Designers Wes Gordon and Paul Arnhold’s Guide to Punta de Mita, Mexico

Morning | Breakfast at Casamilpa

Start your day with breakfast at Casamilpa overlooking the ocean and the surfers on the morning break. Our kids especially love the basket of warm, homemade Mexican pastries served tableside

Morning | Morritos Kids Club

Let your little ones loose at the kids club where they are immersed in culturally-rich activities and programming. Morritos Kids’ Club is truly exceptional, run by an incredibly caring and attentive team who make the children feel so welcomed and loved.

Afternoon | Beach Cabana

The white-sand beach at Susurros is unlike any other. We love to unwind in one of the beachfront cabanas and enjoy a handcrafted margarita under the Mexican sun.

Evening | La Boquita Sunset & Cocktails

Don’t miss the sunset at La Boquita with a round of beverages and bites. Order the Temezcal, a tropical white mezcal cocktail, an assortment of tacos – we love the ribeye or the lobster tacos.

Morning | Shopping in Sayulita 

Spend your morning perusing the beachfront art markets in Sayulita. From natural Mexican leather and Huichol art to hat-makers and jewelry designers, there’s always a treasure to take home from this authentic surf town.

Afternoon | Sunset Turtle Release

The sunset turtle release is an unforgettable experience for families. Release baby hatchlings and watch as they start on their epic life journey from the beaches of Susurros to the gentle waves of the Bahía de Banderas.

Evening | Dinner at Tuna Blanca in Punta Mita

Explore the nearby, quaint community of Punta Mita, just moments from the resort. Enjoy an evening out on the town and settle down at one of our favorite spots, Tuna Blanca, a sea-to-table dining experience with the best fresh catch.

Morning | 90 min Remedio Treatment at ONDA

Find deep relaxation at ONDA, an Auberge Spa, where joy fuels wellbeing. Every treatment is built to ignite a sense of renewal, but the Remedio massage is a must. This therapeutic treatment is a full-body experience meant for deep-seated tension.

Afternoon | Make Your Own Chocobanana

Indulge in an afternoon delight after a morning of adventures with a chocobanana – frozen fresh bananas hand dipped in chocolate and rolled in your choice of toppings, from flaked coconut to cacao nibs.

Evening | Savor the Sunset Beach Dining

As the sun starts to set, make your way down to the beach and explore the nightly rotating tasting menus or visiting chef partner dining experiences. The assortment of global cuisine paired with an impeccable beachfront setting is nothing short of exquisite.
