W Punta de Mita

A chic beachfront resort inspired by the area’s Wixarica and Huichol cultures, W Punta de Mita is Mexico’s most Instagrammable resort. Set on one of the country’s most iconic surf breaks, this idyllic 126-room haven has undergone a multi-staged, multi-million dollar renovation, now offering the most stylish beachfront, private plunge pool suites in the destination, alongside two oceanfront pools, a full-service spa edged into the Riviera Nayarit jungle, and wellness activities ranging from cacao ceremonies to beach ice baths and surf lessons. In terms of cuisine, this resort is putting the region on the map, home to Jean Georges’ Spice Market; an exclusive one-table restaurant, MESA1; a 1950s Chevy truck-turned into a ceviche bar, Chevycheria; a Jose Cuervo speakeasy; and James Beard Award-winning Chef Daniela Soto-Innes’ first restaurant in Mexico, RUBRA—a new immersive culinary masterpiece by the world’s greatest female Chef.
