After energies spent meeting everyone else's needs at work, at home, and everywhere in between, the idea of a vacation should feel restorative, not demanding. The ideal escape offers indulgence without constant decision-making, creating space to truly relax while every detail is thoughtfully handled.

A luxury all-inclusive stay at UNICO 20°105° Riviera Nayarit offers exactly that. This adults-only resort in Nuevo Vallarta, set along Mexico's Pacific coast, eliminates the need to choose between ocean and mountains by offering both. The property stretches along a golden shoreline with the Sierra Madre Mountains rising in the distance, placing guests within the refined, modern resort community of Riviera Nayarit, where natural beauty and elevated hospitality come together seamlessly.

The Location

The Riviera Nayarit is a 200-mile long destination on Mexico's Pacific coastline with a mix of luxury resorts, surfing towns, secluded beaches, and jungle-covered mountains. As a diverse alternative to nearby Puerto Vallarta, it offers activities like whale watching to cultural immersion in historic villages like picturesque San Sebastián del Oeste.

Recently opened in late 2025, the contemporary 141-room boutique hotel is elegantly furnished with custom-designed furniture and local artwork. Aside from a luxurious ambience, UNICO Riviera Nayarit has everything on property so that guests can fully unwind without having to plan anything. The luxury all-inclusive UNICO includes chef-driven specialty restaurants, curated cocktails, attentive personalized service, and resort-wide strong, high-speed Wi-Fi service.

Personalized Service Before You Arrive

Your guest experience can begin before you check in at UNICO Riviera Nayarit. The all-inclusive hotel provides a complimentary curated mini-bar which is stocked with your personal beverage preferences available from the resort. The beer selection includes Modelo Especial and Corona Light, and non-alcoholic options by Pepsi.

A pillow menu allows you to select the best Perfect Fit or Tempur-Pedic option for your sleep style or support preference, such as lumbar or neck.

A stay at UNICO is designed to engage the senses through local culture, and scent plays a key role in this experience. It does so by providing an aromatherapy menu with custom aromas inspired by regional plants, landscapes, and flavors. Current signature scents include "Latido de Verano" (Summer Heartbeat), an aromatic blend that opens up with an explosion of ginger, Moroccan lemons, and peppermint, and evolves into a sensual warmth. This fragrance is ideal for starting the day with energy or ending the night in style. "Orangina Tropical" is a harmonious composition of orange, lemon, orange blossom, and white tea that gently awakens the senses and evokes wellbeing.

Check-In Experience

When you arrive at the resort, a reservation staff member will lead you to the lounge seating area at the Coquita Bar off the lobby. Here, they will check you into your room and present you with an RFID wristband. But first, you will be offered a delicious and refreshing pink-colored "welcome mocktail" made with grapefruit juice, lime juice, soursop nectar, grapefruit soda, and a rim of sea salt and Tajín seasoning.

Guests are also assigned a concierge-like "local host," a hotel employee who assists guests with arranging curated tours, outdoor adventures, or setting up your outdoor spa tub with bubbles and bath salts.

Rooms and Suites

Best room choices are the spacious Alcoba Oceanfront, offering panoramic views of the Pacific coast, or the ground-level Alcoba Swim-Up with a private swimming pool. Both have an outdoor living room with an outdoor hydro spa tub. The Estancia Suites are available with one or two bedrooms, with an additional spa tub indoors and walk-in closets.

Among the additional in-room touches, aside from curated minibar, pillow and aromatherapy menus, expect Esencia Spa bathroom amenities, plush spa robes, woven bath slippers, and free straw sun hats and a straw tote bag.

Fine Dining Restaurants

Foodies will appreciate the distinct flavors from Agua Madre, offering a contemporary Mexican menu overseen by celebrity chef Nicolas Cano; Lia, serving Southern Italian favorites; and KOBO, presenting Japanese-inspired cuisine.

The menu at poolside Agua Madre emphasizes seafood, from the daily catch to grilled shrimp to octopus, as well as Mexican dishes from tacos to quesadillas and more. Be sure to start with their exceptional salsas and guacamole served with homemade totopos (tortilla chips) and your favorite Mexican beer.

Located outside the hotel's lobby lounge, on the pathway to the pools and beach, you'll find Lia serving up Neapolitan-style pizza prepared in wood-burning ovens and homemade pastas. Enjoy a glass or bottle of your favorite varietal of wine with fresh-caught fish or meat dish, but begin with one of their incredibly fresh salads, like Mozzarella Caprese, Panzanella, or grilled Caesar.

KOBO offers a wide range of Japanese cuisine, including a ramen bar, sushi counter, and yakitori grill. Guests can also enjoy a full cocktail bar with an extensive selection of hot and cold sake, soju, Japanese whiskies, and craft cocktails or mocktails.

Don't overlook Café Inez on the lobby level, just off the hotel elevators. This relaxed European cafe is an inviting spot for early to late morning coffee and tea creations. An even better reason to stop is for their freshly-baked French and Mexican pastries as well as smoothies, which are worthy of the indulgence.

In-Room Dining

Room service meal orders are also complimentary and easily used for breakfast or a post-spa treatment lunch. In-room breakfast allows guests to enjoy the morning sun lighting up the sky while listening to the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean through their terrace's open sliding doors.

Along with a hot pot of coffee, we recommend a light morning meal of Greek yogurt with sides of local honey and homemade granola, combined with the Continental breakfast of fresh fruit, fresh juice, and basket of pastries. Heartier choices include the traditional Chilaquiles, a tortilla casserole topped with Rojo or Verde sauce with egg, chicken or Birria-style short rib, or the popular Breakfast Burrito.

Lounges and Bars

UNICO Riviera Nayarit excels at mixology and stocks premium spirits as well as an expanding and well-balanced global wine selection. All complimentary, except for a selection of à la carte wines that provide guests with access to more precious labels.

In addition to the Coquita lobby bar, there are two pool bars. For the central pool area, the Pacífico Pool Bar provides pool service to guests on sun loungers or day beds as well as at the swim-up bar.

Perched at the top of UNICO, Alto 20°105° is the resort's rooftop pool bar and lounge, offering some of the most sweeping ocean views in the Riviera Nayarit. Overlooking the vast Pacific, the space features an infinity-edge pool, restaurant, and bar, along with pool lounge chairs and private cabanas. This rooftop oasis is a prime spot to spend the day soaking up the sun and catching sea breezes.

Popular cocktails include Don Julio tequila-based Mango Margaritas and Palomas or Cucumber Martinis shaken or stirred with Hendricks Gin.

Curated Experiences

From spa treatments and wellness programs to excursions and cultural activities, UNICO Riviera Nayarit designs experiences that feel exclusive and thoughtfully programmed.

The spa at UNICO 20°105° Riviera Nayarit offers a calm, full-service retreat focused on restoring balance to both body and mind. Designed as a holistic wellness experience, the spa blends luxury treatments with locally inspired rituals that reflect the spirit of the destination.

The treatment menu features a thoughtful mix of signature experiences, beauty services, and therapeutic bodywork, all using high-quality products in a serene, adults-only setting. Standout 130-minute treatments include the Wellness Moments experience and the UNICO 20°105° Signature Experience, a comprehensive facial and body treatment that combines exfoliation, a nourishing body wrap, tension-relieving massage, and an antioxidant facial to renew the skin and ease physical stress.

Guests are encouraged to begin their spa visit with the hydrotherapy circuit, a water-driven wellness ritual designed to enhance relaxation and circulation. The circuit includes temperature-contrast pools, steam rooms, and quiet relaxation area, creating a gentle transition into deeper treatment work. Whether enjoyed before a service or as a standalone experience, the hydrotherapy circuit reinforces the spa's emphasis on unhurried, restorative wellness.

The resort's all-inclusive wellness offerings invite guests to fully immerse themselves in the natural beauty and laid-back rhythm of Mexico's Pacific Coast. Days can be spent lounging beachside, joining energizing Aqua Fit sessions, or exploring the water with paddleboarding and kayaking, both available by mid-March.

A stay at the adult-only, luxury all-inclusive UNICO Riviera Nayarit is ideal for sophisticated travelers who want maximum enjoyment with minimal decision-making, allowing more time to relax and enjoy its beautiful beachfront location.
