A sense of the place
Why it's in the collection
Because it is one of three hotels in all of Mexico to hold the top hotel distinction of its kind, and it did so as a retreat rather than a resort – reached by boat, built around yoga, and honest about both.
- On Quimixto beach on the south shore of Banderas Bay, past the end of the coast road from Puerto Vallarta – access is by boat only.
- Jungle casitas on the hillside and yoga every day – an eco retreat by design, and the one address in the collection that is not a resort.
- Its private beach is reached only by boat.
- Independent, and one of only three hotels in Mexico with the highest hotel distinction of its kind – awarded in 2024, kept in 2025 – which is the standing it holds here.

The neighborhood
Nuevo Vallarta & Puerto Vallarta
The long eastern shore of Banderas Bay – Nuevo Vallarta's beach and marina on the Nayarit side, Puerto Vallarta's Malecón and Marina Vallarta across the state line in Jalisco, and the boat-only coves of the south shore at Quimixto – with three of the nine hotels.
- The waterfall walk inland from Quimixto beach.
- Yelapa and Las Ánimas, the neighboring boat-only coves.
- Boca de Tomatlán, where the road ends and the pangas leave.
