Situated on the shores of the Pacific Ocean along Mexico’s picturesque Riviera Nayarit lies Conrad Punta de Mita, the first-ever Conrad resort from Hilton to land in Mexico.
Conrad Punta de Mita’s stunning property includes three pools, all of which feature breathtaking ocean views.
Opened in September 2020, the 324-room property invites guests to indulge in relaxation and luxury from dawn until dusk thanks to myriad dining options, an elegant on-site spa and much more. Soak up the sun on its 2-mile-long beach or retreat to a lounge chair by one of its three pools as cocktails are delivered to you from the nearby Paleta pool bar. (Try the mezcal-spiked El Nopal sipper for a true taste of Mexico.) Either way, prepare for a vacation that’s sure to make a splash, whether you’re traveling with little ones or enjoying a romantic getaway to remember.
The Conrad Spa allows relaxation enthusiasts to unwind in outdoor lounge areas among lush landscaping or experience treatments in alfresco spaces.
Intended to embrace Riviera Nayarit’s naturally lush topography, global architecture firm SB Architects designed Conrad Punta de Mita to seamlessly blend in with its surroundings. Indoor-outdoor escapes are seen throughout the property, from the beachside Mezquite restaurant, where the sand serves as its floor, to oceanfront rooms complete with their own private terraces and plunge pools—just steps from the crashing waves. Book one of Conrad’s spacious suites, which range in size from 1,460 square feet to 3,240 square feet, to experience its most luxe accommodations. (The penthouse ocean view suite scores you a private agave spirit tasting for two plus a daily cabana at the pool, among other charmed amenities.)
Book a private dining experience in Árbol restaurant’s Agave Studio.
From there, explore all that Riviera Nayarit has to offer, both on and off property. Enjoy the Marieta Islands Hidden Beach tour, in partnership with Vallarta Adventures, to be whisked away by boat to a paradise where snorkeling, swimming and sightings of humpback whales await. Adventure enthusiasts will be equally delighted by the chance to board a speedboat that jets across Banderas Bay to access zip lining, hiking, horseback riding and ATV excursions. Dolphin encounters; teeing off at the nearby 18-hole, Greg Norman-designed Litibu Golf Course; and culturally immersive tours of the quaint towns of San Juan de Abajo and San José del Valle are also on offer.
Take in the sights of Mexico’s gorgeous Riviera Nayarit region from Conrad Punta de Mita.
On property, the 10,000-square-foot Conrad Spa enchants with seven outdoor cocoon-style treatment rooms, plus Hilton’s first-ever traditional Temazcal, where a local shaman will lead you through an ancient cleansing ritual full of chanting, herbal steaming and meditation. When hunger strikes, four restaurants and three bar concepts offer plenty of options for dining in style. Don’t miss Árbol restaurant’s seven-course Mexican Agave Dinner to enjoy a unique selection of distilled agave spirits and infused beverages in the privacy of the charming Agave Studio. Meanwhile, seafood lovers will adore the Zarandeado Experience at the beachfront Mezquite restaurant, where executive chef Victor Palma utilizes a 500-year-old grilling method to prepare fresh fish right before your eyes. Finally, menus inspired by the phases of the moon take center stage at the brand-new Codex signature restaurant, ensuring your dining moments are surely ones to remember. Let the fiesta begin.
