Casa Vaiven

Vaiven — the Spanish word for the back-and-forth motion of the tide — is an apt name for a property whose entire design seems tuned to the rhythm of the Pacific. Six suites face the ocean across a series of terraces, pool decks, and palapa lounges that invite a particular kind of unhurried day, where meals blur into afternoons and afternoons into long, warm evenings. The private infinity pool and jacuzzi sit at the property's premier vantage point, and the private chef makes the most of the Riviera Nayarit's extraordinary coastal produce. Located within Punta Mita's main resort community, with full concierge and butler service in place, Casa Vaiven moves to its own pace — and guests tend to follow.
