What’s Hot: St. Regis Punta Mita Resort

We weren't surprised to see Punta Mita, Mexico land on Outside Magazine's list of top romantic getaways in its March issue. Just 45 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta, this luxe resort area is worth the splurge. Perfect surf breaks and "toes-in-the-sand meals" aside, Punta Mita boasts some seriously swank digs. The newest of the bunch is the St. Regis Punta Mita Resort, a real head-turning stunner. Sprawling over 22 acres, the resort emanates timeless elegance. Private butler service is a given. And you can be picked up at the airport in a luxury SUV. 

There's a Beach Club on the perfect white sand, a picture-perfect Adult Pool overlooking the ocean, a Children's Club, gorgeous Reméde Spa, and fitness center. Tip: Visit during the humpback whales' annual migration, and the St. Regis can arrange for a mythical experience up close with the whales as they pass through the Bahia de Banderas near Puerta Vallarta.
