Four Seasons Naviva

HOLISTIC CAMPING RETREAT

Four Seasons Naviva is the brand's first American hotel to welcome guests to adults-only luxury tents. The resort offers a true retreat in the nature of the Riviera Nayarit, overlooking the Pacific Ocean at the northern end of Bahía de Banderas. Set amidst 20 hectares of forest on a private peninsula, Naviva is located close to its sister property, Four Seasons Punta Mita. As a result, Naviva guests can enjoy all the facilities of the neighbouring resort whenever they wish. However, to enjoy an exquisite stay facing the Pacific, there is no need to leave Naviva: the 15 luxurious canvas tents, all equipped with a private pool, invite you to recharge your batteries in a natural haven of peace far from the hustle and bustle of the cities. They are set far enough apart from each other to provide privacy and communion with the forest, with the inside and outside of the tent merging for a deep and permanent connection with nature, between forest and ocean. During your retreat, you can enjoy Mexican coffee, stargaze, take part in sunset rituals... and also enjoy forest bathing or sound and breath therapies at the Naviva Spa. The cocoon-shaped spa pods are inspired by the seed of the kapok tree, a majestic local tree. Every space offered by the resort provides privacy and relaxation, and fosters human connection in addition to reconnecting with nature. More than just a restaurant, Copal Cocina is an open, convivial kitchen at the epicentre of Mexican gastronomic traditions, honouring fresh, local, seasonal produce. At Naviva, there is a feeling of being at home on this paradisiacal cliffside at the edge of the world.

THE EXTRAORDINARY

During your retreat at Naviva, you will benefit from the support of knowledgeable guides who will encourage your authentic immersion in the soul of Mexico.

ETHICS

The Four Seasons Naviva is reducing its environmental footprint with the help of solar panels that provide 80% of the resort’s electricity. The hotel was designed using local materials; its architecture promotes natural ventilation; and permeable concrete has been used on the access roads for vehicles. The hotel, which works closely with the local community, also carries out various initiatives to reduce waste, conserve water, promote local produce and preserve biodiversity.
