Nayarit Best 2025 Winners, Riviera Nayarit. Meet the Winners of Lo Mejor de Nayarit 2025!
The ceremony, held at Marival Emotions Resort & Suites Riviera Nayarit by Mercure, brought together chefs, traditional cooks, tour operators, artisans, and representatives from different levels of government, all recognizing the value of sustainable tourism and the preservation of cultural heritage.
The third edition of Lo Mejor de Nayarit 2025 (The best of Nayarit) has been a true tribute to the hard work of the state’s entire tourism community. With more than 96,600 votes and the participation of both travelers and locals, the event showcased the pride inspired by Nayarit’s destinations, traditions, gastronomy, and hospitality.
A very symbolic detail was the design of the awards: pieces crafted by Wixárika artisans using plastic recovered from the ocean during beach cleanups—a powerful reminder of the importance of protecting the environment.
Without a doubt, Lo Mejor de Nayarit 2025 not only honored the winners across its 30 categories, but also highlighted the cultural, natural, and human wealth of this state, consolidating it as one of Mexico’s most attractive destinations.
