Fall in Mexico brings lush greenery after summer rains, tomatillo and red chile season, rituals that celebrate the Mayan autumnal equinox, and national holidays like El Día de los Muertos. From the Caribbean to the Pacific, Auberge Resorts Collection’s recent expansion throughout Mexican offers travelers varying experiences in the destination—including a brand-new resort—this autumn.
For Something and Somewhere New
Susurros del Corazón, Auberge Resorts Collection // Punta de Mita (opening Nov. 3, 2022)
Where warm breezes ruffle hammocks, surfers play on the horizon and perfect sunsets end each extraordinary day, Susurros Del Corazón sits on a bluff fringed by tropical jungles that tumble down to an intimate white sand beach that will be activated all day and night and serve as the epicenter of its vibrant culture. Featuring 59 colorful rooms and suites—each with open floor plans, expansive ocean views and large, private terraces, these “bungalows by the beach” reflect the bohemian culture of this under-the-radar beachside town. Just 40 minutes from Puerto Vallarta International Airport, the resort will offer a spa with 11 treatment rooms, various restaurants activated day to night and one-of-a-kind experiences.
