Pontoquito Punta Mita is a private coastal enclave east of Punta Mita, set along the shoreline near Playa La Lancha and Bolongo, before Paradise Coves. The area is known for beachfront estates, tropical landscaping, and a quieter residential setting within easy reach of Punta Mita’s golf courses, beach clubs, dining, and other resort amenities.
Pontoquito villas are designed around the coastline, with expansive indoor-outdoor living areas, ocean views, private pools, and direct access to the beach. Large homes in the community can also include full villa staff, private dining spaces, fitness and wellness rooms, media rooms, and extensive gardens, making Pontoquito a strong fit for families and groups planning longer stays or milestone trips.
The community has a more residential feel than Punta Mita’s condo-focused neighborhoods, with an emphasis on privacy, coastal living, and larger estate-style homes. Days can easily revolve around the villa itself, with time split between the pool, beach, outdoor dining areas, and the water, while the rest of Punta Mita remains close by for golf, dining, spa visits, and beach club days.
Pontoquito is part of our broader collection of Punta Mita villa rentals. Your Villa Specialist can help you compare Pontoquito with other beachfront and estate communities around the peninsula, while your Concierge can arrange airport transfers, grocery pre-stocking, private dining, golf, beach club access, boat charters, spa services, and other details around your stay.
Pontoquito is best suited to travelers who want a quieter beachfront setting with more privacy than a condo or resort-style community. Large villas sit close to the water, with broad terraces, private pools, gardens, and enough indoor-outdoor space for families and groups to spend most of the day at the property.
The area also works well for guests who want a more self-contained stay. Full villa staff, private dining, wellness spaces, and direct beach access can make the villa itself the center of the trip, while Punta Mita’s golf courses, beach clubs, restaurants, and other amenities remain close enough for days out.
For groups comparing communities around the peninsula, Pontoquito offers a different experience from condo-focused areas like Hacienda de Mita or Las Terrazas. The emphasis here is on standalone beachfront estates, privacy, and a quieter coastal setting east of Punta Mita, near Playa La Lancha and Bolongo.

Set directly on the beach, La Caleta is a six-bedroom estate for up to 12 guests with 12,400 square feet of indoor-outdoor living space. The home is built around a palapa-style great room overlooking a saltwater infinity pool and hot tub, with ocean and garden views extending throughout the property.
A separate beachfront dining pavilion gives the villa another gathering space right by the water, while the main house includes a fully equipped kitchen, outdoor pizza oven and grill, fitness room, massage room, home theater, wine cave, and extensive landscaped grounds. Kayaks and snorkel gear are also provided for time on the water.
La Caleta is fully staffed with a chef, butler, housekeepers, and waiters, with daily housekeeping and 24-hour security also included. Families and groups can spend much of the stay at the property itself, with meals, beach time, wellness, and evenings by the pool all handled within the villa setting.
