There are places you arrive at knowing they will change your idea of a destination. And then there is
Siari, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve —a sanctuary that doesn’t introduce itself, but reveals itself slowly, like a coastline that has been waiting for you all along.
Built within Nauka, a 920-acre enclave carved between the Sierra Madre jungle and the Pacific,
Siari, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve is the kind of opening that reshapes how travelers experience Mexico. Not because it is new, but because it feels ancient in spirit—rooted in the landscape, guided by its light, and grounded in the stories of the people who live here.
For travelers who thought they already knew Riviera Nayarit,
Siari, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve is a quiet correction.
Arrival: Where the Jungle Parts Like a Curtain
The journey begins long before reaching your sanctuary. The road into Nauka is narrow, wrapped in vines and birdsong, and there’s a moment—almost imperceptible—when the jungle thins and you catch your first glimpse of the Pacific. Not a beach club, not a marina, not a cluster of resorts. Just water, cliffs and wind.
That is Siari, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve power from the first second: it makes you feel as if you’re stepping into protected land, not a hotel.
Upon arrival, one guide dressed in traditional Wixárika attire welcomes you into a gentle, grounding ritual. Water and the scent of copal mark the beginning of a quieter state of mind.
Sanctuaries Suspended Between Sea and Forest
Siari, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve architecture was conceived to disappear into the terrain. Suites and villas sit among palms, cliffs and tangled roots, framed by open-air layouts that erase the line between indoors and out.
From your sanctuary, the soundtrack is always the same: the crunch of leaves under geckos, the ocean pulling back into itself, the wind brushing against native wood. At sunrise, the sky turns a pale coral that seems to belong only to this stretch of Mexico.
Each space feels like a refuge designed for presence. Not for photos. Not for display. For being.
Cuisine Guided by the Pacific and the People Who Know It
You can taste where you are in every dish.
Chef David Castro Hussong’s culinary direction is not about spectacle; it’s about precision, intuition and memory. At Zula by David Castro Hussong, the flavors of Nayarit appear as they are—clean, bright, confidently simple. At Estero, global influences slip naturally into the local palette. At Naao, Asia and Mexico speak the same language.
But the most memorable moments happen outside the dining rooms:
● A plate of just-caught jackfish grilled over wood in Masa Madre, eaten with your feet in the sand
● Pastries at Maribel’s that echo the pan dulce your grandmother always wished she could make
● A mezcal at the Library Bar that tastes like minerals and sea salt rather than smoke
It’s cuisine that doesn’t need adjectives. It needs attention.A
Há Yeka: When Wellness Returns to Its Origins
Siari, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve 2,600 m² wellness center, Há Yeka, is not a spa in the traditional sense. It is a place where rituals carry meaning.
You follow the sound of water through gardens of native plants. The air smells of volcanic stone warmed by sunlight. Treatments unfold slowly—some outdoors, surrounded by the jungle—drawing from Huichol knowledge passed through generations.
Hydrotherapy, botanical infusions, open-air purification rooms, and elemental therapies create an experience not of pampering, but of reconnection.
There is no playlist. There is no scripted “wellness journey.” Just quiet, earth, water, and the feeling of being restored to yourself.
Exploration: Mexico’s Emerald Coast, Unfiltered
Unlike other coastal regions, Nauka was designed for curiosity, not consumption.
From Siari, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, you can:
● follow guides through jungle trails humming with wildlife
● board a private boat to explore sea caves and untouched beaches
● wander a coastline where you might not see another person for hours
● introduce children to nature through The Wild Kinship Center, where creativity replaces screens
For some guests, the highlight will be access to the Tom Fazio championship course. For others, it will be the silence that fills the spaces between experiences.
Siari, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve allows both.
Why Siari, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, Matters
With Siari, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, Mexico doesn’t just welcome another high-end resort—it redefines what its Pacific coast can feel like when nature leads and design listens.
It is not Punta Mita. It is not Puerto Vallarta. It is not trying to be anywhere else.
It is a return to something essential: A coastline shaped by time, protected by its people, and ready to be discovered by those who seek places that still feel untouched.
