    Go on an exclusive journey through Mexico's wild beauty

    Discover the aquatic playground of Mexico's Pacific Coast

    The Pacific Coast of Mexico invites you to explore a region packed full of breathtaking landscapes and vibrant culture, a quieter alternative to the busier Caribbean shores. From the allure of Punta Mita with its luxurious resorts and the charming Puerto Vallarta with its cobbled streets, exciting arts scene and enticing restaurants – you’ll get to experience a genuine immersion into all that Mexico has to offer. Head south and you’ll discover more beautiful resorts in Manzanillo, as well as expansive wildlife reserves in the secluded Cuixmala. 

    This sun-drenched coastline boasts stunning beaches that are excellent for swimming, surfing and a variety of other thrilling watersports. Dip beneath the surface of the crystal-clear waters around the Marieta Islands and discover a thriving marine ecosystem, or hang ten when you visit the surf town of Sayulita.

    Beyond the waves, the Pacific Coast is a destination wonderfully suited to families – from curious little ones to adventurous teens. There is so much to discover. Depending on where you choose to stay, you can fill your time here with fun horseback rides, movie nights under the stars, storytelling around roaring beach bonfires and mouth-watering culinary explorations.

    With easy connections from the rest of Mexico, the Pacific Coast makes for an excellent place to bring your luxury exploration of the country to a close. Take the time to immerse yourself in the local culture and natural beauty, enjoying experiences and activities chosen to suit your interests and pace.

    Luxury accommodation in the Pacific Coast

    There are many incredible places to stay in the Pacific Coast. Here are some of our favourites, handpicked by our travel designers:

    Punta Mita

    Imanta
    Situated along a two-mile stretch of private beach within its own private reserve and overlooking, Imanta is a little slice of heaven on the Pacific side of Mexico. Although the property is set on 250 acres of jungle and coastal land, there are just 12 luxury villas nestled amnongst the tropical palms. There are ten one-bedroom casas and two three-bedroom casonas, made from local stone with a distinctive soft pink hue. Interiors feature contemporary Mexican decor with textiles embroidered by the local community and lots of natural materials, including huge bath tubs carved from rock in some of the suites. Many of them also feature private plunge pools. The larger casonas are perfect for small groups and have their own living and dining areas, private pool and Jauzzi and outdoor dining area. There is also the option for a private chef so you really don’t have to worry about a thing. Located a five-minute drive from the main hotel is the Treehouse, an exquisite three-level accommodation that is the ultimate escape. Guests are free to use the facilities at the hotel, but are far enough away to enjoy total seclusion and privacy. Imanta boasts two fantastic restaurants; the relaxed Catch of the Day, serving a lunch menu of Mexican dishes and fresh seafood right on the beach, and the elegant Tukipa, serving delicious seasonal cuisine for breakfast and dinner. And don’t miss the super romantic Observatorio bar, with fabulous cocktails and incredible views. Other facilities on the property include a relaxing spa, with open-top cabins that let you appeciate the sounds of the ocean and the forest, and a fitness centre. There is so much to discover here, and during your stay at Imanta you can bike and hike through the reserve, kayak and snorkel the pristine waters, and even play golf at the nearby 18-hole course.

    When to visit

    The best time to visit Mexico’s Pacific coast is generally during the dry season, from November to April, when you can expect sunny days and comfortable temperatures. It’s also great weather for enjoying the beaches and a wide variety of outdoor activities. The cooler months (December to February) are still fine for travelling, however it’s also the wet season and rains are common.
