You're in the spa of a lavish beachfront hotel when the masseuse whispers, "I hope you don't mind, but we sent the other 2,000 guests home; the hotel is all yours." Normally at this point you would awaken and pummel the snooze alarm. But this is real.
This is Rancho 9, a Marco Aldaco designed cocoon of beachfront luxury situated in Punta Mita, where los corrientes grandes swirl together to serve up some of the best surfing and deep sea fishing in Mexico, and where your party can experience the ultimate Mexican estate.
The short ride from Puerto Vallarta's expanded international airport leads you to our gates; there you are beckoned by a fig tree already two centuries old the day Napoleon was exiled. Our concierge welcomes you, our staff pampers you, our gourmet chef nourishes you and our private white-sand beach beckons you.
After a hard day of business, or golf or tennis, or whale watching or snorkeling, or scuba diving or sailing you finish your massage in our meditation room and melt into the infinity pool, adult beverage in hand. There, soaked by the warmth of the Mexican sun and buoyed by the peace that is Rancho 9, you drink in the best ocean view in all of Punta Mita.
Now…Try not to smile. Go ahead. We dare you.
