PUNTA DE MITA, Nayarit, Mexico
Starwood Hotels & Resorts announced that it will extend its presence in Mexico with the debut of W Punta de Mita in 2016, located in Mexico's Riviera Nayarit.
Scheduled to open in 2016, W Punta de Mita will be part of Los Veneros, an exclusive enclave located on Mexico's Pacific Coast. W Punta de Mita is owned by Fideicomiso Los Veneros.
"With the opening of W Punta de Mita, Mexico will become be the only country in Latin America to boast two W hotels, demonstrating its continued position as one of the most in-demand travel markets in the world," said Jorge Giannattasio, Senior Vice-President and Chief of Latin America Operations for Starwood Hotels & Resorts. "We are thrilled to announce this deal as we continue to look for opportunities to bring our world-class hotel brands to the best destinations around the globe."
The oceanfront W Punta de Mita will have 120 guest villas, featuring lavish amenities and the W brand's signature Whatever/Whenever service. In addition, guests will enjoy the hotel's vibrant public spaces, including W Living Room (the W brand's bustling spin on the hotel lobby) where guests can mix and mingle while sipping locally-inspired cocktails; W Lounge where guests can enjoy an unforgettable nightlife experience while listening to what's new and next in music; WET outdoor pool deck with stunning views of the Pacific Coast and buzzing with W energy; and a signature restaurant.
For true indulgence, W Punta de Mita will feature a 4,000-square-foot AWAY Spa with signature treatments and services as well as FIT, the ultimate workout facility.
W Punta de Mita will be located in the Los Veneros multi-use oceanfront development, which is less than 10 miles away from Puerto Vallarta International Airport and 15 miles from downtown.
There was no mention of available meeting space, but it is likely that W Punta de Mita will cater to the incentives market. W Mexico City features 7,700 square feet of event space.
W Mexico City recently completed a comprehensive renovation of its Living Room, guest rooms, and this month it will premiere a brand new restaurant J by Jose Andres.
In addition to W Punta de Mita, there are several other W hotels in the pipeline for Latin America, including W Panama, an urban hotel set to open in 2017; W Riviera Maya – Kanai, set against the waters of the Caribbean and scheduled to open in 2018; and W Costa Rica – Reserva Conchal, a tropical oasis that will debut in 2019.
