El Encanto Punta Mita is a residential community inside the gated Punta Mita resort, set on the Banderas Bay side of the peninsula along a gentle slope overlooking the golf courses and water toward Puerto Vallarta. The neighborhood offers a mix of private villas, luxury residences, and penthouses, giving families, couples, and groups more choice than a single-style estate community.
El Encanto Punta Mita rentals can include private pools, large terraces, open indoor-outdoor living areas, bunk rooms, and family-friendly layouts, while some properties also offer dedicated staff, golf carts, and Punta Mita membership privileges. The variety makes it easier to choose a property that fits the size and style of your group.
The location also makes it convenient for guests who want to spend time both inside the resort and around nearby Punta de Mita village. Restaurants, beaches, golf, beach clubs, and other Punta Mita amenities are all within easy reach, while the residential setting remains quieter than the village itself.
Rental Escapes offers a curated collection of El Encanto properties within our broader Punta Mita villa rentals. Your Villa Specialist can help you compare villas, residences, views, staffing, membership privileges, and group capacity, while your Concierge can arrange airport transfers, grocery pre-stocking, chef service, childcare, golf, beach club plans, boat charters, wellness services, and other details around your stay.

Its position on the Banderas Bay side of the peninsula also gives many properties a mix of ocean and golf-course views, with terraces and outdoor living areas that make the most of the elevated setting. Private pools, plunge pools, bunk rooms, and staffed options add flexibility for families, couples traveling together, and multigenerational groups.
El Encanto is also convenient for guests who want to move between Punta Mita’s resort amenities and nearby Punta de Mita village. Golf, beach clubs, restaurants, beaches, and other activities are all within easy reach, while the neighborhood itself remains residential and quiet.
