One&Only Mandarina
One&Only Mandarina blends chic resort living, tropical relaxation, and authentic outdoor adventure for a one-of-a-kind experience. Rooms and suites take advantage of the surroundings, with dramatic cliffside views over the ocean or immersion in the tropical jungle. However, our favorite rooms for romance are the stunning Treehouse Suites – these standalone villas are nestled among the treetops and feel a world away. Each features a private pool and a design that brings the outdoors in, with all of the luxurious amenities the One&Only brand is known for.
Imanta
Imanta is set along a half-mile of private, sugar-white-sand beach, surrounded by a lush jungle reserve. When we say this is a boutique property, we mean it: this environmentally conscious resort features just 12 accommodations. Some are romantic bungalows seated on top of the dramatic cliffs, while others are multi-bedroom suites perfect for groups of friends or family. Ask your River Oaks Travel concierge to match you to the perfect accommodation option for you.
Casa Tesoro Punta Mita
A stay at Casa Tesoro is more than a home away from home – it feels like the originator of the phrase “getting away from it all”. With a convenient location just 30 minutes from the Puerta Vallarta airport, this oceanfront villa is set above its own pristine beach in Punta Mita, offering the perfect curated escape for up to 18 guests.
St. Regis Punta Mita
The St Regis Punta Mita features 120 guest rooms and suites (plus an ultra-lux Presidential Villa!) with gorgeous views of the ocean and lush grounds. We toured all of the room categories and loved the South of France-meets-Mexico feel to them. Our favorites had private plunge pools – we promise not to tell if you decide to just stay in and order room service!
Conrad Punta Mita
The Conrad Punta Mita opened its doors in early September 2020 in Litibú, making it one of the newest additions to the Punta Mita area. Set along a two-mile stretch of sandy beach, the resort encompasses 324 rooms and suites, all with fabulous views of the ocean and the majestic Sierra de Vallejo. The larger resort size means more room types – our favorite is the two-bedroom suites with kitchens, perfect for families! No matter which room you choose, we love that they all feature bright contemporary design, with decor elements influenced by the local Huichol works of art.
Four Seasons Punta Mita
The Four Seasons chain has many devotees, and in the case of Four Seasons Punta Mita, it is undoubtedly well deserved. Reliability and consistency are paramount nowadays, and everyone from the concierge to the landscapers provided flawless service.
Thanks to a recent renovation, the rooms feature clean contemporary design, private balconies or terraces. We enjoyed our casita amenities – from the signature Four Seasons bed to the bathroom with a decadent deep-soaking tub. Perfect for a relaxing vacation! Since Four Seasons Punta Mita has extensive accommodation options like casitas, residences, or villas, ask your River Oaks Travel concierge which accommodation and location will fit your family or group.
