The vibrant energy of Puerto Vallarta is alive at this all-inclusive luxury resort, where turquoise waters, spectacular private beaches, brilliant sunsets, and the rhythms of the night will reawaken your senses. Step into suites exquisitely furnished in teak woods imported from Bali, and decorated in an elegant tropical-meets-contemporary blend. Take in lush Pacific breezes and incomparable ocean views on your private terrace. Grand Velas lets you indulge in countless ways—rejuvenating treatments at the world-class spa, practicing your swing on championship golf courses, or exploring the deep sea with fishing, scuba diving or sailing. Whatever your vacation preference, expect extraordinary service, sumptuous world cuisine, and an idyllic retreat for romance, relaxation and adventure. Banderas Bay is home to a large, permanent colony of Pacific bottlenose dolphins, as well as seasonal populations of pilot and gray whales, which bear their young in its protected waters. Giant manta rays also inhabit the bay, and sea turtles hatch along several area beaches in summer months. Wildlife-viewing excursions can be arranged through the resort.
