Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita, Mexico

First light brushes the Pacific and the palms answer with a soft rattle; pelicans skim the water like commas in a long, lazy sentence. 

On a private peninsula north of Puerto Vallarta, this 173-key beach retreat pairs Riviera Nayarit’s barefoot rhythm with the polish you expect from Four Seasons—warm tortillas on the griddle, hammocks swaying over hibiscus-lined paths, and two crescent beaches where the tide writes its own itinerary.

What Makes It Special

• Two swimmable beaches on a protected point for sunrise strolls and golden sunsets.
• Multiple pools (including an oceanfront infinity and the playful family pool) plus cabanas.
• Serene spa & temazcal-inspired rituals, marrying local botanicals and sea breezes.
• Taste-forward dining—line-caught fish, wood smoke, hand-pressed tortillas, sunset mezcal.
• On-property golf access nearby (Punta Mita’s famed Pacifico & Bahia courses).
• Extensive kids’ & teens’ programs that let adults truly exhale.

A Day at Four Seasons Punta Mita

Morning

Wake to the hush of surf and a tray of café de olla and papaya with lime. Barefoot to the quieter beach: the sand is cool, pelicans dive, and paddleboards glide over water clear as glass. Chilaquiles arrive poolside, still crackling at the edges.

Afternoon

Snorkel coves where parrotfish flash electric blues; or linger in a shaded cabana while chilled coconuts bead with condensation. A ceviche lesson in the open air—cilantro, serrano, sea—then a siesta as a ceiling fan murmurs.

Evening

Golden hour stretches long over the infinity edge; a margarita kissed with sea salt tastes brighter in the breeze. Dinner is charcoal-grilled catch of the day with sweet corn and epazote.

Night

Walk the beach under constellations so sharp they feel close enough to cup; back in your suite, the linen is cool and the surf is a lullaby.

Insider Tips for Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita

• Ask staff to reserve chairs for you — no need to “play the chair game” like at other resorts.

• Bring a hand fan — bees can be active around poolside cocktails.

• Resort shuttles can take you to nearby resorts like St. Regis for a change of scenery.
• The property is large, but concierge golf carts can pick you up anytime.
• Try the resort’s complimentary classes and activities — from tequila tastings to kids’ programs.
