Today’s traveler is even more sophisticated than ever before, armed with a keen sense of exactly where- and how- they want to spend their precious time away from the usual daily routine we call life. Whether in search of adventure or just a pampered time-out, there seems to be no shortage these days of remarkable destinations to explore that are truly out of this world. Imanta Resort is just that place, an exclusive enclave in Punta Mita- a forty five minute drive outside Puerta Vallarta, where the alluring beauty has rendered this area with the moniker of Mexican Riviera.
This tiny boutique resort- scattered along two miles of the Pacific Ocean’s wild coastline- is set in 250 acres of lush tropical vegetation, and was built into a cliff using stone boulders found on the original property in order to preserve the natural environment-and is LEED certified. Remote and eco-friendly, nature coexists with refined luxury and architectural splendor, where Hollywood players and jet-setters alike can unwind in total seclusion. More like a private island than hotel, the maximum occupancy is less than twenty people, and there are just eleven villas- each, a very roomy 2,500 sq. ft.- that include private terraces, day-beds, infinity pools, plunge-size bathtubs, and a chef’s kitchen- offering views of the ocean, garden, and jungle which gracefully dot the hillsides.
There are two restaurants, a spa, rooftop yoga, kayaking, guided hikes in the rain forest, and surfing, all for your pleasure- and the amenities provided, such as private beach access, beach pavilions, and a library/boutique, add to the overall enchantment and tranquility. If so inclined, one can take over the entire property for weddings, events, or just because. The impeccable service granted to each guest will no doubt leave you rejuvenated…and hesitant to get back to reality. www.imantaresorts.com
