Punta Mita Villa Rentals

Punta Mita occupies the peninsula at the northern point of Bahía de Banderas, about 40-45 minutes from Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR). It's the most exclusive of the three areas where MAR Collection operates — most properties sit inside gated communities with private security, landscaped grounds, and direct or short-walk access to the peninsula's beach clubs.

The peninsula is known for its golf courses, world-class surf breaks, and calm swimming beaches on its bay-facing side — a rare combination in one place. Both MAR Collection properties in Punta Mita, Palmas 8 and Las Terrazas G-32, include a complimentary golf cart with every stay, the standard way to get around the peninsula's private communities and reach nearby beach clubs and restaurants.

Punta Mita villa rentals command a different tier than the rest of Riviera Nayarit — this is where Mexico's most established gated developments, golf clubs, and beach clubs concentrate on a single peninsula. Travelers who choose Punta Mita specifically (rather than the wider Puerto Vallarta area) are usually prioritizing privacy, security, and resort-level polish over proximity to the airport, and the peninsula delivers on all three.
