Naviva, A Four Seasons Resort, Punta Mita, Mexico announces the return of Naviva Unplugged, its acclaimed concert series redefining what live music can be. After a celebrated first year that drew guests to experience music in one of the most intimate settings in the world, the series returns in 2026 with an expanded lineup of GRAMMY-nominated artists, acclaimed singer-songwriters, and emerging talents spanning country, soul, folk, R&B, and pop.

“Our first artists told us Naviva Unplugged took them back to their earliest days, playing intimate rooms and feeling every note land,” says Eduardo Sampere, Resort Manager, Naviva, A Four Seasons Resort. “This is music in its purest form, stripped and grounded in connection. That is the soul of Naviva, and we are honoured to continue the series in 2026.”

One of the smallest Four Seasons resorts worldwide, with just 15 luxury ocean-view bungalows designed to foster connection to nature, to self, and to one another, Naviva continues to transform what live performance can be. The enthusiastic reception from the series' debut year affirmed what artists and guests discovered together: that stripping away the conventions of traditional venues reveals an extraordinary communion between performer and listener, the kind of connection that rarely exists anywhere else.

Naviva Unplugged performances unfold in the resort's most magical settings — around a crackling bonfire at La Solana Beach, within Copal's cozy living room, or beside the moonlit waters of Selva Pool. At Naviva, musical notes intertwine with ocean breezes and the rhythms of the wild, weaving a sensory tapestry where music, nature, and human connection flourish in their most elemental form.

The 2026 Naviva Unplugged series welcomes an inspired mix of new voices and returning favourites:
