Punta Mita Villas: The Estates of Mexico's Private Peninsula

Destination guide

Punta Mita Villas: The Estates of Mexico's Private Peninsula

Mexico's most exclusive private peninsula: what makes Punta Mita special, and the estates in our collection — from Palmasola to Casa Koko.

Punta Mita isn't a destination — it's a 1,500-acre private peninsula with controlled access, two Jack Nicklaus golf courses and some of the most extraordinary homes in Mexico. Villas here don't compete with hotels; they share the peninsula with the St. Regis and Four Seasons and often outclass them: full staff, dedicated chef, semi-private beaches and Pacific sunsets from your own infinity pool.

What makes Punta Mita different?

Controlled access changes everything: only residents, resort guests and villa guests enter the peninsula. The result is a calm you can't find in Vallarta or Cancún — beaches without vendors, immaculate roads and world-class security.

It's 45 minutes from Puerto Vallarta's airport, with Sayulita and San Pancho 20 minutes away for a bohemian contrast. Golf, surf at La Lancha, humpback whales December through March, and the Marietas Islands offshore.

The estates in our Punta Mita collection

Villa Palmasola (up to 22 guests) — the peninsula's flagship: an oceanfront hacienda-style compound with a staff of 10+, ranked among Latin America's finest villas.

Casa Koko (up to 24 guests) — award-winning contemporary architecture on the beach, with its own spa and cinema. Casa Querencia (up to 18) and Casa Majani (up to 12) complete the ultra-luxury tier — both oceanfront with full service teams.

Rates run from roughly $7,000-17,000 USD/night depending on season — the range of the best homes on the American Pacific — and include staff and chef; the Sotavento concierge handles the rest.

When to go — and when to book

November through May is the dry, golden season: clear skies, calm seas and humpbacks on the horizon. December-January and Easter book 6-12 months out — the large estates literally sell out.

Summer is the green season: gentler rates, dramatic sunsets and the peninsula at its most private. For flexible groups, it's the best value of the year.

How booking Punta Mita works with Sotavento

Tell us dates, group size and the occasion, and we come back with available estates and an all-in quote — taxes and fees included, no surprises. A deposit secures your dates and our concierge takes it from there: chef menus, PVR transfers, tee times, surf, yachts and celebrations.

If the house you want is taken, we know the peninsula's operators and fight for real alternatives at the same level — no ghost listings.
