Horseback riding, stand-up paddleboarding, snorkeling, swimming in the pool or the sea, hiking the jungle trails to Sayulita—these are but a few of the pleasures available on site. And if you seek something else, wave-riding, whalewatching, or perhaps a sunset sail on a luxurious catamaran, it can easily be arranged. People come to this lost beach, and find themselves.
- Playa Escondida
Romantic, organic, secluded; gourmet food; gorgeous, isolated beachfront location; lovely pool and spa, great yoga program; unique, individually-designed rooms; peace and quiet just five minutes from town.

This hidden beach, a few coves south of Sayulita, is one of the secret gems of the Nayarit coast, and home to the exquisite, nature-inspired organic wonderland that is the Hotel Playa Escondida. A hotel without signage, without a map, one that has grown intuitively on its lush, beachfront site, Playa Escondida is a retreat even from the low-keyed “busyness” of Sayulita. Every guestroom is unique. The hotel spa offers a range of massages and treatments, the restaurant features an inspired, international and Mexican gourmet menu, and you can do internet (if you must) in the open air bar, where they often show movies at night.
