Punta Mita Villas Near the Four Seasons & St. Regis

Two of the most recognized names in luxury hospitality — Four Seasons and St. Regis — anchor the same gated peninsula in Punta Mita. For a couple, a resort suite is often perfect. But for a family, a multigenerational group, or a party of friends, a resort room only stretches so far. A private villa inside the same gated community gives you the location and proximity to the resorts’ amenities, with far more space, privacy, and — for groups — better value.

Here’s how to think about staying near the resorts rather than in them.

Where the Four Seasons and St. Regis sit

Both flagship resorts occupy the gated Punta Mita peninsula, sharing the community’s beaches, golf, and infrastructure. The Four Seasons anchored the original Punta Mita development and sits toward the peninsula’s established core. The St. Regis sits along the Bahía side of the peninsula, with the Bahía golf course routing through its grounds and the neighboring communities of El Encanto, Porta Fortuna, and La Punta Estates. Both bring beach clubs, signature dining, spa, and access to the two Jack Nicklaus golf courses.

Crucially, the villas you’d rent aren’t outside this world — they’re inside the same gates, often a few minutes by golf cart from a resort beach club or a clubhouse.

Villa vs. resort room: the real trade-offs

The choice usually comes down to how many people you’re traveling with and what you want your days to feel like.

A resort room gives you turnkey, on-tap service, daily housekeeping, and the resort’s restaurants and pools steps from your door — ideal for one or two travelers who want zero logistics.

A private villa gives you the whole house: multiple bedrooms, a private pool, full kitchen, indoor-outdoor living, and the option of a private chef and dedicated staff. For six to twelve guests, booking several resort rooms quickly costs more than one large villa — and a villa keeps the group together, which is usually the entire point of the trip. If you’re weighing layouts and views, our guide on beachfront vs. ocean-view villas is a good next read.

What resort amenities can villa guests actually access?

Be a little skeptical of any site that promises blanket “full resort access” — it’s more nuanced than that, and worth confirming. Within the gated Punta Mita community, villa guests can often access the peninsula’s amenities — the two golf courses, certain beach clubs, and select experiences — frequently arranged through a concierge. But what’s included varies by the individual villa’s program.

So treat amenity access as a question to ask, not an assumption to make. When you inquire about a specific villa, we’ll tell you exactly what it includes — beach club access, golf, in-villa dining, transfers — and arrange it. For a sense of the beach-club landscape, see our Punta Mita beach clubs guide.

Which communities sit near which resort

If proximity to a particular resort matters, the community you choose is what determines it:

• Near the St. Regis / Bahía side: El Encanto, Porta Fortuna, and La Punta Estates line the Bahía course and the St. Regis grounds — a short cart ride to that side of the peninsula.
• Near the Four Seasons / original core: the established communities around the peninsula’s first developments sit closest to the Four Seasons and its beach club.

Our areas guide compares the communities in detail, and we’ve profiled standouts like Kupuri and Las Palmas individually.

Who this suits best

Staying in a villa near the resorts tends to win for families and multigenerational trips (everyone under one roof, with a pool and space the kids can actually use — see our family guide), groups of friends who want shared common areas, and celebrations — milestone birthdays, reunions, and small weddings — where privacy and a private chef matter more than a room-service menu.

Frequently asked questions

Can you stay near the Four Seasons or St. Regis without booking the resort?
Yes. Private villas sit inside the same gated Punta Mita community as both resorts, so you get the location and proximity with a whole house to yourselves.

Do villa guests get resort or beach-club access?
Often, yes — golf, certain beach clubs, and select experiences can usually be arranged through a concierge — but it depends on the individual villa’s program. Confirm what’s included when you inquire.

Four Seasons side or St. Regis side — which is better?
Both are inside the gates with access to the peninsula’s amenities; the difference is location and feel. The St. Regis side suits golfers along Bahía; the Four Seasons core suits those who want the original heart of the peninsula. Tell us your priorities and we’ll point you to the right community.
