The Lux­u­ri­ous Four Sea­sons and St. Regis Offer World-Class Golf, Spas and Ameni­ties

Since 2001, the Four Sea­sons in Punta Mita has been attract­ing guests and buy­ers from around the world. The resort is one of the top earn­ers in the Four Sea­sons group with close to 90 per cent occu­pancy year round. Four Sea­sons has 173 guest rooms, includ­ing 32 suites, and guests have the option of rent­ing exclu­sive pri­vate res­i­dences grouped on the hill­side and at the shore, all boast­ing views of the ocean. Famed guests include Actor Robert De Niro, who stayed in one of the Pri­vate Beach­front Res­i­dence Vil­las, which fea­ture four to five-bedrooms, an open court­yard, gourmet kitchen, mar­ble bath­rooms and pri­vate ter­races with an infinity-edge pool and whirlpool.

Paci­fico fea­tures eight ocean-facing holes, and its sig­na­ture, par 3-island hole known, as ‘The Tail of the Whale’ is a rare jewel – a nat­ural island green.

Pur­chas­ing Real Estate Prop­erty Abroad in Mex­ico is Now Eas­ier for For­eign Investors
The Mex­i­can gov­ern­ment revised its for­eign own­er­ship laws in 1973, which made the real estate process eas­ier for for­eign investors who wanted to pur­chase prop­erty in Mex­ico. Real estate pur­chases are done through a fide­icomiso, a prop­erty trust, estab­lished by a Mex­i­can bank, which serves as a trustee for for­eign buy­ers, who as the ben­e­fi­ciary of the trust hold all own­er­ship rights. The fide­icomiso also allows for­eign buy­ers to pur­chase and own prop­erty in Mexico’s restricted zones (close to the coast­line or near inter­na­tional bor­ders). All Punta Mita prop­er­ties come with Title Insur­ance issued by Stew­art Title Guar­anty de Méx­ico and First American.
