Every detail reflects that legacy. The result is a resort that feels refined yet relaxed, modern yet deeply connected to its surroundings. It is not about excess. It is about living well.

Riviera Nayarit: A Coastal Destination
UNICO 20°105° is set directly on the beachfront in Riviera Nayarit, one of Mexico’s most captivating coastal regions. Stretching over 300 kilometres along the Pacific coast, just north of Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit offers an extraordinary blend of pristine beaches, lush jungle landscapes, culture, and adventure. From Nuevo Vallarta to the historic town of San Blas, the region invites exploration in every direction.
This is a place where dolphins and whales are part of the natural scenery, where surfing, kayaking, and open-water swimming are amazing, and where nature remains central to the experience. The resort’s location strikes a rare balance: secluded enough to feel like a true escape, yet close enough to vibrant cultural life.
Beachfront living and personalised service
The beachfront setting defines the UNICO experience. Architecture and design are intentionally oriented toward the ocean, keeping the Pacific as the resort’s visual and emotional centrepiece. The beach is treated with care and respect, so the natural beauty remains intact and powerful.
Service elevates everything further. Each guest is paired with a dedicated local host, who functions less like a traditional concierge and more like a trusted friend with insider knowledge. Communication is effortless, often handled via WhatsApp, and requests are met with warmth and precision. Restaurant reservations, spa bookings, cabana reservations, tours, golf outings, special events, and celebrations are all handled seamlessly.
While some services, such as laundry, tours, golf, and spa reservations, are available at an additional cost, the experience consistently feels worth it. Mexican hospitality shines here: intuitive, attentive, and genuinely caring.
The Ocean View Estancia Suite
The Ocean View Estancia Suite is designed to slow you down the moment you step inside. Facing directly toward the Pacific, the suite offers uninterrupted panoramic views of the ocean. This one-bedroom estancia suite features a king-size bed and accommodates a maximum of two guests, making it ideal for couples or solo travellers seeking space, privacy, and calm.
Inside, the suite offers spacious living accommodations, including a comfortable living area, a charming breakfast nook, and a generous walk-in closet. The bathroom features double sinks, a rain shower, a separate WC, and a luxurious indoor hydrospa tub, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day.
The design palette is soothing and grounded, with sandy neutrals, natural woods, and subtle pops of Riviera Nayarit colour. Local craftsmanship and artwork add authenticity without overwhelming the space. It is important to showcase the region’s artistry.
Outdoors, the private terrace extends the experience even further. With a spa tub and lounge area, it becomes the perfect place for quiet mornings, golden-hour moments, or long evenings listening to the ocean. Amenities include 24-hour room service, a Nespresso coffee machine, entertainment and sound systems, and personalised local host service… among many other thoughtful details.
The Vibe: Wellness, Energy & Living Well
The vibe at UNICO 20°105° is intentionally balanced. It is lively without being overwhelming and calm without feeling quiet. Guests can choose their own rhythm each day. Those with an active spirit can enjoy experiences like beach volleyball or aqua-based fitness, while others may prefer poolside lounging, creative workshops, or social daytime gatherings.
Wellness plays a central role throughout the resort. A holistic fitness program, luxury spa treatments, and curated wellness journeys encourage guests to focus on self-care in a way that feels natural rather than indulgent. Signature programs bring together experts from wellness, fitness, nutrition, and beauty to offer immersive experiences. In the fitness area, they have a feature I have never ever seen before. It is an artificial daylight light which is in the roof. It was 10pm, and I could see daylight. It is a really cool feature that was so unique that it bathed the fitness area with natural light.
The energy throughout the resort is grounded and deliberate. Good food, beautiful spaces, genuine service, and a like-minded adult crowd create an atmosphere that encourages presence and enjoyment. It is a place for people who want to live well, consciously, and fully.
Adventures Beyond the Resort
For guests eager to explore beyond the property, Riviera Nayarit offers a wide range of curated adventures. Popular options include RZR tours through the Sierra Madre mountains, snorkelling excursions along the Pacific coast, and visits to iconic destinations such as the Marietas Islands.
Cultural experiences are equally compelling. Guests can explore towns like San Sebastián del Oeste, nestled in the Sierra Madre and known for its historic charm, tequila tastings, and agave fields, or discover local neighbourhoods for a more authentic connection to the region. Additional experiences include private boat tours, sunset dining at sea, beach parties, and nature-based excursions… among many more.
All experiences can be easily arranged through your personal host, or you can explore them independently if you prefer complete freedom.

At Coquita Lounge Bar, you will find a lively and upbeat bar and lounge that offers an artistic take on cocktails inspired by great works of art. A menu of small plates with a side of Vallarta’s most exciting emerging artists is completed with nightly live music in this one-of-a-kind experience.
Elevated with its rooftop pool that contains the best ocean views and impressive bar offerings. Either at Alto 20°105° with lounge chairs in front of the infinity-edge pool, or at the Pacífico Pool Bar with handcrafted cocktails. These two bars next to cooling waters invite you to embrace pure relaxation.
In-room dining is also a standout experience, available 24 hours a day. Breakfast, in particular, feels like a private ritual, fresh juices, comforting classics, and quiet mornings with the ocean just beyond the terrace… and much more.
