Four Seasons Punta Mita – An Adults-Only Resort
Sometimes queer travelers just want to get away to a fun travel destination that’s kid’s free, and now they have an option at the Four Seasons Punta Mita (Naviva). This is the luxury travel brand’s first adults-only tented resort in the Americas.
The 48-acre resort – featuring 15 luxury tents – is situated on the northern tip of Bahía de Banderas, which is an hour’s drive from the Puerto Vallarta International Airport as well as Puerto Vallarta‘s gayborhood, Zona Romántica. But even though it’s not opening until Dec. 1, you can book your stay at this secluded luxury resort now!
During their stay, guests are surrounded by the lush forests of the Riviera Nayarit and sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. Inspired by the idea of naturaleza viva, or live naturally, the resort allows guests to connect with the land, sea, follow guests, and most importantly themselves.
“The Naviva Resort will be an exceptional retreat for those seeking highly individualized service, curated wellness experiences, and artful culinary offerings that reflect the culture and character of Mexico,” said, Bart Carnahan, President, Global Business Development and Portfolio Management for Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. “This is an ambitious and innovative new project for our brand, with every detail focused on the wellbeing of the guests, the sustainability of the design, and the celebration of the destination.”
The Naviva Resort Experience
Ahead of arrival, guests are matched with a personal guide to create a bespoke itinerary based on their specific needs and desires and choosing from a range of experiences, while also providing the space and freedom for guests to unwind and explore on their own.
Guests will be immersed in the natural design from the moment of arrival, meeting their guides on a cocoon-inspired bamboo bridge overlooking a 30-foot ravine. The design aesthetic continues with butterfly-inspired guest tents perched on hillsides, each with private pools and expansive decks, and many with outdoor gardens.
With support from local experts, the resort’s onsite programming is designed to allow for personalized experiences such as one-on-one interactions with the Resort executive chef; personal training sessions in the outdoor gym experience; private dinners with sweeping ocean views and bespoke menus; or exploring Mexico’s hidden wine and spirits scene.
The Naviva Resort is perfect for solo travelers, couples, or those traveling with close friends and loved ones. With most offerings included as part of the stay, and a digital detox highly encouraged, guests will be able to fully relax, rejuvenate, and explore.
