pescado zarandeado, a whole fish butterflied over the coals, and aguachile with shrimp in lime and chili. To go with it, order a raicilla, the agave spirit of the Sierra, which people drink on this coast instead of tequila.
The Wixárika, also called Huichol, are known for their colorful bead and yarn art. At W Punta de Mita, the Camino Huichol runs from the entrance to the beach, a mosaic path of more than 750,000 hand-laid tiles full of symbols from this culture.
Conrad Punta de Mita · Punta MitaThe new luxury hotels in Nayarit draw on this heritage too. Rosewood Mandarina pays tribute to Wixárika and Cora craftsmanship, and at Conrad Punta de Mita design and spa follow Huichol culture. For Siari Riviera Nayarit, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, the Mexico City studio Bernardi + Peschard translated the design language of the region.
