Tucked along the sun-drenched coastline of the Mexican Pacific, just minutes from Puerto Vallarta’s creative pulse and cultural allure, a new beacon of luxury has emerged along the Mexican Pacific. Introducing UNICO 20°105° Hotel Riviera Nayarit, the latest jewel from AIC Hotel Group’s celebrated UNICO Hotel Collection. This adults-only retreat redefines what it means to escape—with an effortless blend of serenity, elevated service, and soulful connection to place.

Following the award-winning legacy of its sister property, UNICO 20°87° Hotel Riviera Maya, this west coast expansion brings with it the same ethos of authenticity, artistry, and personalized experience. Interiors are thoughtfully curated, featuring warm textures and handcrafted details, with original works by renowned Mexican artists, including Fidencio Benítez, Ismael Vargas, Sergio Bustamante, as well as Wixárika artisans. The result is a sanctuary that feels rooted in the land while opening up to the infinite horizon.

Perched along a pristine stretch of coastline and just 20 minutes from the airport, nearly every room, suite, and the stunning Oceanfront Villa 20°105° offers sweeping sea views. The resort’s four signature restaurants and eclectic bars—including the breathtaking ALTO Rooftop Bar—invite guests to savor bold flavors, inventive cocktails, and the coastal breeze. Guest Chef Nicolás Cano brings deep culinary heritage to Agua Madre, where regional Mexican cuisine is prepared with organic, locally sourced ingredients and a reverence for the land and sea.

"At UNICO 20°105° our vision was to create a sanctuary that seamlessly blends the region's rich cultural heritage with the intimacy of a boutique luxury experience," said Ler Medina, General Manager of UNICO 20°105° Hotel Riviera Nayarit. "Every detail, from the personalized service to the locally inspired cuisine and design, was thoughtfully curated to offer our guests an elevated, all-inclusive experience that feels both effortless and deeply rooted in the soul of Riviera Nayarit."

Wellness takes center stage at the UNICO 20°105° holistic spa, an expansive sanctuary inspired by the healing botanicals of the surrounding region. From custom massages and skincare rituals to a tranquil hydrotherapy circuit, saunas, and aromatherapy, the experience is fully immersive. Guests can also enjoy a state-of-the-art fitness center, guided wellness programming, and a peaceful recovery lounge.
