The Ritz-Carlton has unveiled Siari, its newest Reserve property and one of the most anticipated luxury openings of 2025. Nestled between Riviera Nayarit’s lush jungle and the sparkling Pacific, Siari offers a sanctuary of sophisticated seclusion—where nature, heritage, and elevated comfort come together effortlessly.
Opening its doors this week, Ritz-Carlton Reserve Siari becomes the ninth entry in the brand’s most exclusive portfolio. True to the Reserve philosophy, the resort is deeply rooted in local culture, wellness, and the intention of slowing down. Here, every moment is designed to reconnect guests with the natural world around them.
A 920-Acre Haven of Wilderness and Serenity
The experience begins the moment guests arrive on Siari’s private 920-acre expanse. The resort’s name itself, translating to “green” in the Uto-Aztecan language, honors the region’s dense vegetation and rich ecological history.
Architects Bernardi + Peschard Arquitectura crafted the resort to seamlessly blend into its environment. Perched above a cliffside with panoramic Pacific views, Siari features locally quarried stone, native woods, and handwoven textures inspired by the traditions of Nayarit’s Indigenous communities. The result is an architectural narrative where nature is both the setting and the soul of the experience.
Cliffside Villas, Oceanview Suites & Private Residences
Accommodations span from 979-square-foot oceanview suites to sprawling 2,873-square-foot beachfront villas, each designed in jewel tones and warm woods that mirror the surrounding jungle. Every room comes with private butler service, while the resort’s 34 private residences elevate seclusion even further.
These four- and five-bedroom residences offer:
- Private infinity pools
- Expansive indoor-outdoor living
- Access to the largest swimmable beach in the area
- Immediate proximity to the region’s natural beauty
Whether for a short retreat or a multi-week escape, Siari offers unparalleled privacy immersed in nature.
Five Restaurants Inspired by Local Tradition
At the heart of the culinary experience is chef David Castro Hussong, who leads Siari’s five dining venues. Each concept draws from Nayarit’s traditional flavors while celebrating global techniques:
- Zula – Elevated Nayarit cuisine
- Naao – Asian-inspired dishes with local elements
- Masa Madre – A tribute to wood-fire cooking
- Estero – Globally inspired interpretations of local fare
- Aldaco – Pastry chef Maribel Aldaco’s dessert-focused venue
Guests can explore the resort’s multiple bars as well, including the atmospheric Library Bar, known for its refined cocktails and impressive wine selection.
A Deeply Meaningful Arrival Ritual
A hallmark of Ritz-Carlton Reserve Siari is its emphasis on heritage. Upon arrival, guests participate in the symbolic nierika ritual—walking barefoot through rosewater meant to cleanse the heart and spirit. They are then given a xukuri, a handcrafted bowl of locally foraged herbs signifying the beginning of a nature-centered journey.
This connection to local identity carries into the resort’s wellness rituals and treatments.
Há Yeka: A Temple of Water and Well-Being
Siari’s wellness sanctuary, Há Yeka—meaning “water” and “well-being”—spans an impressive 28,000 square feet. Nestled in lush gardens, the spa integrates ancient Huichol rituals with modern therapies.
Guests can experience:
- Hydrotherapy journeys
- Volcanic stone treatments
- Outdoor treatment rooms tucked into greenery
- Mind–body renewal inspired by Indigenous healing practices
Every detail is intended to lull the mind into stillness and reconnect the body with nature.
Adventure, Exploration & Private Access
With the Emerald Coast as its backyard, Siari offers seamless access to nature-driven experiences. Guests can explore via:
- Guided hikes
- Private yacht excursions
- Ocean adventures
- Personalized nature tours
The resort also features a private Tom Fazio–designed golf course, two helipads, private FBO services, and marina access—ensuring arrival and departure are just as exclusive as the stay itself.
A Sanctuary Designed for Discovery
“Our vision for Siari is to create a retreat where discovery unfolds naturally,” says general manager Guillermo Varela. Every pathway, every ritual, every architectural curve is crafted to awaken the senses and help guests reconnect with the rhythm of this extraordinary destination.
Only 45 minutes from Puerto Vallarta Airport, Ritz-Carlton Reserve Siari offers one of Mexico’s most compelling luxury escapes—where jungle, ocean, culture, and seclusion come together in perfect harmony.
