Curator’s statement
Punta Mita, on Riviera Nayarit, Mexico has it all. Whether you're looking to sit poolside and relax, or hit the beach for snorkeling and surfing, there is something for everyone in this gated community less than an hour from Puerto Vallarta. Luxury accommodations include 5-star hotels, condos and villas, all situated along the Pacific coast. I love it for families, but Punta Mita is equally enjoyable for couples and solo travelers.
