Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts has announced plans to expand its footprint in Mexico with a resort concept focusing on customizable itineraries led by personal guides, sustainable design and programming inspired by the nature and history of the country. The new luxury tented resort will be an expansion of the existing Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita in an untouched enclave within the Resort community.
Set to open in late 2022, Naviva, A Four Seasons Resort, Punta Mita, Mexico will offer a collection of 15 luxury tents nestled in the forests of the Riviera Nayarit with views of the Pacific Ocean. Inspired by the idea of naturaleza viva, or "live naturally," the Resort is integrated into its natural surroundings.
"The Naviva Resort will be an exceptional retreat for those seeking highly individualized service, curated wellness experiences and artful culinary offerings that reflect the culture and character of Mexico," says Bart Carnahan, President, Global Business Development and Portfolio Management, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. "This is an ambitious and innovative new project for our brand, with every detail focused on the wellbeing of the guests, the sustainability of the design and the celebration of the destination."
The Naviva Resort Experience
Ahead of arrival, guests will be matched with a personal guide to create an itinerary based on their specific desires, choosing from a range of experiences or simply relaxing in their surroundings. The guides will assist in creating custom itineraries and personalizing experiences, while also providing the freedom for guests to explore on their own.
Guests will meet their guides on a cocoon-inspired bamboo bridge overlooking a 9 metre ravine. The design continues with butterfly-inspired guest tents perched on hillsides, each with private pools and decks, and many with outdoor gardens.
The onsite programming has been curated with the support of local experts and has been designed to allow for heightened personalization – such as one-on-one interactions with the Resort executive chef; personal training sessions in the outdoor gym; private dinners with ocean views; or exploring Mexico's wine and spirits scene.
About Naviva, A Four Seasons Resort
The property will celebrate its natural surroundings through an "organic" aesthetic and design, with sustainable elements including solar panels, efficient water systems and natural drainage, electric vehicles, upcycled artwork and locally sourced products, materials, produce and ingredients.
Luxury Frontiers, a company with experience in designing experiential resorts, has been selected to help Naviva Resort create a sustainable, low-impact property. The design of the property will allow for seamless movement between indoor and outdoor living.
The Resort will feature a pool inspired by the enveloping jungle, access to a secluded beach, spa pods that offer customizable treatments featuring products made from local ingredients, a cliffside yoga pavilion and an outdoor gym. In addition, supported by knowledgeable guides, guests will be able to experience an onsite temazcal.
The onsite restaurant, Copal, will be a farm-to-table open-air Mexican grill house overlooking the seascapes of Punta Mita, and will serve fresh homegrown produce and sea catches on a rotating seasonal menu. With the open kitchen as the epicentre of the space, guests can witness traditional cooking techniques at work.
In addition to onsite programming and experiences, guests will have full access to Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita, including the restaurant and bar offerings, additional spa and fitness facilities, and beach and pool access.
Naviva, A Four Seasons Resort, Punta Mita, Mexico will be located less than an hour's drive from PVR, according to Four Seasons. The Naviva Resort will be an expansion of Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita and joins Four Seasons growing collection of properties in Mexico, which include Four Seasons Hotel Mexico City, Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas and the upcoming Four Seasons Resort Tamarindo and Four Seasons Resort and Residences Cabo San Lucas at Cabo Del Sol.
