Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita Named Five-Star Hotel in Forbes Travel Guide’s 2025 Star Awards

Forbes Travel Guide, the only global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruises, has announced its 2025 Star Awards. Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita earned a new Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star award.

Situated within the exclusive 1,500-acre (600 hectare) Punta Mita community along Mexico’s Riviera Nayarit, Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita seamlessly blends natural beauty with world-class hospitality. The luxury resort features an assortment of accommodations ranging from casita-style to expansive private villas and luxurious residences. Property amenities include a wide range of experiences for all ages, such as four distinct pools, a two-mile (3.2 kilometre) swimmable beach, a refreshed Lazy River and swim-up bar, and multiple award-winning dining outlets and an ocean-view mezcal bar. The resort’s signature restaurant, Aramara, has just reopened following an extensive renovation, complete with a bold new design and an elevated menu that blends Asian techniques with Pacific Coast ingredients, featuring tableside presentations and an expanded sake program. Additional signature property experiences include a tranquil spa, culturally-inspired activities, interactive cooking classes, water excursions, and two renowned Jack Nicklaus golf courses, including the famous “Tail of the Whale” hole - the only natural island green in the world.
