The newly opened Siari, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve harnesses the folklore of the indigenous Huichol tribe for a distinctive stay among the rainforests of Mexico’s western coast.
Siari isn’t Mexico’s first Ritz-Carlton Reserve. It’s no surprise that this South American country is the first to have two of the brand’s grande dame properties, considering the rich heritage and scenic landscapes that shape its culture. However, instead of feeling like a sequel to Zadún Los Cabos in San José del Cabo, Siari feels more like an entirely different entry within the same franchise, transferring the same essence into a packaging that resonates with its new locale, true to the Ritz-Carlton Reserve ethos.
Unbothered by vying for the most strategic spot, Siari finds its location 70km away from the Puerto Vallarta international airport. The lengthy drive isn’t intended to be a chore, instead a prelude to the resort’s tranquillity, far removed from the sepia-toned and carnival-adjacent vibrancy Mexico is known for. Still, settling comfortably among the rainforests of Riviera Nayarit, Siari doesn’t just sit there. It reaches deep into the land’s lore, pulling the indigenous Huichol folkways to the forefront, not merely as a glamorised accessory, but also as a philosophical guide.
The Huichols’ reverence for nature plays an important role, lending itself to the design that draws inspiration from both the lush jungles skirting the property and the Pacific Ocean it overlooks; suites and villas spill onto golden sands on one side while boasting views of sprawling greens on the other. Beyond that, Há Yeka Wellness Center anchors its treatments in the tribe’s belief in the sacredness of water, offering clarity, balance, and renewal.
Amid its traditionality, Siari, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, never abandons the elegance of modernity. Its dining options are proof of this, boasting five distinct destinations that take diners on a globetrotting journey. While Estero’s international dishes and Naao’s fusion Asian spread bridge international influences with Nayarit’s distinguished culinary landscape, Zula by David Castro Hussong shines as the crown jewel with its sumptuous seafood affair. Lighter bites like pastries and confections can be enjoyed alongside some coffee at Maribel’s, while fresh juices await a burst of tropical refreshment at Lichi.
