Casa Balena

Named for the humpback whales that breach just off La Punta's rocky shore during winter months, Casa Balena occupies one of the most coveted positions in all of Punta Mita — directly fronting the Pacific with nothing between its terraces and the open ocean. Six bedroom suites are arranged to capture the view from every vantage point, while the infinity pool, jacuzzi, and palapa lounge make the outdoors as compelling as the interiors. A personal butler and private chef are on hand throughout, complemented by a dedicated concierge who knows every corner of the resort. For those who want to be as close to the water as possible without compromising on comfort, this is the answer.
