Restaurants
Bahia
Named for the Spanish word for "bay," Bahía enjoys a prime spot amongst giant manzanilla trees on the Resort’s Las Cuevas beach. This contemporary beachfront grill offers a relaxed atmosphere with a sleek, contemporary design. This restaurant has been positioned to take advantage of the cool ocean breezes and some of the best views of Punta Mita sunsets. The menu features a range of grilled seafood and meats cooked on the expansive mesquite grill, visible from every table. Three times a week, the chef gathers guests on the beach to participate in our famous "catch of the day" programme, where guests can work with the chef to choose from a variety of fresh seafood right off a local fishing boat. The chef will prepare selections as requested. Bahía features a main dining room, a separate al fresco seating area perfect for large parties, and a bar area. Bahía's bar is the perfect place to enjoy one of our unique martinis while gazing at the Pacific. Cooking classes Every Thursday, Bahía hosts cooking classes with one of our chefs. Participants learn about each stage of the preparation of a fresh seafood lunch featuring their choice of fish from the catch of the day. The first half of the four-hour class is devoted to cooking instruction, while the second half is spent savouring the results. For more information or to book a class, contact Bahía at 52 (329) 291-6000, extension 3208. Specialties Bahía’s innovative menu of mesquite grilled fresh seafood and meat also features a variety of seasonal vegetables presented with accompanying signature sauces, salts and side items to complement the grilled items.

Participants may also choose the method of preparation, including Aramara’s crudo option, thinly sliced seafood served sashimi-style. Another signature dish, Hot Rock, features thinly sliced seasoned steak cooked tableside over a hot rock. A private dining enclave features the popular Chef’s Table on Friday evenings.
