Aerial drone view of Naya Residences at Punta de Mita

THE PLACE

Pacific mornings. Banderas afternoons. Naya evenings.

Miles of open sand overlooking Banderas Bay, where the rhythm is set by tides, by sunsets, and by the small ceremony of breakfast on a terrace that faces the horizon.

THE SETTING

A strip of coast, on golden sand.

Naya sits beachfront on the Pacific coast of Nayarit, in the Punta de Mita area, immediately next to the W Hotel. The W's restaurants are two hundred metres down the sand — Rubra, Spice Market, and the beach bar, all open to anyone who walks in. The Bay opens south toward the horizon; the beach in front of the property runs swimmable for miles.

THE AMENITY STACK

Resort, without the resort.

Naya is the rare property at Punta de Mita that gives guests the full amenity stack of a larger resort — spa, gym, kids' club, paddle courts, swimmable beach, infinity pool — and a private residence to come home to. No lobby. No crowd. No rate card on the wall. Guests use the amenities like residents do, because for the length of the stay, that's what they are.
