Punta de Mita

 Luxe, Secluded, Refined

Punta de Mita is Mexico’s answer to discreet luxury. Located on the northern edge of Banderas Bay in the state of Nayarit, this gated peninsula community has become a magnet for high-end weddings, celebrity retreats, exclusive incentives, and bespoke brand activations. Known for its ultra-private villas, world-class surf, and five-star resorts, it’s a destination where events are elevated by design, scenery, and serenity.

While it shares the same bay as Puerto Vallarta, Punta de Mita feels worlds apart. Access is controlled, development is limited, and the mood is all about quiet sophistication. The region’s most prestigious venues include Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita, The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort, and Susurros del Corazón — each offering full-service event planning, gourmet culinary teams, ocean-view terraces, and spa-focused group programming. Events here tend to feel polished, intimate, and deeply curated.

The beaches of Punta de Mita are among the most pristine in Mexico. Playa Fortuna, Playa El Anclote, and the hidden coves along the northern tip are popular for ceremonies, yoga sessions, and cocktail hours by the sea. Offshore, the Marietas Islands — a protected national park — provide a unique eco-excursion for groups wanting snorkelling, wildlife viewing, or a beach picnic on the famous Hidden Beach.

This destination also attracts surf and golf enthusiasts. Nearby La Lancha beach is a surf hotspot, while the Pacifico and Bahia golf courses (designed by Jack Nicklaus) offer stunning oceanfront fairways for corporate outings or VIP leisure add-ons.

Private villas — such as those within Kupuri Estates, Ranchos Estates, and Lagos del Mar — are often the preferred venues for weddings and milestone celebrations. These properties come with in-house chefs, concierge teams, and cliffside pools, making them ideal for groups seeking full privacy and custom event design.

Punta de Mita is accessed via Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR), roughly 45 minutes by car. Pre-arranged transfers, luxury SUVs, and concierge arrivals are standard. While the area is not built for mass tourism, it thrives on exclusivity — event sizes typically range from 20 to 150 people.

Event types that flourish here include luxury destination weddings, executive retreats, influencer gatherings, celebrity-styled anniversaries, and wellness-led brand immersions. It’s a place where high expectations are met with ease and discretion.

Local experiences can include sunset sailing, indigenous Huichol art workshops, tequila and mezcal tastings, and farm-to-table dining experiences at nearby San Pancho or Sayulita. These nearby towns also offer creative escapes for event guests seeking contrast from Punta de Mita’s tranquillity.

Infrastructure is sleek, secure, and tailored for high-spend travellers. Planners can rely on bilingual teams, high-end caterers, event stylists, and local cultural liaisons to execute seamless, story-rich events.

The biggest challenges? Availability (especially in peak months from December to April) and cost — both a reflection of its desirability. But for clients who want to deliver a deeply immersive and luxurious Mexican event without compromise, Punta de Mita delivers like few others.
