Punta de Mita at the far end of Banderas Bay on a sweeping crescent beach, 45 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta.
Choose from the one-bedroom Casas which are nestled in the jungle or by the beach or the fabulous two-bedroom Casonas (with nanny’s room/study/games room) which sleeps up to six people. Beautifully designed interiors combine the clean lines of Asia with the vibrant colours of Mexico and all rooms at Imanta Punta de Mita come with private pools, the latest technology and fabulous bathrooms.
Imanta's chefs focus on using local, sustainable produce, whether at the casual feet-in-the-sand Catch of the Day or the more refined Tukipa. Cocktails at the rooftop Observatorio Bar are a must at sunset. Indulge in pre-Hispanic inspired treatments at the spa and try the ultimate in saunas: the traditional temazcal or just lie by the pool taking in the mesmerising view.
If you can drag yourself away from your private pool where you may get a ring-side view of whales swimming by, your Imanta experience manager can arrange snorkelling, scuba diving, deep sea fishing, yoga, guided jungle hikes, horseback riding or a round of golf.
Seven of the world’s eight species of turtles come to Banderas Bay at various times throughout the year to lay their eggs. Witnessing the rare hatching of these amazing sea creatures is unique wildlife moment not to be missed.
