Located on 2500 acres of tropical paradise, miles of elevated wooden pathways through beautiful jungle trees and plants connect you with the endless amenities of this immense resort complex. Don't feel like walking? A resort-wide electric shuttle can get you there. Here's why people and families travel from all over the world to spend their vacation here:
BEACHES: The Vidanta resort in Nuevo Vallarta is nestled along Banderas Bay, one of the largest bays in Mexico. A stunning view of both the Pacific Ocean and the Sierra Madre mountains with the opportunity to explore both make this area of Mexico one of the most enchanting places to stay. Walk, swim, play volleyball, or just lounge under a palapa at the beach that extends nearly a mile along the entire reach of the property. Breathtaking sunsets!
POOLS: This Vidanta resort boasts multiple beautifully designed pool areas throughout the property, including an aquapark with a waterslide, wave pool, and lazy river. Depending on your mood and the ages of your guests, the day may include time at the Grand Mayan pool with a more active crowd, joining Luxxe members on the sandy point along the beachside Puenta pool, or finding quiet at the tucked-away Luxxe adult pool. Just for the kids, a fully-staffed Kids Club with kiddie splash area and activities building gives the little ones in your group their own kind of fun (babysitting service is also available here). And for everyone, the Sky Lounge infinity pool on the 11th floor of the Luxxe Tower 5 with a stunning view of the entire Puerto Vallarta region is a don't-miss!
ACTIVITIES: A full menu of activities scattered throughout the resort means there is something for everyone at all times during the day. Water aerobics, morning stretching, botanical tour, bingo, poker, horseshoes, sand and pool volleyball, sand soccer, Spanish lessons, dancing and cooking classes, arts and crafts … and more … are all free, with the option for paddle boarding, parasailing, and water sports rentals.
FINE AND CASUAL DINING: From gourmet restaurants headed by professional chefs serving Mexican, French, Italian, and Asian cuisine to the multiple poolside and other eateries around the resort, going off-site can be hardly a consideration with almost 40 restaurants and lounges to explore. Vidanta works hard to assure fresh ingredients and a delectable menu no matter the location, so a simple taco for lunch at Samba can be just as delicious as dinner on the rooftop Quinto restaurant. Should you chose to venture out, nearby restaurants offer a wide choice of menus varying from Argentinian beef to local seafood.
GOLF: The Nayar Course and the Norman Signature Course, plus the new 10-hole, par 3 The Lakes Course, make it a premier opportunity for the avid or casual golfer. The golf environment includes a beautiful new restaurant and the longest golf cart suspension bridge in the world. Up to 16 rounds of golf on the Nayar course are included in your stay.
SPA: Spatium, the Luxxe spa, is simply exquisite. The environment is over-the-top beautiful from before you walk in the door. The wooden walkway through the jungle foliage opens up to a cul-de-sac with an architecturally inviting building in its center. It's majestic door leads into a circular lobby where an immense glass ceiling sculpture hangs strikingly over the reception desk. The staff is crisply groomed and professional, the attendants, aestheticians, and therapists are welcoming and skilled. Services include an extensive menu of massage, body wraps, and salon options. In addition to booking spa services is the option to use the facility daily for self-treatment. Spatium hosts an open-air spa with a hot pool, cold pool, steam sauna, dry sauna, and lounge chairs for both the men-only/women-only areas as well as a large hot pool and relaxation area for both.
ENTERTAINMENT: With the days an immersion into tropical paradise, the nights offer a variety of entertainment options. Santuario, in the heart of the resort, is an impressive 75,000-square-foot, indoor-outdoor entertainment pavilion that features a nightly lineup of acts for the whole family, including acrobatics, dance performances, musical acts, sand artists, and more. More nightly entertainment options include The Lake Show - lights, fountains, music, special effects - held nightly 30 minutes after sunset, weekly theme nights featuring dancing, singing, and food from the Mexican culture, family movie night, and live music from varying musicians and styles at restaurants and lounges throughout the resort.
MARKET: A beautiful flagship building with an expansive outdoor patio overlooking the lake! The first floor hosts an exquisite display of French chocolates, candies, pastries, and other one-of-a-kind desserts! And that's just one section of this unique shopping venue. Three floors of fresh foods, clothing, Mexican wares, a French restaurant with an ocean view, and other smaller eateries make the market a fun place to visit often during your stay.
GYM: The gym is superbly designed, excellent staff, and state-of-the-art equipment. Within the gym complex are two cardio rooms with a variety of cardio options, a weight room with a wide selection of machines and free weights, a spinning room, and a spacious yoga/exercise class/stretching room.
YOUR VILLA: Lavish Italian marble, floor to ceiling windows, king beds, jacuzzi tubs, gourmet kitchens and lavishly inviting living rooms, two and a half bathrooms, spacious fully furnished balconies with a private plunge pool, is offered by this nearly 2500 sq. ft. piece of personal heaven.

Our experience has been that views of the golf course, river, jungle, mountains, and downtown are all spectacular.
