Surfers and Non-Surfers in One Villa

Costa · Local guide to the Mexican Pacific coast · Updated October 2026
A mixed group works well in Punta Mita because the surf is quiet and the rest of the coast is built for non-surfers: calm swimming beaches, boat days, golf, spa and chef dinners. The key is a villa with a pool, shade and a flexible driver so surfers can leave at dawn and everyone meets for lunch.

What to look for in the villa

Seasons

Winter suits mixed groups: gentler waves for surfers, dry weather and comfortable days for everyone else. Summer brings bigger swell for surfers and hotter days for guests who prefer to relax by the pool.

Who this is not for

If everyone in your group surfs seriously and wants to live in a surf town, a stay in Sayulita may suit better.

Tell Costa your dates and who surfs in your group in the chat, and we will match you with the right villa.
