Luxury Villa Rentals in Iyari, Punta Mita

Iyari is one of the more recently developed areas within Punta Mita, featuring contemporary villa architecture on elevated terrain with sweeping Banderas Bay views. Properties here stand out for their clean modern design, expansive terraces, and large infinity pools oriented toward the Pacific. The neighborhood is quieter and more intimate than the resort-facing zones of Punta Mita, but remains well connected to the beach clubs, the Pacifico Golf Course, and the dining scene along the peninsula. It’s a strong choice for design-conscious travelers and groups who want a sleek, modern property with serious views.

Iyari is one of the newer luxury villa enclaves developed within Punta Mita, reflecting a more recent phase of construction on the peninsula compared to the condominium clusters built up around the original beach club and marina areas in the development’s earlier years. As with the rest of Punta Mita, Iyari sits inside the gated 1,500-acre community that also contains two Jack Nicklaus-designed golf courses, the Four Seasons and St. Regis resorts, and a private polo club, all accessible via the peninsula’s internal roads regardless of which enclave a villa sits in. Being a newer development, Iyari’s homes tend to reflect more contemporary architectural styles and more current villa specifications than the older sections of Punta Mita, appealing to buyers and renters looking for recently built properties rather than the resort-era condominiums closer to the beach club. Its position within the broader peninsula still places golf, the beach clubs, and both anchor resorts within a short drive, since Punta Mita was designed as a single connected community rather than a series of isolated developments. Like the rest of the peninsula, Iyari benefits from Punta Mita’s layered security, a guarded main entrance to the entire development plus the community’s internal infrastructure, a defining feature of the resort that draws high-net-worth buyers and long-stay renters seeking privacy. The surrounding Riviera Nayarit coastline offers easy access to the fishing village of Punta de Mita and its boat launches, from which excursions depart for the Marietas Islands and for the well-known surf breaks that put this stretch of coast on the map for wave-riders. For villa guests, Iyari offers a newer-build option within Punta Mita’s established gated framework, combining contemporary architecture with the same golf, beach, and resort access shared across the entire peninsula.

Iyari sits within the gated Punta Mita resort, giving guests the security, beach clubs, golf, and services of the community while keeping a quiet, residential setting.
