Punta de Mita · Riviera Nayarit · Mexico

Punta de Mita

The most exclusive address on Mexico’s Pacific — Jack Nicklaus fairways, Four Seasons service, and $3 fish tacos right outside the gate.

Punta de Mita isn’t a single place — it’s fifteen miles of coastline that contains multitudes. At one end, the 1,500-acre gated peninsula where the Four Seasons and St. Regis anchor estates that run to $32 million and a tasting menu from the World’s Best Female Chef costs $200 a head. At the other, the working fishing beach at El Anclote, where the pangas come in at dawn and the same fish lands on a plastic plate for the price of a coffee back home. That contrast isn’t a flaw. It’s the entire magic of the place — and the reason its market never really blinks.

Our office is in the village, outside the gates, and that’s deliberate. We sell the resort, but we live the corridor: the surf at Punta del Burro (the best wave in Banderas Bay), the Sunday market run to La Cruz, the whale season from December to March. Ten years ago there was exactly one branded option here; today Four Seasons, St. Regis, W, Conrad, Auberge, and the incoming Montage and Pendry give buyers comparisons and leverage they’ve never had before.

Homes & Key Developments

From beachfront luxury towers to gated dockside villas

New & Coming Soon 📍

The 2026 wave The most anticipated arrivals in the region: Montage Punta Mita (63 acres, 91 residences from 2,800 to 11,000 sq ft, plus the Tuka Estates villas) and Pendry Punta Mita (30 acres, 30 residences over the surf breaks) — with dual-resort access between them, an amenity arrangement nothing else on the coast can match. CUORA is taking registrations for new beachfront condos on Ranchos Beach, the Omni & Puntoque Country Club project is pushing the corridor’s frontier north, and Litibu Bay Club — 171 homes on a swimmable beach with Greg Norman golf, from $1.4M — is the most accessible new door into the lifestyle.

Resort Resale 📍

Inside the gates, move-in ready About a hundred properties trade inside the resort at any given time — real liquidity at last. Hacienda de Mita (beachfront plus the 7th fairway, from ~$2.4M) and Las Terrazas (on Pacifico’s 14th, from ~$1.6M) are the proven condo entries; Surf Residences ($4.5M–$6.25M) and Las Marietas (penthouse at $5.99M) hold the upper condo tier. The trophy enclaves — La Punta, Ranchos, Kupuri, Iyari — are where the villas with private beach steps, cinemas, and bowling alleys live. Bellamar, steps from the surf at $875K, remains the quiet entry point.

Outside the Gates 📍

El Anclote & the village Traditional homes and small condos in the town of Punta de Mita run $400K–$1.5M — no resort privileges, but a five-minute walk to the best beach-palapa dining on the coast. For the buyer who wants the address and the surf without the HOA, this is the honest play. Just know what you’re trading: no golf, no beach club, and the village’s charm is exactly its lack of polish.

Shops, Markets & Life

  • Hole 3-B (The Tail of the Whale): The famous natural ocean island green on Punta Mita’s Pacifico Golf Course, requiring a boat to cross at high tide.
  • El Anclote Surf Strip: The active beachfront strip of surf shops, local paddleboard rentals, and traditional palapa restaurants.
  • Susurros del Corazón Spa: A massive, ultra-luxury 31,300-sq-ft wellness sanctuary set inside the Auberge resort.
  • Marietas Islands Hidden Beach: A volcanic crater beach accessed via a swimming tunnel, located just a short panga boat ride offshore.
  • El Anclote Point Break: The gentle, long-riding longboard wave directly in front of the village, popular for beginners.

Lifestyle & Amenities

  • Tintoque Pearl-Harvesting Lore: The pre-Columbian history of the peninsula as *Tintoque*, home to 10,000 native pearl-divers.
  • The Mita Underworld Legend: The indigenous linguistic origin of *Mita* from *Mictlán*, the Aztec underworld.
  • Two Nicklaus Signatures: Access to the exclusive Pacifico and Bahía championship golf courses designed by Jack Nicklaus.
  • Deep-Sea Fishing Records: Renowned deep-sea fishing waters holding world records for blue marlin and wahoo.
  • Exclusive Gated Privacy: A double-gated, high-security 1,500-acre residential peninsula ensuring absolute privacy for high-profile residents.
