Located on Mexico’s Riviera Nayarit in 45 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta, the sustainable-focused Imanta Resort is situated on 250 acres adjoining a federally protected natural preserve, and is unparalleled in all of Mexico. Architecturally inspired by the natural coastline and the rich cultural heritage of the area, Imanta features five one-bedroom ocean-view Casas, each with private deck and pool, three of which are used as hotel accommodations. The resort also features a pair of two-bedroom Casonas, which have a living room, full kitchen, private pool, dining area, outdoor decks and private terrace. The spa menu comprises naturopathic treatments using flowers and herbs that have been grown in the resort’s organic gardens and prepared using pre-Hispanic techniques; there’s also an ancient, Aztec-inspired sweat lodge (a Temascal), built deep in the jungle, for a rejuvenating experience like no other.

The on-site restaurants serve up locally caught seafood, premium meats and exotic indigenous fruits both at Catch of the Day’s beachside palapa and at the more formal Tukipa, as well as the stunning rooftop bar, offering 360-degree views of the jungle and Pacific Ocean. By day, swim, kayak, golf, play tennis, whale watch or—the best option of all—simply do nothing. For more information, visit imantamexico.com.
