Secrets Bahia Mita Surf and Spa Resort

The Resort & Its Setting

Secrets Bahia Mita Surf and Spa Resort is an independent timeshare property on Bahía de Banderas, the wide bay that straddles Nayarit and Jalisco on Mexico's Pacific coast. The name hints at what the resort focuses on: surf and spa, or in plain terms, a base for paddling out at dawn and winding down with wellness treatments later in the day. As an RCI-affiliated resort, it gives owners a fixed home base plus the option to trade their week through RCI's exchange network for stays at other affiliated resorts worldwide.

Bahía de Banderas and What's Around

Nayarit has stayed quieter and less developed than its Jalisco neighbour across the bay, which is part of its appeal. The bay itself is known for dependable Pacific swells that draw surfers from well beyond Mexico, along with seasonal whale watching, sport fishing, hiking and access to local indigenous culture. Puerto Vallarta, around 40 km away, offers the bigger-city mix of galleries, restaurants and nightlife; Sayulita, a similar distance away, is the laid-back surf village everyone talks about; and Riviera Nayarit, closer still, has the polished beach clubs and dining. San Blas, further north, brings colonial history and jungle scenery within reach for a day trip.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Secrets Bahia Mita Surf and Spa Resort and are thinking of selling it, or renting it out for a season, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, you set the asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to post the ad, and that's it.

Because this is an independent resort rather than part of a managed chain, resale typically goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a centralised corporate transfer desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth asking the resort directly for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee, since these figures aren't published and they affect what a buyer is really taking on. Confirm in writing what the buyer receives — the deeded or right-to-use week itself, and whether RCI exchange privileges carry over automatically or need to be re-registered in the new owner's name.

What Renters and Buyers Look For

Renters searching for a week at Secrets Bahia Mita Surf and Spa Resort are usually weighing travel dates in the dry season (November–April), when the weather and surf conditions are at their best, against the quieter, cheaper wet-season months. Buyers tend to ask the same practical questions: what week or season is attached to the ownership, whether it's fixed or floating, what the annual maintenance fee covers, and whether RCI exchange is included. Being upfront about all of this in your listing saves time for everyone.

Practical Notes for Travel

The nearest major airport is Puerto Vallarta International (PVR), roughly 2–3 hours from the resort depending on traffic and the exact location within Bahía de Banderas. Dry season (November to April) brings the most reliable weather and wave conditions, while the wet season (May to October) brings brief afternoon rain but fewer crowds and generally lower rates. A little Spanish goes a long way once you're outside the main resort areas.
