Nayarit Recognized at the Rolling Stone Travel Awards 2025
Nayarit continues to strengthen its position as one of Mexico’s most desirable travel destinations, earning prominent recognition at the Rolling Stone Travel Awards 2025, presented by Rolling Stone en Español. These awards celebrate the best of global tourism across categories such as hotels, travel experiences, and destinations.
Nayarit Destinations and Experiences That Stand Out
Among the Travel Awards selections, two standout projects from Nayarit were highlighted by editors and travel experts for their excellence and innovation:
Naviva, A Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita
Naviva was recognized across multiple categories, including Best Hotels, Best Spas, Best Music Hotel (Naviva Unplugged at Naviva, A Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita), Best Quiet Luxury Hotel, Best Chain Hotel, Best Camp-Style Hotel Room, Best Adults-Only Hotel, and Best Wellbeing Hotels.
Located in Riviera Nayarit, Naviva is an exclusive adults-only sanctuary that embodies the concept of quiet luxury. Featuring just 15 jungle-immersed bungalows, private plunge pools, and fully personalized experiences—from wellness to fine dining—Naviva stands out for its seamless fusion of nature and elevated lifestyle.
Vidanta Nuevo Nayarit
This large-scale resort was recognized as Best Resort in Latin America and ranked among the Best Hotels for Family Vacations. Vidanta Nuevo Nayarit offers a comprehensive experience for all ages, with world-class spas, golf courses, entertainment areas, and diverse culinary options. Its family-friendly approach and wide range of activities have earned it a place among today’s leading travel destinations.
What Do These Recognitions Mean?
The Rolling Stone Travel Awards 2025 highlight the most outstanding destinations, hotels, and travel experiences worldwide—those that surprise travelers with exceptional design, memorable experiences, and strong cultural appeal.
The inclusion of Nayarit-based properties such as Naviva and Vidanta Nuevo Nayarit further validates the growth and sophistication of Riviera Nayarit as a globally competitive destination.
Nayarit as a Global Tourism Reference
Beyond Rolling Stone’s recognition, Nayarit has received multiple accolades in other international rankings and tourism awards. Destinations and experiences throughout the state—including Punta de Mita and Nuevo Nayarit—have also been featured in honors such as Best of Mexico 2025, reinforcing Nayarit’s status as a must-visit destination for travelers seeking nature, culture, and luxury.
