Following a multi-million-dollar renovation, the region’s leading lifestyle hotel offers new level of accommodations on the Riviera Nayarit.
RIVIERA NAYARIT – W Punta de Mita reveal its highly anticipated beachfront suite collection following the property’s $3 million dollar renovation. Composed of eight reimagined suites and one new E-Wow two-story suite, the collection’s nine room-keys, each featuring private plunge pools, invite guests to rediscover W. Lining the resort’s Instagram-worthy adults-only pool and secluded beach, known for having some of the best surf breaks in Mexico’s coveted Riviera Nayarit, the new sophisticated look embraces the region’s natural beauty and speaks to its destination-driven ethos.
Identified as an opportunity to inject local traditions into the property, the suites were designed with Riviera Nayarit’s rich history in mind – inspired by the legend of local tribes who fled from the desert to the mountains during the Spanish conquest. The goal was to encourage the connection between travelers and the area’s flora and culture by bringing both indoors, incorporating design elements into the suites that seamlessly blend the feel and legacy of the destination into the guest experience. Renovated to evoke feelings of peace, harmony and inner tranquility, the designers strategically used local and natural resources in the spacious beachfront accommodations, including natural stones, rich woods and traditional textiles. Custom décor sourced from Riviera Nayarit artisans immerse guests in the traditions of the native Huichol tribe, with bursts of color and whimsical touches paying homage to the area’s bohemian surf culture. A fully immersive sensory experience, each suite welcomes guests in with a spacious, open-air bathroom filled with lush plants and a free-standing tub. Illuminated by a flood of natural light, the bathroom floors are made up of a mosaic of smooth, round stones that contrast their warm wood cabinetry and refined coastal finishes. The ocean-facing bedrooms are lined with oversized floor-to-ceiling glass doors that beckon guests to discover their private gardens and patios, which would not be complete without their individual plunge pools, which are perfect for a morning floating breakfast.
The nine suites are broken down into five Marvelous Suites; two Wow Suites with private rooftops that boast unparalleled ocean views; and a completely redesigned signature E-Wow Suite that is the crowning jewel of the renovated property. The two-bedroom, 3,626-square-foot private E-Wow beach house is a tropical oasis, boasting an open kitchen complete with white marble walls and countertops, an oceanfront living and dining room, and a massive rooftop patio with 360-degree
