Safety and staff
Punta Mita has a controlled entrance and gated communities. Ask each villa about pool safety, supervision and staff hours. Our family safety guide covers the U.S. advisory and practical steps.
A family week that works
Anchor each day with one thing. A boat day to the Marietas Islands, whale watching in winter, a surf lesson at a beginner break, a golf round for the adults and a pool day for everyone. Most of it can be arranged by your concierge, and the villa is the base.
Because Punta Mita is a gated peninsula with a controlled entrance, families find it easy to move around by golf cart. Ask whether a cart is included and how many.
Beach clubs: ask which one comes with the villa
Punta Mita is really a collection of beach clubs, and which ones you can use depends on the community and the Club Punta Mita membership tier that comes with the home. Kupuri Beach Club is the grandest, a multi-level club with pools, dining and full service. The Residents' Beach Club is quieter and family-paced. Pacifico Beach Club sits by the golf and the point, and the Sufi Ocean Club anchors Porta Fortuna on the oceanfront.
A villa does not automatically unlock every club, so the single most useful question is which club your villa includes. That one detail shapes a whole week.
Chef, staff and the rest of the week
Most villas here can arrange a private chef for one dinner, a few nights or the whole stay, and many include housekeeping. Confirm which staff are included, their hours and whether groceries are stocked before you arrive. A concierge can also arrange golf, boat days, surf coaching, spa treatments and transfers from Puerto Vallarta airport.
Safety and security
Punta Mita is a gated peninsula of about 1,500 acres with a single controlled entrance and internal security, and the U.S. Department of State rates Nayarit at Level 2, exercise increased caution, as of its May 29, 2026 advisory. Check the current advisory before you travel, use arranged transfers, and ask your villa team about its own security arrangements.
How Costa works
Costa is a free local guide to a curated collection of homes it knows in person. You tell us your dates, group size and must-haves, we match the current collection, and we confirm every detail directly with the property before anything is booked. Payment stays between you and the property, and Costa does not quote prices.
Who this is not for
If your teenagers want nightlife and surf lessons from town, consider how far the villa is from the village and how guests get around.
Tell Costa your dates, group size and must-haves in the chat, and we will send the current collection that fits.
