Omni Hotels & Resorts has broken ground on Omni Pontoque Resort at Punta de Mita, the brand’s first luxury resort in Mexico. This beachfront resort will have 244 guestrooms and suites as well as two four-bedroom villas with views of the Pacific Ocean.
“The Omni Pontoque Resort at Punta de Mita marks an exciting new chapter for Omni as we further elevate our brand by expanding into this premier destination,” Omni Hotels & Resorts President Kurt Alexander said in a statement. “We look forward to giving our guests access to the property’s unique and exclusive surroundings and culture while bringing Omni’s service and experiences to the area.”
The exterior and interiors are locally inspired with a contemporary twist, evoking a residential feel that creates comfort and familiarity. Taking cues from the resort's jungle and ocean surroundings, the design inspiration leans heavily on clean architectural lines embellished with a mix of stone, wood and metals, resembling a modern beach home.
The resort will offer three original restaurant and bar concepts, as well as casual dining options.
Omni Pontoque will have a spa with 14 treatment rooms for wellness experiences and salon services, two retail shops, multiple pools throughout the property including adult-only and family-friendly options, an indoor and outdoor fitness center and a kids club.
With more than 27,000 square feet of meeting and event space, the Omni Pontoque will have a 6,000-square-foot ballroom and dedicated meeting rooms, each with exclusive event lawns and pre-function options with both jungle and ocean views. Additionally, an open-air event pavilion will stand apart from the resort for privacy, with an indoor-outdoor concept for special events.
Omni Hotels & Resorts is developing the resort in collaboration with a team of hospitality professionals, including The Beck Group, Farouki Farouki, Girvin Associates Inc., HKS Architects, Robert Glazier Architects and Waldrop & Nichols Studio.
