Why Buyers Choose Punta Mita
Punta Mita real estate represents the pinnacle of the Riviera Nayarit market. This gated peninsula at the northwestern tip of Banderas Bay combines internationally renowned resorts, Jack Nicklaus signature golf, private beach clubs, and world-class surf — about 45 minutes from Puerto Vallarta’s international airport. And just outside the gates, the beach village of El Anclote offers the same coastline with a more relaxed point of entry.
Resort-Level Living
A gated peninsula anchored by world-renowned resorts — with the privacy, security and service to match.
Championship Golf
Jack Nicklaus signature courses where fairways run to the ocean’s edge — golf with whales on the horizon.
World-Class Waves
Some of the bay’s best surf breaks sit right off the peninsula — boards in the morning, beach club by noon.
The Marietas at Your Door
The protected Marietas Islands sit just offshore — snorkeling, wildlife and the famous hidden beach.
What Life in Punta Mita Feels Like
Days here are effortless by design. A morning surf at a point break, eighteen holes with the Pacific on three sides, lunch at a beach club with the Marietas Islands on the horizon. Everything is taken care of — security, service, landscaping, logistics — so your time is entirely yours.
And when you want a change of pace, the fish tacos of El Anclote, the galleries of San Pancho and the buzz of Sayulita are all a short drive up the coast.

Punta Mita Real Estate — Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Punta Mita and how do I get there?
Punta Mita occupies the peninsula at the northwestern tip of Banderas Bay in Riviera Nayarit, roughly 45 minutes to an hour from Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR). Direct flights from most major U.S. and Canadian cities make it one of the most accessible luxury destinations in Latin America.
What is Punta Mita known for?
Punta Mita is Riviera Nayarit’s flagship luxury destination: a gated resort peninsula anchored by internationally renowned resorts, Jack Nicklaus signature golf courses, private beach clubs, and some of the region’s finest villas and residences. Just offshore lie the protected Marietas Islands, and the neighboring village of Punta de Mita adds surf, seafood restaurants, and everyday charm.
Can Americans and Canadians own property in Punta Mita?
Yes. Like all of coastal Mexico, Punta Mita is in the restricted zone, so foreign buyers own through a fideicomiso — a renewable bank trust that gives you full rights to use, rent, remodel, sell, or leave the property to your heirs. It’s the same safe, well-established structure used by foreign owners throughout the resort and the surrounding communities.
Is Punta Mita only for ultra-luxury buyers?
The gated resort community is a true luxury market — but the wider Punta de Mita area, including the beach town of El Anclote just outside the gates, offers condos and homes at a broader range of price points, with the same beaches, surf, and sunsets. Steve can show you options on both sides of the gate.
Is Punta Mita a good place for rental income?
Punta Mita attracts affluent travelers year-round, and luxury villas and well-located condos serve a rental market that values privacy, service, and resort amenities. Nightly rates at the top end are among the strongest in the region. Steve can walk you through realistic expectations for specific properties and communities.

Start with a conversation. Tell Steve what you’re dreaming about — a resort villa, a golf-front residence, a surf-side condo in El Anclote, or an investment property — and he’ll hand-pick options across the peninsula that actually fit your goals and budget.
