Punta de Mita
What to know about Punta de Mita
The northern tip of Banderas Bay brings together two worlds: Punta Mita, a private development of about 700 hectares with five-star hotels and golf, and the town of Punta de Mita, the coastal town by its entrance, with calm beaches, surfing and local life.
Who is it for?
Inside the private development, for ultra-high-net-worth buyers seeking exclusivity, security and resort-style service, including branded residences associated with luxury hotels. In town, for those looking for a second home near the beach, surfers, young families and vacation rental investors who want to be close to Punta Mita without its price tag.
Property types
In Punta Mita: oceanfront villas, homes on the fairways and luxury condominium residences with access to beach clubs, golf, tennis and spa. In town: oceanfront apartments and boutique condos, homes with partial ocean views, lots and fixer-uppers, across different price ranges.
Lifestyle
Two rhythms a few minutes apart. In the development, a private resort with two Jack Nicklaus golf courses, a tennis club, beach clubs and controlled access. In town, calm beaches like El Anclote, surfing, boats for whale watching and the Marietas Islands, local restaurants and a mixed community of locals and foreigners.
Market and trends
Punta Mita is a benchmark for luxury real estate on Mexico's Pacific coast, with limited availability and demand from buyers worldwide. The town has drawn growing interest thanks to its proximity to the development and has more and more boutique projects.
Area advantages
Spectacular beaches, surf and dive spots, and the option to choose between the privacy of the development or the authentic feel of the town, with more accessible prices. About 45 minutes from the Vallarta airport.

Punta Mita vs. Punta de Mita: what's the difference?
They sound almost the same, but they're two very different ways to live on the same tip of the bay.
Punta Mita
- A gated community of about 700 hectares with controlled access.
- Five-star hotels, two Jack Nicklaus golf courses, beach clubs, tennis and spa.
- Oceanfront villas, homes on the fairways and branded residences.
- Ultra-luxury prices; HOA and club fees tend to be higher.
- For those seeking privacy, security and resort-style service.
Punta de Mita town
- The town by the development's entrance, with streets, shops and local life.
- Calm beaches like El Anclote, surfing, restaurants and boat trips.
- Apartments and boutique condos, homes and lots across different price ranges.
- More accessible prices than inside the private development.
- For second homes, surfing, families and anyone who prefers an authentic atmosphere.
In listings, "Punta Mita" and "Punta de Mita" are used almost interchangeably. That's why I always confirm whether the property is inside the private development or in town: price, fees, access and lifestyle all change.
