Fifteen tented villas spread across 48 acres of Pacific-facing jungle make the pitch here: total seclusion, no itinerary, no dress code for dinner. This adults-only, all-inclusive glamping resort sits beside a Four Seasons but deliberately leaves that world behind. A personal guide helps fill the days with snorkel safaris or agave tastings, and the tents themselves come with plunge pools and soaking tubs, which softens the roughing-it premise considerably. Forbes Four Star.

Twelve miles down the coast from Puerto Vallarta and only reachable by boat, this eco-resort holds a Michelin 3 Keys designation and a serious commitment to making you put your phone down. The 33 open-air cabins have three walls by design, so the jungle and Banderas Bay fill the fourth. It bills itself as a yoga retreat, but the sweat lodge, spa, and beach club mean you can fill a week without ever attempting a Warrior pose.

A long sweep of Pacific beach anchored the decision to build here, and everything at this luxury Auberge resort in Punta de Mita radiates outward from it. The terraced pools cascade toward the water, the spa runs almost absurdly large, and the restaurants work through the local coastal traditions rather than ignoring them. Sailing out to the nearby islands is easy to arrange, which gives the whole stay a convincing reason to leave the pool. The Michelin Guide awarded it two Keys.

Adults-only is the operative phrase at this boutique resort perched above the Garza Blanca Preserve, where the rooftop infinity pool overlooks the Pacific and no one under 18 has ever smeared anything on the gold-plated lobby surfaces. The 74 suites run to gold-tiled tubs, hammock terraces, and panoramic bay views, with a steakhouse, a Japanese restaurant, a spa, and several cocktail bars keeping everyone occupied. Selected by the Michelin Guide.
