Fifteen luxury tents will be tucked among 48 forested acres overlooking the Pacific Ocean at Naviva , Four Seasons ’ first adult-only tented resort in the Americas , when it opens in December 2022 . The environment is designed to foster community , spark personal growth and enhance knowledge . The concept is inspired by biophilia , meaning “ love of life or living things .”
When guests arrive , they ’ ll meet their guide on a cocoon-inspired bamboo bridge overlooking a deep forest ravine . From there , guests will head to their luxury tents . Each tent includes a private plunge pool , spacious indoor and outdoor areas and a private outdoor shower .

Advise visitors to take an afternoon to visit a spa pod tucked away in the lush forest . For physical wellbeing , guests can hike or run along scenic trails or practice strength training in the open-air outdoor gym . Once they ’ ve worked up an appetite , Copal Cocina , with its natural wood-fire cooking methods , awaits . Plus , guests can play handmade games such as backgammon and foosball on a table made from reclaimed wood .
Located just 45 minutes from the airport , Naviva guests are welcome to visit the nearby Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita with its ten restaurants and bars , two golf courses , three pools and two beaches .
“ Our location tucked in a cliffside forest creates the feeling of being disconnected in a faraway destination , when in reality , we ’ re only a short flight away from the US ,” says Ronny Fernández , Resort Manager , Naviva , A Four Seasons Resort . “ Our untamed natural setting organically encourages guests to embark on their own personal journeys .”
