A new Four Seasons in Mexico is about to come online along a private peninsula on the Pacific just south of Manzanillo. The all new Four Seasons Resort Tamarindo, México is now accepting reservations ahead of its anticipated opening in late 2022.
This new resort is a tribute to Mexico with 157 contemporary Mexican accommodations – many with private pools – plus four restaurants and bars, a superb golf course, a transformative spa and wellness experience, and much more.
Surrounded by more than 3,000 acres of jungle, the Resort offers a sense of escape from all that is familiar and the stresses of urban living. In fact, a defining element of the Resort is that just 2% of the surrounding nature reserve can be develop.
“We are dedicate to the concept of ‘rewilding,’ enabling the Earth’s natural rhythms to flourish and nature to recover its balance,” said GM Felix Murillo. “Everything we are doing is guide by this ethos, and it is our hope that our guests will form a deep connection both to the land and the coastline, and that in doing so they can recover their own balance and leave inspired and energize.”

An integral part of the character of the Resort is puro talento Mexicano, celebrating Mexico’s talent across all design disciplines. Then there is the Discovery Centre, a starting point to engaging in the natural cycles of the region from ocean to jungle across the Reserve. The Resort’s onsite team of naturalists introduce guests to the area’s biodiversity, including its more than 70 endemic species of wildlife and hundreds of birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles to be seen throughout the Reserve’s more than 3,000 acres.
While onsite chef’s gardens have become standard at many hotels, the Resort team saw the broader possibilities offered by the region’s micro climate, and thus Rancho Ortega, a 35 acre working farm, was born, cultivating indigenous and newly introduced plants for the Resort’s restaurants with zero-mile, root-to-dish produce. It also serves as a study area for rare species, sustainable farming, and creative culinary exploration. That includes the progress of more than 8,500 agave azul plants cultivate at the Resort with under Mexico’s Tequila Regulatory Council.

The Resort’s four food and drink outlets will offer settings for everything from starlit dinners to barefoot lunches and opportunities to raise a glass with old and new friends. Each restaurant is an individual concept inspired by its surroundings, including Coyul, that uses local harvests to take modern Mexican cuisine in new directions. At Sal, just steps from the Pacific Ocean, fresh seafood is present with elevate culinary artistry, along with artisanal cocktails best enjoys during the golden hour sunsets. There’s also Nacho, a casual poolside taqueria featuring homestyle Mexican favorites.
