New ‘Latin’ & Euro Hotel Openings For 2021

 
MEXICO
Situated in Mexico’s youngest destination, super trendy Punta de Mita in Riviera Nayarit will welcome new luxury, sought-after and exclusive hotel properties in the region.

These highly anticipated hotels have maintained momentum and continued construction despite the current climate, and will be ready to open their doors to indulgent travellers and position Riviera Nayarit on the map as one of the most desirable luxury resort destinations in all of Mexico.

The first new hotel to open in 2021 in Riviera Nayarit is the world’s first all-inclusive Delta Hotels by Marriott resort.
This property is nestled on a hillside in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, one of Mexico’s prettiest destinations, and is ideal for those wanting to indulge in an all-inclusive experience.

For families, the new Dreams Punta de Mita Resort & Spa will provide unparalleled pampering for adults
... and non-stop activities for the kids, whereas the new Secrets Punta de Mita Resort & Spa offers an adult-only escape and is a retreat enveloped by romance and nature.

Riviera Nayarit will also welcome a modern Ritz Carlton Hotel, one of the first resorts to be in Costa Canuva, a spectacular new development area.

For an even more intimate stay, Susurros Del Corazón will be a “bungalow by the beach”
that showcases the depth and flavour of mezcal or overlooks the sparkling blue Banderas Bay.
