Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit
About the Resort
Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit sits on Banderas Bay in Nuevo Vallarta, a short drive from Puerto Vallarta International — one of the shortest airport transfers of any luxury resort we book in Mexico. All 267 suites have ocean views, and unusually for the Pacific coast the beach here is genuinely swimmable, since the bay is protected. The atmosphere is refined rather than lively, with gourmet dining and a service standard that has kept it in the Five Diamond conversation for years.
Wedding Planning Notes
Worth considering when a guest list is weighted to the US west coast — Puerto Vallarta is a much easier flight from California and the Pacific Northwest than Cancún, and the transfer is minutes rather than an hour.
