Family travel, across generations
Some of the best family stories begin when everyone gets together.
A multigenerational trip brings grandparents, parents, children, and grandchildren under one roof, creating an opportunity to reconnect, celebrate milestones, and simply enjoy being together. But traveling as a family does not mean everyone has to follow the same schedule. The best trips leave room for shared experiences as well as time to do your own thing.
That balance is at the heart of the new multigenerational offerings at Velas Resorts. Across Riviera Maya, Riviera Nayarit, and Puerto Vallarta, families can enjoy personalized planning, experiences for every age, and thoughtful touches designed to make bringing everyone together easier.
One vacation, many ways to enjoy it
A family trip can involve a lot of moving parts: different room preferences, restaurant reservations, activities, nap schedules, and requests for travelers of all ages.
At Grand Velas Riviera Maya, families booking four or more suites can rely on a dedicated pre-arrival concierge to help coordinate the details before they even arrive. Pool & Beach Concierge, Spa Concierge, and Baby Concierge services add another layer of ease, helping everyone—from toddlers to grandparents—settle into vacation mode.
There is plenty to choose from once you’re there, too. Families can explore the destination on a bike tour, take part in a honey tasting or guacamole class, or discover Mexican craftsmanship through hands-on workshops. Meanwhile, the Kids’ Club and Teens’ Club offer their own mix of creative activities, games, cinema, arcade fun, and more.
Everyone gets to follow their interests—and then come back together when it matters.
Make it a family occasion
At Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit, bringing the family together can become an occasion in itself.
Families booking a block of eight suites receive support from a dedicated Multigenerational Experience Coordinator, who helps bring the group’s plans together. Parents or grandparents leading the trip can also receive an upgrade to an Imperial or Governor Suite, subject to availability.
One of the highlights is the Under the Stars Family Gala, a private evening set on the beach or in the resort’s gardens. A personalized menu, premium open bar, floral arrangements, music, and attentive service create an intimate setting for everyone to gather around the same table.
Then comes the Legacy Photo Session: a professional portrait experience designed to capture three generations together, along with the candid moments in between.
Because years from now, it may be the photograph—not the itinerary—that everyone remembers.
Everyone gets their moment
One of the pleasures of traveling across generations is realizing that togetherness does not have to look the same for everyone.
In Riviera Nayarit, grandparents and parents can take time for themselves with The Encounter of Two, an 80-minute couples massage designed around relaxation and connection. Young adults can join a private mixology class, while younger guests receive their own welcome kits.
At Velas Vallarta, families can gather for a beachfront tepee dinner, try a pickleball clinic, take a dance class, or share a table during the resort’s Sunday Mexican Fiesta.
There are thoughtful moments for the youngest travelers, too. During an art class, children can create a tote bag to take home—perhaps as a gift for a grandparent on Grandparents Day.
With a professional family photo session and round-trip airport transportation also included, some of the practical details are taken care of, leaving more time for what brought everyone together in the first place.
Because time together is the real luxury
The beauty of a multigenerational vacation is not that everyone does everything together. It is having the freedom to choose when to explore on your own and when to come together.
A morning at the beach with the grandchildren. A long dinner with three generations around the table. An afternoon at the spa while the younger ones discover something new. A family photograph that finds its way into someone’s home and stays there for years.
These are the moments that give a vacation meaning.
With new multigenerational offerings across Riviera Maya, Riviera Nayarit, and Puerto Vallarta, Velas Resorts is making it easier for families to create them—bringing together personalized service, experiences for every age, and the freedom to enjoy a vacation at your own pace.
Because the greatest luxury may simply be having everyone you love in the same place, with nowhere else you need to be.
