For a fantastic summer vacation travel agent Jenny Westerman spent 6 nights at Four Season Punta Mita. This property has the finest service Four Seasons offers and the most relaxing environment for a summer escape. Stay in one of the luxurious suites with a plunge pool, and enjoy your own private paradise like Jenny.

Four Seasons Punta Mita offers a wide assortment of activities on-site. Don't miss the free-form infinity-edge pool over looking the ocean or the Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course on-site.  The Pacifico Golf Course was named the number one golf course in the world by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler in 2008. You will also find deep sea fishing, scuba diving, seasonal whale-watching, snorkeling, hiking, tennis, and historical tours. Don't want a lot of activity - just relax in the sun on a beach bed as Jenny did.

 

The Apuane Spa offers a full range of treatments designed to encourage relaxation, renewal and recharging.  They have three completely private outdoor locations for treatments, and even offer in-room services.

Four Seasons Punta Mita offers a wide range of dining options for guests with four restaurants and in-room dining. All offer imaginative menus with a focus on local Mexican cuisine and the freshest ingredients.  Aramara serves a blend of far east and Mexican dishes. Relax while you dine by the beach at Bahia, or perhaps take a cooking class there and immerse yourself in the local flavors. Ketsi by Richard Sandoval has open-air dining by the pool for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And while you're out on the golf course stop by Tail of the Whale for a great lunch and great views of both the Pacific Ocean and two signature Jack Nicklaus golf courses.
