Punta Mita is far more than a place to relax, it is a destination that rewards the curious and the adventurous with experiences that are simply unavailable anywhere else in Mexico.
**Golf** is perhaps the defining activity of Punta Mita, with two world-class Jack Nicklaus Signature courses set against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean and the Islas Marietas. The Pacifico Course is famous for its 3B hole, the only natural island green in the world, accessible by boat at low tide. Premier Golf membership, included with most MitaVillas properties, grants access to both courses along with practice facilities and the clubhouse.
**Whale Watching** is a seasonal highlight that draws visitors from around the world. Humpback whales migrate through the waters off Punta Mita from November through March, and boat tours from El Anclote offer extraordinary close encounters with these magnificent creatures. The sight of a breaching humpback against the backdrop of the Islas Marietas is one of the most memorable experiences in all of Mexico.
**The Islas Marietas** are a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and one of the natural wonders of the Pacific coast. Day trips by boat reveal extraordinary biodiversity, blue-footed boobies, manta rays, sea turtles, and the famous Playa del Amor (Hidden Beach), accessible only through a sea cave. Snorkeling and diving here are world-class.
**Surfing** is a way of life in Punta Mita, with breaks suitable for all levels from the gentle waves at El Anclote to the powerful swells at La Lancha and Burros. Several surf schools operate in the area, and experienced guides can take advanced surfers to remote breaks accessible only by boat.
**Yoga and Wellness** have become an integral part of the Punta Mita experience, with world-class instructors and retreat facilities available throughout the resort. Many villas can arrange private yoga sessions on the terrace, and the Four Seasons and St. Regis spas offer comprehensive wellness programs.
