The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort: The Rituals of Punta Mita
Images by St. Regis Hotels & Resorts
Punta Mita is particularly good at making a full day feel wonderfully unplanned. A morning beside the Pacific can become an afternoon on the water, followed by another swim and sunset without anyone checking the time.
At The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort, the Pacific remains a constant presence, but some of the most memorable details come from rituals that set the day’s rhythm.
Every Friday at 11:30 a.m., local fishermen arrive at Sea Breeze Beach with the bay’s fresh catch. Guests meet the chef, choose their fish directly, and decide whether it becomes lunch or dinner, prepared at one of the resort’s restaurants or through private dining. It is a wonderfully simple connection between the Pacific, the people who fish it, and what appears on the plate.
As evening approaches, another ritual takes over. At 6:30 p.m. each day, guests gather for the St. Regis tradition of Champagne sabering, marking the transition from day to night. Even the brand’s famous Bloody Mary takes on a Punta Mita identity here: the Mita Mary replaces vodka with white tequila and incorporates local ingredients.
Days between those rituals can be filled with surfing, snorkeling, paddleboarding, deep-sea fishing, or simply time beside the Pacific.
Together, these small traditions give Punta Mita an appealing sense of place. The day is defined less by an itinerary than by a series of moments: the morning catch, time in the water, Champagne at sunset, and dinner by the ocean.
