UNICO 20°105° Hotel Riviera Nayarit, the latest from AIC Hotel Group’s UNICO Hotel Collection, has officially opened its doors, revealing a sanctuary designed exclusively for adults, located just 20 minutes from PVR and close to all the dynamic energy of Puerto Vallarta.
Described as “sophisticated, discreet, and light-filled,” the beachfront hotel features panoramic ocean views from nearly all guestrooms, suites, and the signature Oceanfront Villa 20°105°.
The hotel is home to four signature restaurants and four distinct bars and lounges — including ALTO Rooftop Bar, boasting among the most spectacular ocean views in the region.
UNICO 20°105° promises a focus on bespoke personal attention, including private butler and Local Host services to accommodate every request.
“At UNICO 20°105° our vision was to create a sanctuary that seamlessly blends the region’s rich cultural heritage with the intimacy of a boutique luxury experience,” said General Manager Ler Medina.
“Every detail, from the personalized service to the locally inspired cuisine and design, was thoughtfully curated to offer our guests an elevated, all-inclusive experience that feels both effortless and deeply rooted in the soul of Riviera Nayarit.”

The property is also home to a holistic spa — informed by the healing botanicals and natural tranquility of the locale — offering an extensive menu of custom massage, facial, body and skincare treatments, alongside a hydrotherapy circuit, personalized aromatherapy, saunas, steam rooms, fitness centre, serene recovery lounge, and extensive calendar of wellness programming.
Two spacious pools — with a swim-up bar and central lounge area — feature full poolside service and private cabanas.
Following the nearly nine-year success of award-winning sister property, UNICO 20°87° Hotel Riviera Maya, this west coast expansion evolves the brand’s commitment to celebrating regional art and culture.
Interiors are curated in warm, natural textures, with locally handcrafted materials and original works from celebrated Mexican artists.
Cuisine plays a starring role in the UNICO experience, with menus crafted from locally sourced ingredients. Acclaimed Guest Chef Nicolás Cano takes the helm at Agua Madre, the hotel’s signature Mexican restaurant serving regional fare. Chef Nicolás draws inspiration from his own family’s culinary traditions, as well as his long-standing dedication to environmental conservation and organic, nutrient-rich dishes.
UNICO 20°105° is within easy proximity of the vibrant Riviera Nayarit and Vallarta regions—home to historic towns, lively local markets, and breathtaking coastal beauty, all of which guests can enjoy through a curated calendar of activities including cooking and mixology classes, hiking, snorkelling, horseback riding, yachting, visits to art galleries, and beachfront wine tastings.
UNICO 20°105° stakes a claim as an ideal destination for weddings and private celebrations, with flexible event spaces featuring two ballrooms and a grand foyer. The hotel’s staff includes dedicated event and wedding planning teams.
