In less than two decades, the magical peninsula known as Punta Mita has blossomed from a small fishing village into a highly exclusive, international residential resort community where residents and visitors come to breathe in the salty air of the Banderas Bay, admire the starry night sky or sneak away to one of its world-class resorts. Located on Mexico’s Riviera Nayarit, Punta Mita is bordered by the sparkling Pacific Ocean on three sides, attracting surfers, sailors and golfers, all of whom are lured by its unique geography, pristine white sand beaches and stunning scenery.
Punta Mita reveals the beauty, details and spirit that have made its star rise so rapidly from its iconic design style, unmatched sense of community and devotion to its natural abundance. And this is only the beginning.
