The Riviera Nayarit is a nearly 200-mile stretch of Pacific coastline between San Blas, Nayarit and Banderas Bay, Nuevo Vallarta. It includes the beautiful beach towns of Chacala Bay, Chacalilla, Alta Vista, San Francisco, Sayulita, among many others. It is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Mexico and is sought after by both solo travelers and families for its perfect beaches and outdoor activities. Mexico's Riviera Nayarit is one of the last fortresses of true unspoiled coastal beauty.

While Puerto Vallarta has taken its residence in the tourist spotlight for decades, Riviera Nayarit has been quietly growing in the shadows and is positioned to become one of the best places to visit in Mexico. In fact, every year there are more places to visit on the Riviera Nayarit that travelers have probably never heard of before. In 1999, Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita, within the 1,500-acre residential and resort community of Punta Mita, introduced the world (beyond surfers who had been looking for waves for years) to the unknown and as yet unnamed paradise of the Riviera Nayarit.
