Best Luxury Hotels in Nayarit

Siari, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, presents ninety one standalone sanctuaries and private residences along Mexico’s Emerald Coast, set within the secluded 920 acre enclave of Nauka. The setting sits between the Sierra Madre foothills and the Pacific, placing guests within a landscape shaped by dense jungle, dramatic cliffs and long stretches of swimmable shoreline.

Architecture and interiors draw deeply from the region, using local stone, native woods, handwoven textiles and artisanal craft to reflect the cultural heritage of Nayarit. Suites and villas bring the outdoors into every moment through open air living, private terraces, infinity pools and uninterrupted ocean or jungle views, with personalised butler service throughout. The five bedroom Siari Presidential Estate stands at the pinnacle of privacy, offering one of the most exclusive residential style retreats on this coastline.

The resort’s culinary identity is led by celebrated Mexican chef David Castro Hussong, whose five restaurants explore both coastal tradition and global influence, supported by a series of characterful bars and lounges. A sense of wellbeing runs through the resort, anchored by the expansive Há Yeka centre where hydrotherapy, Huichol healing practices, volcanic stone rituals and open air treatment spaces form a layered approach to restoration. Families have dedicated cultural and nature based programming at The Wild Kinship Center, while active guests can explore the ocean, hike through the enclave’s tropical terrain, or play the Tom Fazio designed championship golf course reserved solely for Siari residents and guests. With private aviation arrivals, on site helipads and deep slip marina access for yachts, Siari offers exceptional seclusion with smooth access to both Tepic and Puerto Vallarta airports.

A top-tier Marriott resort, The St Regis is large, but calm. Guests are ferried around the grounds in golf carts and provided with the brand’s signature butler service. 120 bedrooms are housed in a number of casitas, with decor that’s neutral upscale rustic and airy, outdoor showers and modern beamed ceilings. Multiple pools ensure every type of traveller – from families to honeymooning couples – can find their perfect sunbathing corner. Lush, manicured gardens lead onto the white sandy beach, where guests can take a seat on a cushioned teak lounger. The St Regis has five restaurants, several bars, a fitness room, tennis courts and a kids’ club.
