Imanta Resort, Punta De Mita, Mexico

Tucked deep within the lush tropical rainforest of Punta de Mita, Imanta Resort feels like a secret whispered between the jungle and the sea. 

With only 16 secluded villas, this tropical eco-luxury resort unfolds along a private stretch of golden beach, where mountains descend into the Pacific. 

Raw stone, native wood, and open-air spaces blur the line between architecture and nature, creating a sanctuary of wild beauty and understated opulence.

What Makes It Special

• 16 private villas nestled between rainforest and ocean—each with panoramic views and infinity plunge pools.
• Private beach cove framed by volcanic cliffs and lush greenery.
• Holistic jungle spa using natural elements—coconut, cacao, and volcanic stone.
• Sustainable philosophy, blending barefoot luxury with environmental respect.
• Farm-to-table cuisine crafted from organic produce and fresh-caught seafood.
• Helipad access and private guides for whale watching, jungle hikes, or hidden waterfall excursions.

A Day at Imanta Resort

Morning

Wake to the distant crash of waves and the chatter of tropical birds. Enjoy a breakfast of papaya, homemade granola, and fresh coconut water delivered to your terrace.

Afternoon

Kayak through emerald coves or wander jungle trails scented with wild orchids. Lunch is grilled mahi-mahi on the beach, followed by a siesta in a shaded hammock.

Evening

As the sun dips below the ocean, head to the Observatorio Bar perched high above the resort for a mezcal cocktail and views that stretch to infinity. Dinner unfolds beneath the stars—octopus, tamarind sauce, and candlelight.

Night

Return to your villa’s infinity pool as fireflies flicker through the palms, the rainforest humming with life.

Insider Tips for Imanta Resort

• If you can, book an Oceanfront Casa—they’re the most spectacular, with panoramic views, plunge pools, and total privacy.
• Wear insect repellent—mosquitos and jungle bugs are real here.
• Bring water shoes or sandals—paths and rocks near the beach can be uneven.
• Limited restaurant options on-site—quality is high, but the menu doesn’t change much.
• Bring your own snacks—there are no shops or convenience stores nearby.
• Arrange transportation in advance—either through the hotel or a private driver.
