Susurros del Corazón, Auberge Resorts Collection

What the classifiers highlight

Just up the coast from Puerto Vallarta in Punta Mita, terraced pools cascade toward the Pacific and the spa spreads across an unusually large footprint. MICHELIN lists it among Mexico's key hotels, judging the property by Auberge's usual mix of understated luxury and setting. Several restaurants cover dining, with coastline and nearby islands close enough for day trips.
