Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita

Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita

Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita spreads across two beaches on Mexico's Riviera Nayarit, a short drive from Puerto Vallarta, and it built its rooms around private terraces with plunge pools facing the Pacific, so mornings start on your own deck before you reach the sand. This is a resort for staying in one place and wanting for nothing: the adults-only Tamai Pool sits apart from a lazy river and the family-oriented Nuna pool, and villas with up to four bedrooms give groups their own gate and garden. What separates it from other beachfront resorts on this coast is The Rock, a dining table built into an oceanfront outcrop, one of thirteen restaurants and bars that include Aramara's Pan-Asian menu, beachside Bahia, and the traditional cooking of Dos Catrinas. Two golf courses and a genuine water sports program, sailing, diving, windsurfing, fill the days for guests who want more than a lounger, and a sea turtle release program along with tequila blending sessions give the place a sense of where it is. Families are looked after properly, with a kids club, a playground, and babysitting freeing up adults for Apuane Spa's treatments, sauna, and steam room. Couples wanting total seclusion should look elsewhere; this is a large, sociable property built for groups as much as pairs, with its own event and meeting facilities and a business center. It also isn't for anyone hoping to walk to a village at night, since the resort sits apart from town. What stays with you afterward is not the pool count but a table on The Rock at sunset, close enough to the water that the ocean does the talking. Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita pairs two beaches on Mexico's Riviera Nayarit with plunge-pool terraces, two golf courses, and thirteen restaurants, but its real signature is The Rock, an oceanfront dining spot no other resort nearby can copy. It suits families and groups more than couples chasing total quiet.
