Named for the Uto-Aztecan word Siari, meaning green, the property reflects the layers of ancient jungle that edge Mexico’s Emerald Coast, weaving a rare tapestry of nature and culture. Siari is a tribute to its surroundings, a place that feels discovered rather than designed. Here, time slows to the rhythm of the tides, and every detail honors the raw beauty and spiritual heritage of Riviera Nayarit.
Each accommodation tells its unique story: from ocean-view suites starting at 979 square feet to expansive beachfront villas reaching up to 2,873 square feet, all reflecting the tranquility and warmth that define the Ritz-Carlton Reserve experience. Every stay is enhanced by the luxury of personalized butler service.
Siari features 34 private residences, including select four- and five-bedroom retreats perfect for extended stays and group getaways. These residences stretch along 4.3 miles of pristine coastline, boasting the region’s largest swimmable beach. Here, mornings begin beside private infinity pools, and evenings are illuminated by the gentle glow of the Pacific horizon.

At signature restaurant Zula, refined Nayarit cuisine meets coastal simplicity; Estero celebrates the joy of gathering, blending local flavors with global influences; and Naao reimagines Asian flavors through a local lens. Masa Madre celebrates the primal art of wood-fired cooking, while Maribel’s, created in collaboration with pastry chef Maribel Aldaco, transforms the traditional patisserie into a luminous space of sweet and savory delight.
Drawing from the Wixárika language native to Nayarit, Há Yeka, meaning “water” and “well-being,” is Siari’s 28,000-square-foot wellness center devoted to balance and restoration. More than a physical element, water serves as a spiritual current that brings clarity to body, mind, and spirit. Within lush gardens, ancient Huichol healing rituals merge with contemporary therapies. Hydrotherapy circuits, volcanic stone treatments and indigenous botanicals converge to honor the belief that nature itself holds the power to transform. Outdoor treatment rooms heighten the senses, while aromas, salts and purification elements from the surrounding landscape deepen connection to nature
