Why is Punta Mita a destination you must visit

Shortly after its 20th anniversary, the luxury resort and residential enclave near Puerto Vallarta presents its new plans for this year…

In 1999, the quiet peninsula located north of Puerto Vallarta was transformed into a private, fenced-in resort with its residential community, which at the time was a completely new concept. Since then, this 1,500-acre coastal paradise has grown to feature two lavish resorts, multi-million-dollar villas and amenities like a beach club, tennis center and two high-end golf courses. With a focus on discretion, security and leisure, Punta Mita is a favorite site of the rich and famous - even Bill Gates owns his own piece of this Eden.

Twenty years after its initial launch, this developing project has earned its loyal clientele and does not stop at doing anything that can fascinate them. From new, ultra-luxury homes and villas to new resorts and establishments, Punta Mita has a lot to offer as it enters its third decade. This time, we show you five reasons why you should visit her as soon as possible.

One of the latest Punta Mite residences to rent, it is also one of the best on offer. Created by architects Manolo Mestre and Juan Colignon, Casa Tau is a twelve-bedroom oceanfront property located in the Ranchos Estate area, which comes with its own security gate. Guests will be greeted upon arrival by the General Manager of the villa, who oversees its operation and the services of six butlers, cooks and kitchen staff, as well as six housekeepers.

Along with modern guest rooms, ranging from a master suite overlooking the ocean from a freestanding tub to a garden suite with a meditation path, the house comes with a media room, gym, central Sonos digital sound system and a spa where you can enjoy treatments facials and massages. Villa guests have access to all of Punta Mita's amenities, which will cost them between $ 11,500 and $ 27,000 per night.

In the heart of this peninsula are two five-star resorts - the 177-room Four Seasons Resort and the 120-room St.Regis Punta Mita. Following years of multi-million dollar renovation processes, Four Seasons now features upgraded guest rooms and suites signed by UribeKrayer, a Mexico-based company. Each unit has private terraces overlooking the ocean and the décor of the environment. Guests also have a new Dos Catrinas restaurant serving a modern version of traditional Mexican dishes, with specialty cocktails. The renovated Apuiane Spa now offers hydrotherapy facilities, healthy eating options, genetics-based wellness programs and more.

St. Regis brand offers private butlers, Remede Spa and ritual tea twice a week. Here, guests can visit the Avocado Vegan Bar, where they can enjoy all kinds of delicacies. At elegant Carolina Restaurant, which is the Five Diamond restaurant in this part of the world, award-winning chef Miguel Soltero prepares creative menus, which are a fusion of traditional flavors created with innovative techniques.

Golf has always been one of the key aspects of Punta Mita, with newcomers and professionals just waiting for their turn to try out for two championship courses - Bahia Golf Course and Pacifico Golf Course.
