Whether gathering around the table with generations of loved ones or assembling a group of friends from near and far, Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita’s diverse portfolio of premium suites and homes makes for the perfect setting for a Thanksgiving get-together. Ranging from casitas and plunge pool suites to ocean residences, multi-bedroom villas, and extravagant beach homes, the resort’s luxury accommodations can house any group gathering for the holiday.

In addition to the resort’s offerings and experiences, residential guests can also enjoy a selection of exclusive in-home experiences, such as tequila tastings guided by an expert mixologist or a poolside piñata party for the whole family. 

“The family experience is everything in Punta Mita, and even more so during the winter holiday season,” shares John O’Sullivan, regional vice president and general manager at Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita. “With this in mind, we’re proud to offer an assortment of beach homes with plenty of communal spaces—ideal for gathering during this festive time of year—that invite guests to spend quality time with one another; making memories around the table, firepit or pool; playing games; and of course, enjoying a special, once-a-year kind of meal.” 

Christmas comes early at Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita
