Naviva is approximately 45 minutes from Licenciado Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport (PVR). Most guests fly in from the U.S. West Coast or Texas, making this a convenient destination for long weekends or short escapes.
Airport Pickup: Upon arrival at PVR, Naviva staff meet you with a placard and arrange a private SUV to the resort. Once you pass the Punta Mita gates, the journey to Naviva feels like entering a hidden jungle oasis.
Welcome Experience: There’s no traditional check-in. Staff greet you with a welcome drink, introduce you to your guide, and take you on a golf cart tour of the property, showing you pools, pathways, and dining areas. The atmosphere is informal yet luxurious, designed to make you feel like a valued guest rather than a tourist.
Pro Tip: If you want specific meals or activities waiting for you, communicate you preferences, about meals, activities, or surprises like private dinners before arrival. The more upfront you are about your preferences, the more tailored your experience will be.
