A private peninsula in Mexico, Punta Mita is a paradise with outstanding natural beauty. It is also a fantastic and exclusive tourist destination for nature lovers and even city-dwellers rewarding themselves with a soulfully relaxing change of scenery. Thanks to the Pacific Ocean, this slice of heaven on Earth is blessed with emerald waters and powdery white sand. Here, you can swim, paddleboard, windsurf, and scuba dive. After days of enjoying Playa Punta De Mita, Playa Nayarit, Litibu Bay, and Banderas Bay, you may want to experience golfing at the world-class Pacifico Golf Course Punta Mita Mexico.
Why visit Punta Mita?
According to US News & World Report, Punta Mita is among the best places to vacation in Mexico. If you visit between December and March, you may even catch a glimpse of the humpback or orca whales here.
The community is also home to two amazing golf courses designed by Jack Nicklaus, Pacifico and Bahía. The championship courses have been highly praised and incorporate the area’s landscape to guarantee a challenging round of golf and spectacular views.
You will find plenty to admire amid the peninsula’s surroundings. Like the islands of my home country, the Philippines, Punta Mita is overflowing with beautiful wildlife and marine life. I would love to try swimming with dolphins or snorkeling over the coral reefs here!
Travel advisory
- If you want affordable rates and good weather, December is the best time to visit. By January, the area is more crowded and accommodations will be more expensive until March. If you don't mind a few rainy days during your vacation, plan your trip for July to September.
Additionally, the peninsula is home to great resorts that are tourist destinations in their own right, luring all kinds of travelers. To give you an idea, browse through this list of the best all-inclusive resorts in Punta Mita, Mexico.
