45-minute drive from Puerto Vallarta airport.

On an undeveloped stretch of coastline on the Riviera Nayarit, surrounded by jungle and the protected Sierra del Vallejo mountains, a 45-minute drive from Puerto Vallarta airport.

105 villas are spread around the resort, carefully positioned to ensure breathtaking views and maximum privacy, and feature indigenous Cumaru wood, natural colour palettes and textiles from local artisans. All villas have a private plunge pool and terrace, bathroom with separate shower and bath, flatscreen TV, mini bar, WiFi and tea/coffee making facilities, with the option of a Treehouse elevated 12 metres above the forest floor or a Cliff Villa if you prefer to be at ground level. The Grand Villas offer one or two bedrooms, some with a larger pool, hot tub and extra amenities like a welcome bottle of Champagne and daily afternoon canapés. The two storey, three bedroom Villa One sleeps up to eight guests and includes a private cinema, wine cellar, spa, gym and private infinity pool, plus a dedicated butler and chef, golf buggy with personal driver and your own reserved cabana at the Jetty Beach Club.

Celebrity chef Enrique Olvera oversees the cliffside Carao restaurant, where you can enjoy sublime Mexican dishes and panoramic views, while Alma espouses a garden-to-plate ethos with its pan-American and Mediterranean fare, and the Jetty Beach Club offers casual beachfront dining and freshly caught seafood. The Treetop is a memorable spot for sundowners, with a drinks menu focused on sustainability, natural production methods and zero waste.

As well as your private pool, there are six pools scattered around the resort, including one for adults only. There are two beaches: the curving Jetty creates a swimmable beach, a rarity on this coastline, while Playa Canalan is wilder. Watersports on offer include kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkelling, scuba diving and fishing, and the resort has its own fleet of yachts and catamarans. Back on dry land there is a tennis academy, football, basketball and archery, and the fitness studio includes an outdoor yoga palapa. The wonderful spa has a partnership with skincare brand Tata Harper, and features six treatment rooms, a sauna, steam room and beauty lounge. KidsOnly is the fantastic programme for children aged 4-11 yrs, a 42,000-square-foot jungle playground with treehouses, bridges, slides, climbing walls and a butterfly farm. Activities the whole family can enjoy include cookery classes and horse riding at the nearby Mandarina Polo & Equestrian Centre.
