The Punta Mita Beach Festival 2017 showcased the extensive recreational experiences available to Kupuri Beach Club residents and guests through their Ocean Sport program. The program included activities suitable for everyone, from exciting family adventures with an underwater treasure hunting, to inflatable beach soccer, and of course, exceptional cuisine offers from renowned Punta Mita chefs like Esther Sánchez and Jesus Duron of Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita and The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort, who along with executive chef of Punta Mita Beach Clubs, Pato Persico served up a gourmet beach bbq experience.
