Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita spreads 177 casita-style rooms and suites across a 52-acre private peninsula on Bahía de Banderas, where the Pacific Ocean and the Sierra Madre frame two private beaches linked by tropical gardens, pools and fairways. A 45-minute drive from Puerto Vallarta airport in Mexico's Riviera Nayarit, the resort has held a Forbes Five Star rating for ten consecutive years and carries AAA Five Diamond status. Tile-roofed casitas follow a contemporary Mexican coastal vocabulary of wood, local art and open terraces facing the sea or gardens; oceanfront casitas and all suites add private plunge pools. Stand-alone villas and beach homes sleep up to ten with private pools, outdoor showers, gyms, media rooms, a full-time host and a six-seater golf cart. The Rock, a cliff jutting over the Pacific, is the resort's most iconic perch, sunset yoga and intimate celebrations unfold above the waves.
Executive Chef Jorge González oversees eleven dining and bar venues. Dos Catrinas anchors contemporary Mexican cuisine; Bahía, a Richard Sandoval steak-and-seafood restaurant, faces the bay; Aramara brings Asian flavors, all three earned 2025 Wine Spectator awards. MEZ pours more than 70 mezcals against an ocean backdrop. Hakari Cultural Center turns local heritage into hands-on memory: tequila blending, chocolate-making, Huichol art workshops. Apuane Spa draws on pre-Hispanic healing traditions with a couples' suite, beachfront twilight massage palapa and full hydrotherapy circuit; the new Pilates & Posture Lab extends the mind-body offering. Two Jack Nicklaus championship courses include the Tail of the Whale, whose 3B hole sits on the world's only natural island green, at high tide you take a boat to the tee. The free-form Nuna infinity pool faces the Pacific, the adults-only Tamai pool offers quiet sunbathing, and the Lazy River circling the Oasis lets you hand your schedule to the current.
