Fresh from a multi-million dollar renovation and under the new direction of Spa Director Mercader, the Resort will unveil new spa, fitness and culinary offerings including:

Options include vegan, Mediterranean, Asian and local flavours and are packed with superfoods such as quinoa, raw cocoa, cactus and fresh fruits and greens. And for an elevated take on traditional “spa waters,” the spa menu will include all-natural water enhancement drops by Pure Inventions.
- Exclusive Equipment: Introducing new high-end fitness equipment from Artis, Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita is the only resort in Mexico to carry the line offering an integrated and seamless workout experience.
- Toe Astrologer: A certified Master Toe Reader performs a 30-minute toe reading based on the principle that the body physically records “the story of our lives” in the toes, followed by an 80-minute Punta Mita pedicure.
