Iberostar Selection​ Playa Mita

Set along the Pacific coast of Riviera Nayarit, Iberostar Selection Playa Mita sits on a semi-private stretch of golden sand. The mountains lean in close, the sunsets do most of the talking, and our resort holds a quiet oceanfront spot that feels worlds away while staying within easy reach of everything that draws travelers to this corner of Mexico.

The area carries deep roots in Wixárika and Cora culture, and you'll feel that heritage threaded through the design, the art, and the rhythms of daily life on property. A beaded jaguar sculpture in the lobby sets the tone, a stunning piece of Wixárika art that greets you the moment you arrive. Spend a morning watching humpback whales pass through Banderas Bay in winter, take the short drive to the surf town of Sayulita, hike Monkey Mountain, or sail out to the Marietas Islands. Tee times at the Greg Norman-designed Litibú golf course are minutes away.

Back at our Punta Mita hotel, three pools (including an infinity pool and the Aquafun water park) anchor the days, while SPA Sensations offers oceanfront massages and a full hydrotherapy circuit. Our restaurants run from international buffets at El Nopal to teppanyaki at Tsuba and French-inspired plates at Pacific Express. Flexible meeting spaces handle everything from small retreats to receptions of 600. Sustainably run and single-use plastic-free, this Punta Mita hotel is built to give back as good as it gives.
