Beyond the gates
The village of Punta de Mita is a short cart ride from most communities. Litibu and Mandarina lie farther along the coast and offer different atmospheres. Ask Costa which fits your stay.
Who this is not for
If you want the buzz of a town every evening, stay in Sayulita or the bay towns and visit Punta Mita for a day.
Tell Costa your dates, group size and must-haves in the chat, and we will send the current collection that matches.
