Punta Mita, on the Riviera Nayarit's Pacific coast, hosts a concentrated collection of high-end resorts where nightly rates typically start above $600. These properties sit on private beaches, most offering all-inclusive or European plan options, with amenities like championship golf courses (St. Regis, Four Seasons), full-service spas, and multiple pools. The area is split between the gated Punta Mita community and the hotel zone directly on Banderas Bay, ideal for families, couples, and golfers seeking oceanfront exclusivity.
