Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita
A 52-acre peninsula preserve on Bahía de Banderas with two Jack Nicklaus courses, one holding Tail of the Whale, golf's only natural island hole
The Privata Perspective
Four Seasons has been on the Punta Mita peninsula since September 1999 — a 52-acre nature preserve of its own on Bahía de Banderas, drawn by Diego Villaseñor with Wimberly Allison Tong & Goo. Two Jack Nicklaus courses sit behind it, and the Pacifico's third hole, Tail of the Whale, is the only natural island hole in golf.
One hundred and seventy-seven keys, 139 rooms and 38 suites; the villas, residences and beach homes are counted separately. Four of the five casita types share one 60-square-metre footprint, indoor and outdoor together, so aspect and a plunge pool are all that separate them. The one-bedroom plunge-pool suites more than double that at 151 square metres.
We book it for families and for golfers, and for anyone who wants a Pacific resort with real infrastructure behind it — ten tennis courts, five restaurants, a thirteen-room spa. December to April is the dry, settled stretch and the one to book early; the summer months are hotter and wetter, and priced accordingly.
Accommodations
Garden Casita
60 m² 645 sq.ft. of indoor and outdoor space
Thirty-three of them, the entry category, on the same footprint as the ocean and oceanfront casitas
Ocean Casita
60 m² 645 sq.ft. of indoor and outdoor space
Seventy-nine keys, the largest single block here — the identical footprint turned toward the water
Oceanfront Plunge Pool Suite (One Bedroom)
151 m² 1,625 sq.ft.
Nine of them, with a plunge pool and the operator's oceanfront aspect rather than an ocean view
Ocean Plunge Pool Suite (Two Bedroom)
211 m² 2,270 sq.ft.
One only, and the largest hotel key on the property — everything above it is a villa, residence or beach home, let separately

Asian — the cuisine is the operator's own one-word description, and it publishes nothing further

The steak and seafood room, and one of five restaurants on the portal list
Dos Catrinas
Mexican
The Mexican kitchen, and the venue the press sheet names first of the resort's restaurants
