Every autumn, Mexico comes alive with color, scent, and sound as Dia de los Muertos fills streets, homes, and hearts with joy. Families create altars, light candles, and share food in honor of loved ones who have passed.
In Punta Mita, this same season takes on an extra layer of flavor and sophistication.
The region’s most anticipated culinary event, Flavours of Punta Mita, happens alongside Dia de los Muertos, turning the first days of November into a vibrant mix of culture, cuisine, and celebration.
It is where fine dining meets tradition and where guests staying in Tripwix villas enjoy front row access to both, with private chefs, curated menus, and experiences that connect taste with emotion.
Late October and early November are among the most magical times to visit Mexico’s Pacific coast. Marigolds fill the streets, candles flicker in local squares, and chefs across Punta Mita prepare to celebrate Mexico’s culinary heritage.
While Dia de los Muertos honors the past, Flavours of Punta Mita celebrates the present through the creativity and hospitality that define modern Mexican cuisine.
The atmosphere is warm and joyful. Locals and visitors gather to toast life with food, wine, and mezcal. Traditional music plays beside elegant coastal settings. Every detail, from handcrafted decorations to gourmet menus, reflects Mexico’s deep respect for memory and celebration.
For guests staying with Tripwix, it is the perfect season to blend authentic cultural discovery with the comfort of a private, fully serviced villa.
Flavours of Punta Mita is one of Riviera Nayarit’s most anticipated culinary events. Hosted each year in late October or early November, it brings together Mexico’s top chefs, mixologists, and restaurants for a weekend of exceptional dining and entertainment.

Guests staying in Punta Mita during this period can feel the excitement everywhere. Restaurants decorate with marigolds, menus feature seasonal ingredients, and every dish tells a story of creativity and connection.
Tripwix guests can easily access this event with the help of the local concierge team, who arrange tickets, transportation, and even private experiences that reflect the festival’s spirit within the comfort of the villa.
