The exclusive W Punta de Mita is part of Los Veneros, a pretty beachfront gated community on Punta Mita ( Banderas Bay) just 20 minutes' drive north of Puerto Vallarta. The property is extremely design-focussed and, although modernity is key, it's also very Mexican, encompassing all that's trendy and trending in Mexico from a wide range of mezcals to Frida Kahlo-influenced modern art.
There are three ways to get around the property. Walk, scoot yourself around or call a golf cart to explore the extensive property. Guest rooms are peppered throughout the gardens, ocean frontage and around the lake. They are equipped with sumptuous contemporary furnishings and a range of hi-tech amenities.
There's a large pool area with lots of little 'chill out' places where drinks can be served. Restaurants range from Asian to typical Mexican, including a beach front taqueria. The spa area has a comprehensive menu of treatments and a wonderful jungle setting.
