Dec – Mar
Whale watching
Humpbacks come to the Bay of Banderas to calve every winter. Small-boat trips from Punta Mita harbor, three to four hours out, warm layers and a thermos of coffee.
What's out there
The Nayarit coast, at your pace.
From dawn fishing trips out of Punta Mita to slow evenings on Sayulita's painted streets — we arrange as much or as little as you want, through local operators we've used ourselves. Just tell us what you're up for.
Year-round
Sport fishing
Mahi-mahi, sailfish, marlin, tuna. Half- and full-day charters out of Punta Mita, competitive rates through local captains. We book, you show up.
All levels
Scuba & snorkel
Los Arcos, the Marietas, and the coves around Punta Mita. Dive shops with PADI instructors for beginners, deeper trips for certified divers.
Anytime
Sayulita nights
Twenty minutes north — boho shops, mole tacos, mezcal bars, live music and the loudest sunsets on the coast. Grab a car after dinner at the villa.
Anytime
Dive with the pros
Certified PADI instructors lead you through Punta Mita's reefs and coves — friendly guides, quality gear, and safety briefings before every dive. Beginners welcome, deeper trips for the certified.
Just the two of you
Beach days for two
Toes in the sand, a cold drink, and nothing on the schedule. Bring a book, watch the pelicans dive, and stay until the sky turns pink.
Every morning
The private beach
A short jungle path down from the villa opens onto a mile of quiet Pacific. Long walks at low tide, longboarding at dawn, palm shade at three.
Year-round
Surfing
Punta Mita, Sayulita, La Lancha, Burros — some of the friendliest waves on the Pacific are a short drive away. Rentals and lessons for beginners, uncrowded points for the experienced.
$100 USD/day
In-villa cook
Rumina cooks breakfast, lunch and dinner from the market run. Fresh fish, local produce, tortillas made that morning. Add her to the booking.
By request
Yacht day charters
Bigger boats out of Punta Mita for the day — the Marietas, hidden beaches, an anchored lunch and the ride home into sunset.
Your host
Local know-how
Shadman lives the coast — he lines up the captains, the cook, the driver and the dinner reservations. Tell him what you want out of the week and he'll make it happen.
On the ground
Concierge, in person
From airport pickup to the first cold beer on the terrace, Shadman is a text away — surf spots for the day, a last-minute dinner table in Sayulita, a boat captain who speaks English. Real answers from someone who lives here.
