Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita, the oceanfront resort along Mexico's Pacific coast, has again earned the AAA Five Diamond designation, the highest classification awarded by the AAA Diamond Program and an accolade the property has held continuously for more than two decades. The recognition places the award-winning resort among the top 1 percent of the approximately 23,000 lodgings inspected across North America, the Caribbean, and Costa Rica. First honoured in 2001, Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita is the longest-tenured AAA Five Diamond resort in the Nayarit region.

Set within the private 1,500-acre (607-hectare) Punta Mita community along Mexico's Pacific coast, Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita spans 52 beachfront acres (21 hectares) on a private peninsula in the Riviera Nayarit. The resort's casita-style guest rooms and suites are joined by private villas, residences and beach homes. Its culinary program includes Pan-Asian fare at the newly renovated Aramara, grilled steak and seafood at beachfront Bahía, and contemporary Mexican fare at Dos Catrinas, all three Wine Spectator Award of Excellence recipients, alongside the ocean view MEZ bar.

Guests have access to four pools, swimmable beaches including Cuevas Club de Playa styled by Business & Pleasure, the Lazy River with a swim-up pool bar, and two Jack Nicklaus-designed golf courses, including the "Tail of the Whale" 3B hole, the world's only natural island green. The resort's wellness program continues to expand, pairing Apuane Spa's pre-Hispanic-inspired treatments with the recently introduced Pilates & Posture Lab, a movement studio offering reformer, breathwork, and alignment-focused classes.

“Maintaining AAA Five Diamond status for more than two decades speaks to the consistency of the experience we deliver,” says John O'Sullivan, Regional Vice President and General Manager. “Over that time, we’ve refreshed our spaces, expanded our culinary offerings and introduced new experiences for our guests, while the care and attention to detail at the heart of our service have remained unchanged. That continuity, alongside the resort’s evolution, is what makes this recognition so meaningful to our team here on the Riviera Nayarit.”

AAA inspectors evaluate properties unannounced, and in some cases anonymously, spending the night on site to verify the four Cs of the AAA Diamond Program: cleanliness, comfort, cuisine and consistency. To learn more about the AAA Diamond Program, visit AAA.com.
