Punta Mita, Nayarit

The Riviera Nayarit's crown jewel and the center of luxury along Mexico's Pacific Coast is Punta Mita, which is home to five-star hotels including The Four Seasons and St. Regis. But Punta Mita offers much more than just star-studded lodging. It just happens to be one of Mexico's premier surfing locations.

La Lancha, a reef break near Punta Mita, is a favorite among longboarders because it has what seems to be an endless wave. There is also The Cove, where experienced surfers can find faster waves. Continue traveling north to Sayulita, a small surf town turned boho getaway in Nayarit, if you're looking for more reasonably priced lodging. Sayulita offers fantastic surf conditions of its own that mix well with the relaxed beach ambiance. Here, the waves are calm and ideal for novices. You can go one step further and travel to San Pancho, the town next to Sayulita, which is even more quiet. With the year-round balmy climate, breathtaking beaches, and vibrant culture of Mexico, this private peninsula in the Riviera Nayarit will immediately capture your heart!
