History
The Four Seasons Punta Mita opened on September 1, 1999 as the anchor resort that transformed Punta Mita from an under-the-radar surf spot into one of Latin America's top luxury destinations. Developer DINE built the entire 1,500-acre private peninsula community around this flagship resort, which remains its centerpiece 25 years later. The resort's "Tail of the Whale" — golf's only natural island green — has been called one of the most photographed holes in the world.
The setting
Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita, Mexico anchors the tip of the 1,500-acre private gated Punta Mita peninsula on Bahía de Banderas in Nayarit, occupying a 52-acre nature preserve where it opened in September 1999 as the first Four Seasons in Mexico. Situated at Km 19.5 of Carretera Federal 200, 45 minutes from Puerto Vallarta International Airport, the resort commands three beaches and panoramic views of the Sierra Madre and the Marietas Islands. Within the gates, guests reach two Jack Nicklaus Signature golf courses — including the Tail of the Whale, the world's only natural island par-three — while a cluster of landmark luxury hotels on the same peninsula confirms this as Mexico's premier private resort address.
