The MexBest 2026 Awards Honour Naviva, A Four Seasons Resort with the Best Romantic Escape Distinction

Naviva, A Four Seasons Resort has been recognised as Best Romantic Escape at the MexBest 2026 Awards, one of Mexico's most respected celebrations of excellence across hospitality, gastronomy, and tourism. Organized by Grupo Expansión, the annual awards are determined by a panel of industry experts who evaluate the country's leading hotels, restaurants, and bars before selecting winners across a range of categories.

The distinction recognizes Naviva's singular approach to hospitality, one that reimagines romance not as a collection of curated moments, but as the freedom to be fully present with one another.

Tucked within 48 acres (19.5 hectares) of coastal forest where the Pacific Ocean meets the Riviera Nayarit's lush jungle landscape, Naviva offers an intimate adults-only retreat designed around connection. With just 15 luxury tented bungalows and no more than 30 guests in residence at any given time, the resort fosters an atmosphere that feels deeply personal, allowing relationships, conversations, and shared experiences to take centre stage.

At a time when travellers increasingly seek meaning and connection alongside luxury, Naviva invites couples to step away from routines, distractions, and expectations. There are no fixed schedules or prescribed itineraries. Instead, each stay unfolds naturally around individual interests and desires, whether that means discovering hidden corners of the coastal landscape, sharing a wellness journey inspired by Mexico's rich healing traditions, gathering for an impromptu dinner beneath the stars, or simply embracing the rare luxury of uninterrupted time together.

The Resort's all-encompassing approach further removes the transactions and logistics that can interrupt a getaway, creating space for spontaneity, ease, and genuine connection. Supported by an intuitive team that takes the time to understand each guest personally, every experience feels effortless, evolving organically rather than according to plan.

"We often hear from guests that what they value most is not a particular activity or amenity, but how they felt during their time here" says Eduardo Sampere, General Manager of Naviva, A Four Seasons Resort. " In a world that is increasingly busy, connected and demanding, Naviva creates space for something many couples are craving: the opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and simply enjoy being together. We are deeply honoured that MexBest recognized this vision and grateful to our team for creating these moments each and every day."

As one of the smallest Four Seasons resorts in the world, Naviva continues to challenge conventional notions of luxury, replacing formality with authenticity and emphasizing human connection, nature, wellbeing, and personalized discovery. Being named Best Romantic Escape by MexBest affirms the resort's vision of creating transformative experiences that bring people closer to themselves, their surroundings, and, most importantly, to one another.
