Even the simple act of lounging by the pool is enhanced by the luxurious service at the Four Seasons. Alongside sun lotion stations and chilled towels, a sunglasses doctor can polish your shades for you. Head to the beach, and things get even better. Maybe you’ll choose a lunch of fresh oysters, or just doze in the cocoon day-beds hanging from palm trees. When it’s time for a dip in the ocean, a water waiter can wade out with your cocktails.

An exclusive, isolated idyll awaits nature lovers at Imanta, set apart from the other luxury offerings on this elite stretch of coastline. Perched on a rocky promontory, where the jungle reaches the sea, this 12-room resort sits on 250 acres (101ha) of rainforest and has its own private stretch of beach. Villas made of wood, stone and glass, with their own plunge pools, offer an immersive jungle experience, but none more so than the triple-floored Tree House, with its open-sided bedroom, secluded beach and private waterfalls.

Delight in the 460ft-long (140m) path made from a million vibrant blue and yellow mosaic tiles, which runs spine-like through the entirety of the hotel – even across the pool and onto the beach. Its design honors the local Huichol community, an inspiration echoed throughout this unique beachside space. Bedrooms have colorful wicker saucer chairs, headboards made from punctured tin, and marble-top bars. The hip bohemian vibe continues in the restaurants and bars. The new fish-market-inspired beach restaurant has an informal approach: sit on stools by the fish bar, and chat like a true Pata Salada – local slang for a bay resident.
