"Balanced perfectly between kid-friendly adventure and adult sanctuary, this private-peninsula escape delivers 1,500 acres and 1.25 miles of swimmable, secluded beaches with complimentary snorkel gear and kayaks. Pool time is a choose-your-own-adventure: Nuna is heated and family-friendly, Tamai is adults-only with multiple pools and a whirlpool, and a lazy river winds through the Oasis complex. Kids for All Seasons mixes Mexican art and cooking classes with nature walks and turtle releases, while teens retreat to The Container—an upcycled shipping container turned lounge with video games and VR—so parents can slip away to the adult pool or world-class spa. Multi-bedroom villas and casitas make spreading out easy, and the lineup spans surf lessons, snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and beach yoga." - Jenn Sinrich
"Set on a 1,500-acre hidden oasis north of Puerto Vallarta, Four Seasons Punta Mita caters to exacting guests with red-roof garden casitas, Mexican art, louvered doors, and an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus course at Pacifico that includes a memorable island hole. Readers shared stories of extraordinarily dedicated service—examples that underscore the resort’s attention to unexpected requests." - CNT Editors
"Only a roughly three-hour flight from Southern California, this oceanfront resort offers romantic plunge-pool suites, elevated dining experiences, and adults-only relaxation in the Tamai Pool. Couples can learn to blend their own tequila or enjoy a private sunset dinner on “The Rock,” an overlook perched high above the Pacific, followed by an intimate stargazing session." - Jordi Lippe-McGraw Jordi Lippe-McGraw Jordi Lippe-McGraw is a writer and editor covering travel, parenting, and wellness.

"This Pacific-coast luxury resort is set up to make a first trip with an infant as low-stress as possible: expect direct-flight accessibility, a broad, soft-sanded beach, and on-property comforts that mimic home (cribs, mini-fridges for milk, high chairs, baby bathtubs and diaper pails are commonly provided). Medical access and babysitting services are available, and the gentle sound of waves offers a naturally soothing backdrop for naps and downtime." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Set on 52 lush acres about 45 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta, this property blends rainforest and sandy beaches with a serene spa, several upscale restaurants, and multiple pools (including an adult-only option). Families can choose renovated casita-style rooms, private villas, or overhauled beach homes, and children benefit from an enhanced Kids for All Seasons program with a KidsWell element focusing on mental health—daily programming for ages 5–12 that includes Huichol cultural activities (making Ojos de Dios and Mexican Catrina dolls), breathwork, journaling, meditation, watercolor classes, and nature and wildlife encounters." - Kathryn Romeyn, Michelle Baran, Devorah Lev-Tov
