Forty-eight forested acres on a private Pacific peninsula, and only 3% of the ecosystem disturbed in bringing it to life — that restraint is the founding principle of Naviva, A Four Seasons Resort, which arrived in Punta Mita in December 2022 as Four Seasons' first luxury tented resort in the Americas. Luxury Frontiers, the specialist studio behind a growing canon of high-end safari and wilderness camps, handled both architecture and interiors, deploying their biophilic framework with particular care here: the 15 permanent tented bungalows are threaded through the jungle canopy rather than imposed upon it, their curved tensile roofs — white and taut as sails — rising just enough above the treeline to catch the Pacific breeze while leaving the forest ceiling largely intact. Inside, the material palette is warm and deliberately local: reclaimed hardwood decking runs continuously from living area to terrace and into the private pool surrounds, where pink granite boulders have been left exactly where they were found, incorporated into the pool's freeform edge as though the water simply gathered around them. Interiors layer linen upholstery, solid walnut furniture with clean Arts-and-Crafts joinery, jute rugs, and rattan lanterns — nothing that couldn't credibly have come from the region's craft traditions. The effect, across every space, is of a camp that grew out of the land rather than one installed on top of it, which at Naviva is precisely the point.
