Discover a place like no other in Nayarit!
Dubbed by the Spanish as San Francisco de Azapán, San Pancho, Nayarit is considered to be the “cultural capital” of the riviera. Located in the Bahía de Banderas municipality, just 5km from Sayulita, San Pancho is a destination that brings together natural tranquility and cultural riches.
Here, you will find beautiful acrylic paintings portraying colorful landscapes of the area, as well as a wide variety of initiatives that promote Mexican culture.
At some of San Pancho’s beautiful beaches, you will be able to take part in surfing, paddleboarding, snorkel and diving activities, while inland, you can explore the charming town and its surroundings. You can also visit the Circo de los Niños (Children’s Circus), where circus and performance come to life in unique productions, or enjoy a show at La Bodega theater, a multidisciplinary arts venue that showcases local creativity.
With a wide range of culinary offerings, great accommodation, and a vibrant nightlife, San Pancho offers an exciting and colorful experience for visitors wanting an alternative destination in Nayarit. Dotted throughout its colorful streets, you’ll find cultural centers, galleries, restaurants, bakeries, cafés, sports clubs, and unique events venues. One of these venues is the Tierra Tropical Polo Club, one of San Pancho’s landmarks. Here, polo enthusiasts can join in private lessons or take part in national and international tourneys. And, if you don’t play polo, Tierra Tropical also offers great amenities, such as a restaurant, an art gallery, a concert hall, and event organization services.
Two of Hilton’s luxury Riviera Maya resorts are adding new all-inclusive experiences, bringing greater flexibility and personalized stays to the Mexican Caribbean.

Hyatt is entering the final months of 2026 with a growing collection of luxury properties across some of Mexico’s most sought-after destinations. From the Pacific coast of Baja California Sur to the Caribbean shoreline of the Riviera Maya and the cultural heart of Mexico City, the company is expanding its portfolio with distinctive properties designed around their individual settings and guest experiences. The Park Hyatt brand is at the center of this growth. Following the opening of Park Hyatt Cabo del Sol in December 2025, Park Hyatt Riviera Maya is expected to open by the end of 2026 as the brand’s first all-inclusive property worldwide. Park Hyatt Mexico City Polanco, a 155-room hotel overlooking Chapultepec Park, is expected to welcome guests in spring 2027. Together, the three properties offer very different ways to experience Mexico, from coastal escapes to an urban cultural stay. Hyatt’s expansion also includes Alila Mayakoba, which opened earlier this year within the Mayakoba complex. Set across 60 acres of beach, lagoon, and jungle, the resort combines wellness, locally inspired design, and a strong connection to the Yucatán Peninsula. Meanwhile, three new Grand Hyatt resorts—Grand Hyatt Grand Cayman, Grand Hyatt Cancun, and Grand Hyatt Los Cabos—are scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2026, with Cancún and Los Cabos introducing all-inclusive experiences to the Grand Hyatt portfolio. For planners, this growing portfolio creates even more possibilities for designing programs around different sides of Mexico. Whether a group is looking for a sophisticated urban experience, a secluded Caribbean setting, or the landscapes and culture of Baja, Destination Mexico can help bring these new properties together with the authentic experiences, local connections, and seamless logistics that make a program truly memorable
