Siari, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, Invites Discovery Along Mexico’s Emerald Coast in Riviera Nayarit

Where the emerald jungles of the Sierra Madre meet the golden edges of the Pacific, a new sanctuary takes shape in Riviera Nayarit. Siari, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, opens within the private 920-acre enclave of Nauka as a rare coastal haven shaped by nature, guided by culture and defined by stillness. The resort unveils Nayarit in a way that honors its land and people, revealing a destination of rare beauty and seclusion, shaped by complete privacy, discreet luxury and the legendary anticipatory service that distinguishes the Ritz-Carlton Reserve experience.

Named for the Uto-Aztecan word Siari, meaning green, the property reflects the layers of ancient jungle that edge Mexico’s Emerald Coast, weaving a rare tapestry of nature and culture. Siari is a tribute to its surroundings, a place that feels discovered rather than designed. Here, time slows to the rhythm of the tides, and every detail honors the raw beauty and spiritual heritage of Riviera Nayarit.

“Siari represents the essence of Ritz-Carlton Reserve, destinations that capture the soul of their surroundings,” said Jamie Kerr, Head of Global Brand Marketing for The Ritz-Carlton. “As the ninth property in the Ritz-Carlton Reserve portfolio, Siari stands as a testament to our continued commitment to creating places of rare beauty and cultural depth, framed by lush landscapes and rich heritage that inspire meaningful connection and quiet discovery.”

Rooted in Nature and Heritage

Designed by award-winning Mexico City studio Bernardi + Peschard Arquitectura and perched on the edge of a coastal cliff, Siari’s 91 nature-framed sanctuaries, including the five-bedroom Siari Presidential Estate, blur the boundaries between architecture and landscape. Locally quarried stone, native woods, and handwoven textures echo the artistry of Nayarit’s indigenous communities, while open-air layouts immerse guests in the ethereal beauty of Siari’s surrounds.

Each space tells its own story: from ocean-view suites starting at 979 square feet to beachfront villas spanning up to 2,873 square feet, every accommodation embodies the stillness and warmth that define the Ritz-Carlton Reserve spirit. All while offering the indulgence of personalized butler service.

Siari encompasses 34 private residences, with select four- and five-bedroom retreats available for extended stays and group escapes. These residences extend the Siari experience across 4.3 miles of pristine coastline through the region’s largest swimmable beach, where days begin beside private infinity pools and evenings are framed by the soft radiance of the Pacific horizon.

A Journey Through Flavor

Culinary exploration at Siari is guided by celebrated Mexican chef David Castro Hussong, whose five distinct dining destinations reflect a deep reverence for land and sea.

At signature restaurant Zula, refined Nayarit cuisine meets coastal simplicity; Estero celebrates the joy of gathering, blending local flavors with global influences; and Naao reimagines Asian flavors through a local lens. Masa Madre celebrates the primal art of wood-fired cooking, while Maribel’s, created in collaboration with pastry chef Maribel Aldaco, transforms the traditional patisserie into a luminous space of sweet and savory delight.

Every plate is a dialogue between terrain and tradition, an homage to the artisans, farmers, and fishermen who shape the region’s culinary soul. Complementing the cuisine, a variety of bars and lounges, including the vibrant Library Bar, invite discovery through creative concoctions, classic cocktails, and curated vintages crafted by master sommeliers and mixologists.

The Spirit of Renewal

The journey begins at Siari’s nierika, a symbolic passage to another state of consciousness, where walking barefoot through healing rosewater purifies heart and soul. Slipping into luxurious slippers, each guest receives a xukuri, a sacred gourd bowl of locally foraged herbs, marking the transition into a haven rooted in nature and discovery.

Drawing from the Wixárika language native to Nayarit, Há Yeka, meaning “water” and “well-being,” is Siari’s 28,000-square-foot wellness center devoted to balance and restoration. More than a physical element, water serves as a spiritual current that brings clarity to body, mind, and spirit. Within lush gardens, ancient Huichol healing rituals merge with contemporary therapies. Hydrotherapy circuits, volcanic stone treatments and indigenous botanicals converge to honor the belief that nature itself holds the power to transform. Outdoor treatment rooms heighten the senses, while aromas, salts and purification elements from the surrounding landscape deepen connection to nature.

Every detail of Há Yeka invites a profound sense of renewal, honoring Nayarit’s heritage while transforming the wellness experience.

Where Discovery Awaits

Between the Sierra Madre foothills and the Pacific horizon, Siari invites exploration at every turn. Here, guests are free to explore the Emerald Coast at their own pace, whether through land adventures, ocean pursuits, or thoughtfully curated moments designed to inspire curiosity and foster meaningful connections. Guided hikes wind through jungles alive with birdsong; private yachts depart from Nauka’s deep-water marina to uncover hidden coves; and younger travelers find wonder in The Wild Kinship Center, where nature and creativity converge through hands-on cultural immersion.

Guests and residents also enjoy exclusive access to a Tom Fazio–designed championship golf course, sculpted into the coastline and reserved solely for members and guests of Siari, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve.

“Our vision for Siari is to create a retreat where discovery unfolds naturally,” said Guillermo Varela, General Manager, Siari, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve. “From the moment of arrival, every experience is designed to awaken the senses and reconnect guests to the rhythm of this extraordinary place.”

A Hidden World Within Reach

Guests arriving by private jet, helicopter, or yacht will enjoy direct arrival through Siari’s private FBO services, two on-site helipads, and deep-slip marina access, ensuring effortless connectivity to this secluded stretch of Mexico’s Pacific coast.

Siari lies 45 minutes from Puerto Vallarta International Airport and 35 minutes from Tepic International Airport, with United Airlines introducing the first U.S. carrier route to Tepic via Saturday-only nonstop service from Houston (IAH) beginning December 20, 2025.

A Growing Reserve Portfolio

Siari joins the rare collection of Ritz-Carlton Reserve sanctuaries, including Dorado Beach (Puerto Rico), Zadún (Mexico), Mandapa (Bali), Phulay Bay (Thailand), Higashiyama (Japan), Nujuma (Saudi Arabia), Rissai Valley (China), and Nekajui (Costa Rica), as The Ritz-Carlton brand continues to expand its ultra-luxury presence across the world’s most remarkable and remote destinations.
