Within Punta Mita, the Four Season's beachfront Bahia restaurant offers a chic setting for cocktails and grilled fish or steaks. This resort also offers the contemporary Mexican Ketsi-under the direction of acclaimed chef Richard Sandoval-as well as the gourmet Aramara.

Carolina's at the St. Regis Resort earns our highest accolades for its exquisite décor...and its fabulous bar! The resort's Sea Breeze Beach Club is another great option for seaside cocktails and conversation. Sufi at Porto Fortuna's Beach Club has earned our raves, for its creative cuisine and stunning setting overlooking the Bay, with the lights of Vallarta glittering in the distance.
