W Hotels is renowned for its ability to create unforgettable experiences. With a strong focus on music, food, energy, and ambiance, it’s no surprise that the W Punta de Mita, situated in the exclusive Nayarit beach enclave, stands out as one of the coolest resorts in the world. Following a recent $3 million renovation, this Mexican paradise now offers guests a truly immersive W experience with a distinct Mexican twist.
A Beachfront Oasis
Set against the stunning backdrop of Punta de Mita’s southern coast, W Punta de Mita showcases beautiful views of the Bay of Banderas and the mountains that surround Puerto Vallarta. The resort exudes an air of both tranquility and vibrant energy, making it the perfect destination for those seeking relaxation and adventure. The resort boasts two separate pool areas, one dedicated to families and the other exclusively for adults, ensuring that guests can find their own personal slice of paradise. The range of accommodations is equally impressive, with rooms scattered throughout the property, including jungle-shrouded retreats and breathtaking beachfront suites.
The recent renovation also included a complete revamp of the guestrooms and suites. The Jungle Rooms now feature enticing additions such as plunge pools, outdoor showers, hammocks, and comfortable loungers. Haven Suites have been transformed with the addition of gardens and fire pits on the outdoor terraces, creating a truly immersive natural experience. However, the most exciting addition to the W Punta de Mita is undoubtedly the five Marvelous Beachfront Suites, each offering a large soaking tub within its own indoor garden. For those seeking even more luxury, the two Wow Beachfront Suites boast private rooftops with sweeping ocean views. The showstopper, though, is the signature E-Wow Suite, which features a fully equipped kitchen, an ocean-facing living and dining room adorned with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and a mesmerizing ambiance that is sure to captivate any guest. Each room category flawlessly blends traditional Nayarit indigenous art and design with the modern-day essence of Punta de Mita’s surf culture and vibrant energy.
An Immersion in Local Culture
Beyond the exceptional accommodations, W Punta de Mita goes beyond the norm to ensure that guests have an opportunity to discover the local area and immerse themselves in Mexican culture. The integration of Huichol design and art is a testament to the resort’s commitment to storytelling and honoring the region’s indigenous heritage. The Huichol or Wixarika people, who are native to this part of Mexico, have inspired the resort’s custom decor. Furthermore, the lobby’s La Caty boutique is dedicated exclusively to local designers, allowing guests to experience the beauty and creativity of Mexican craftsmanship firsthand. Perhaps the most visually stunning feature of the lobby is the mosaic runway, comprised of over 750,000 individual tiles. These vibrant bursts of color extend from the staircase to the central Living Room bar area and eventually lead guests towards the pool, creating a vibrant and visually stimulating experience.
No visit to W Punta de Mita would be complete without indulging in the incredible culinary offerings. Spice Market Punta de Mita, an enchanting and intimate restaurant, offers a seductive ambiance created by dim lighting and glowing lanterns. The menu is a fusion of flavors from Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia, resulting in a truly unforgettable dining experience. For a truly immersive and unique evening, guests can enjoy a private tequila-pairing dinner in the secluded agave garden. Led by Jose, the resort’s tequila expert, guests have the opportunity to explore top-tier tequilas while indulging in a specially designed five-course dinner that perfectly complements each spirit.
Relaxation and Fitness
In addition to these remarkable dining experiences, W Punta de Mita also offers a range of wellness and fitness facilities. The state-of-the-art FIT gym ensures that guests can maintain their fitness routine while enjoying breathtaking views of the surrounding jungle. The lush and tranquil Away Spa provides the perfect escape, allowing guests to rejuvenate their mind, body, and soul with a range of luxurious treatments and therapies.
