Conrad 1/3/5: Time-tailored itineraries to savour
One-hour itineraries
Time-conscious guests can instantly experience regional artistry with a 60-minute itinerary.
1.
Nodding to the folklore of the Wixárika – the indigenous people of Nayarit who still thrive in the region – Conrad Punta de Mita’s art collection merges contemporary artistry with Mexican tradition, offering a connection to this ancient culture through vivid visual storytelling. Guests are invited on a one-hour art tour to engage with these artworks, learn about Wixárika history and discover collectable contemporary artists. The hotel’s support for regional creative talent doesn’t end there. Mexico City sculpture collective Máscaras de Alambre staged the hotel’s first art-in-residence exhibition in 2022.
2.
Circular motifs feature across the art at Conrad Punta de Mita, from Sibylle Bauer’s celestial Penacho Huichol (pictured) to The Wheel, a serpentine-like piece by Isabel Morales Gómez.
3.
Conrad Punta de Mita’s pool is home to Espectador (Spectator), a wire sculpture by Máscaras de Alambre. The skull is a symbol of Mexican culture, thanks to the Day of the Dead celebrations.
Three-hour itineraries
With a shaman as your guide, a wellness itinerary can provide the ideal way to relax.
4.
Conrad Spa offers a haven for rejuvenation. Treatments are rooted in the ancient wellness traditions of the Huichol people, who still live in Mexico’s Riviera Nayarit today.
5.
Conrad Spa uses Indigenous products, such as jackfruit and copal-infused clay. Therapies embrace Huichol detoxification beliefs, as heat and herbs cleanse the mind and body.
6.
A three-hour itinerary gives guests the chance to enjoy the spa’s trademark temazcal experience. Meaning “house of heat”, temazcal is a four-part purification ritual designed to reconnect with nature’s four elements: earth, fire, water and air. A local shaman guides guests through a mental purification and detoxification process then into a lodge where volcanic rocks are infused with sacred herbs to create aromatic steam. As the temperature rises, guided meditation and chanting takes place, before a moment of introspection is encouraged.
Five-hour itineraries
7.
At the heart of Mexican culture lies the rich world of agave spirits. A visit to Cachasol gives Conrad Punta de Mita guests an authentic look into a working, ancestral-style distillery where craftsmanship and cuisine converge. It began as a tequila distillery but quickly expanded into Nayarit to produce raicilla, another agave spirit exclusive to this region. After walking through the verdant agave fields, a tour of Cachasol distillery to see how ancient techniques meet modern craft. Guests are walked through every step of the production process to gain a deeper understanding of the age-old techniques still used here. Cachasol’s innovative take on traditional small-batch spirits is only available at the distillery or Conrad Punta de Mita’s seven distinctive bars and restaurants.
8.
After your distillery tour, enjoy a guided tequila or racillia tasting. Sample each of Cachasol’s offerings before bottling your own barrel-aged blend to take home as a gift.
9.
No visit is complete without a farm-to-table lunch in Cachasol’s open-air pavilion. Time-honoured Mexican dishes are served with cocktails made using herbs and flowers from the on-site garden.
