Where to stay
Inside the gates, each community has its own character, from the fairways to the beachfront. This is how our specialists match a group to a community.

Ocean views by the beach club
Villas looking out over Litibú Bay, a few steps or a short golf-cart ride from the Kupuri beach club, with the golf courses and the village of Punta de Mita close by.

Oceanfront, minutes from the golf
Oceanfront houses of your own, a few minutes from both golf courses and from the beach clubs of the peninsula.

Beachfront, facing the islands
Beachfront houses inside the gates of Ranchos Estates, looking out to the Marietas Islands, with access to the beach clubs.

Oceanfront estates by the golf
A secure, private enclave on the oceanfront, with direct access to the golf courses, the Pacific beaches and the beach clubs.

On the fairways
Villas set along the fairways of one of the two Nicklaus courses, inside the private gates, for golfers and for guests who prefer the view of the greens.
The short answer, community by community. A specialist will refine it once we know your dates and your group.

The Haute Retreats difference
Punta Mita has its gates, its courses and its beach clubs. What we add is the planning before you arrive and the people on the ground while you are there.
A 21-day pre-arrival protocol on every booking: preferences and dietary needs captured, the house team briefed, provisioning set, transfers timed to your flights, and a written run-of-stay before you leave home.
Staff and hours differ from villa to villa, and we set them out before you pay. At Casa Marias in Kupuri, for example, the concierge, housekeepers, butler, bartender and a chef for breakfast and lunch work for nine hours a day, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. or 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., with groceries billed separately.
Every guest is greeted in person on arrival with a welcome amenity chosen for the house, and a member of the local team is on hand throughout the stay.
Private chefs, boat days to the Marietas Islands, tee times, surf lessons, a driver for Sayulita and San Pancho, and transfers, arranged by your 24/7 concierge.
Destination guide
A villa is the way to live on the peninsula rather than visit it. Punta Mita is a gated community at the northern tip of the Bay of Banderas, with two Jack Nicklaus Signature golf courses, Pacífico and Bahía, a handful of residents’ beach clubs and, at many houses, a golf cart for getting from one to the other.
Our Punta Mita villas sit in the communities inside the gates. Kupuri Estates looks over Litibú Bay, close to the Kupuri beach club. La Punta Estates has oceanfront houses a few minutes from both golf courses. Ranchos Estates is beachfront, facing the Marietas Islands. Pacífico Estates is a private enclave on the oceanfront, and Lagos del Mar lines the fairways of one of the two Nicklaus courses.
For a large family, Casa Familia sleeps 30 in eleven bedrooms, two of them in a separate casita. Casa del Oso sleeps 24 in ten bedrooms and Casa Palmasola 22 in nine, and Punta Pacífico 7 takes 20 guests in nine bedrooms. Casa Akai, with eight bedrooms for 18, can add a children’s activities director, and the calm water off the Kupuri beach club is a good place for young swimmers to try snorkeling.
Many Punta Mita villas include a private chef for two or three meals a day and daily housekeeping, with groceries billed separately; others offer them as add-ons. At Casa Palmasola a staff of seventeen runs a complete meal plan, and at Estate la Sierra the chef cooks breakfast and lunch. Casa Akai, Casa Noosa, Casa Marias and Jaguar are fully staffed. Several houses also include a golf membership that opens the beach clubs, among them Estate la Sierra, Casa Marias and Punta Pacífico 7.
Guests fly into Puerto Vallarta International (PVR), which has direct flights from many US and Canadian cities. The drive takes 40 to 60 minutes, depending on the house: about 40 to Jaguar, 45 to Estate la Sierra and an hour to Casa Palmasola. Your concierge times the transfer to your flight, and the villa is stocked before you arrive.
Most villas ask for one. Three nights is usual for much of the year and seven over Christmas and New Year, while Casa Marias asks for seven nights all year. We confirm the minimum for your dates in writing.
When to go
Punta Mita is a winter-sun destination, with a different rhythm in each season.
Sunny days, low humidity and the beach at its best. These are the weeks families escaping the northern winter book first.
Warm days and fewer people on the peninsula, for couples and for groups who want privacy.
Warmer days with tropical afternoon showers, green hills and quiet beaches, for long stays and a slower pace.
Pleasant weather before the festive weeks begin, Thanksgiving week included.
Book 9 to 12 months ahead for Christmas, New Year and Easter. For January to April, six to nine months ahead is comfortable.
