Accommodation

Built in 1999, the Four Seasons Punta Mita underwent a refurbishing in 2013. It added a bright, Mexican-themed flair to their 173 guestrooms and 31 suites. The resort maintains a tropical theme with palapa-style roofs, local art and an almost seamless blending of indoor-outdoor living. Therefore, it was designed to take maximum advantage of the stunning beaches just a few steps away. The lobby features floor-to-ceiling windows that display the turquoise ocean beyond to the best effect. Guests can wander from indoor spaces into the lush flower gardens and vast lawns framing each building.
