Punta Mita With Teenagers

Costa · Local guide to the Mexican Pacific coast · Updated October 2026
Punta Mita keeps teenagers busy with surf lessons, boat days to the Marietas Islands, paddleboarding, fishing and golf, and a villa with a game room and a pool gives them space. La Bahia is a short, forgiving beach wave suited to lessons, and El Anclote and Stinky's also suit first sessions. For nights out, the village and nearby towns add restaurants and day trips.

The villa

Ask about a game room, a pool, a gym and Wi-Fi, and about bedrooms with separate wings so teenagers and adults each have space. A golf cart can add independence inside the gates, so confirm rules for who may drive.

Beyond the gates

The village of Punta de Mita has restaurants along Avenida El Anclote, and Sayulita, La Cruz and Bucerias add markets and day trips. Hacienda de Mita is the community with a direct walk to the village.

Who this is not for

If your teenagers expect nightlife and a packed social scene, Punta Mita is quiet. Nearby Sayulita is livelier for a day or evening out.

Tell Costa your dates, group size and must-haves in the chat, and we will send the current collection that fits.
