INSIDER | OPENINGS majestic mexico Imanta Punta de Mita. Booming In Baja Luxe Natural Mexico’s Imanta Punta de Mita brings nature and guests together. Imanta Punta de Mita made its grand debut to guests in February 2010. Situated on a 250-acre private reserve on the pristine beaches of Mexico’s Riviera Nayarit, this inti- mate cliffside property is a 45-minute drive from Puerto Vallarta and provides guests with the ultimate remote getaway. Inspired by the natural beauty of the surrounding coastline and the rich cultural heritage of the area, each structure at Imanta was designed to take full advantage of the land and its spectacular setting—from the terraces that offer complete privacy plus a mix of sun and shade in each season to the boulders used for stone walls on the property to the views of the ocean and jungle. “Imanta is a property that is truly born of the land,” says general manager Jose Carlos Navarrete. “The owners lived in tents on the beach for a year in order to fully understand what they wanted Imanta to be, and protect- 16 oceanhomemag.com may + june 2010 ing this incredible land was the first priority. What resulted is something that offers all of the luxuries guests come to expect from a five-star property today with a true sense of connection to the land.” Resort guests have the option of stay- ing in one of seven unique accommoda- tions. Five free-standing, one-bedroom Casas feature spacious living areas, indoor/outdoor showers, pools, and terraces. Additionally, guests may choose from a pair of two-bed- room Casonas, each including a full kitchen, living room, dining room, pool, and terrace. The culinary approach at Imanta is very much in keeping with the rest of the prop- erty, with an emphasis on fresh local seafood, local organic produce, premium meats, and exotic tropical fruits from local orchards. In addition to the hotel, Imanta Punta de Mita offers 37 private signature lots inter- spersed throughout the 250-acre property, making it the lowest-density resort in the Riviera Nayarit area. Opening rates for the Casas start at $1,200 per night, while the Casonas start at $4,800 per night. 52-329-398- 4260, imantaresorts.com.
