Seeking the ocean breeze over the game day roar? Luxury experiences to elevate the World Cup season
While the world holds its breath before the screen and stadiums roar with every goal, a discerning traveler seeks a radically different rhythm: the silence of a private pool, the scent of an ancestral spa ritual, and the precision of a Michelin-starred dinner.
During the World Cup season, Velas Resorts transforms into the definitive sanctuary for both soccer aficionados and those seeking a refined escape. Discover the perfect amenities so that every family member—from the youngest explorers to the most demanding adults—finds their own victory in paradise.
Private sanctuaries for the ultimate escape
For those who prefer to bypass the crowds in sports bars, true exclusivity begins within the suite. At Grand Velas Los Cabos, suites exceed 1,100 square feet and feature private terraces equipped with indoor jacuzzis; selected categories even offer personal plunge pools overlooking the Sea of Cortez. It is the ideal setting to request 24-hour suite service and enjoy a gourmet breakfast in total privacy, far from the roar of the game.
If you seek the exuberance of the Caribbean, Grand Velas Riviera Maya offers the sophistication of the oceanfront Grand Class ambiance. These suites are designed for intimate getaways, featuring indoor Jacuzzis and terraces that invite absolute contemplation. For a truly Mexican awakening at Mar del Cabo, the Mexican Wake Up Call delivers a basket of freshly baked sourdough conchas and traditional café de olla to your door, allowing you to start your day at your own pace, unhurried by any kickoff whistle.
World-class wellness and serenity
As the intensity on the field rises, you can immerse yourself in the serenity of SE Spas, recognized with the prestigious 5 Stars from Forbes Travel Guide. At the Grand Velas properties in Riviera Nayarit, Riviera Maya, and Los Cabos, indulge in the Water Ceremony—a seven-step hydrothermal journey that prepares the body and mind before any treatment.
The legacy of care extends to the youngest guests at Grand Velas Riviera Maya with the new Jungle Kids’ Spa. In this haven for children aged 5 to 12, little ones enjoy wellness experiences and themed treatments alongside Pancho, the resort’s mascot.
For a more intimate touch, Grand Velas Boutique Los Cabos offers the “Sea, Sun & Serenity” experience, combining reflexology with a superfood lunch by the infinity pool. If you seek a mystical connection, Velas Vallarta provides sound healing sessions facing Banderas Bay, where the only protagonist is the rhythmic sound of the ocean.
Adventure awaits at Summerland!
If you are traveling as a family and wish to enjoy an extended spa treatment or an afternoon of shopping, Summerland transforms summer vacations into an epic adventure. Across the collection’s family resorts—Grand Velas in Riviera Nayarit, Riviera Maya, and Los Cabos, alongside Velas Vallarta—children and teens enjoy seasonal experiences that complement the daily activities of the renovated Kids’ and Teens’ Clubs.
From the adrenaline of ziplines and climbing walls to vibrant foam parties, educational workshops, and movie nights under the stars, younger guests will find themselves immersed in hours of curated fun.
High-tech havens and social connectivity
The World Cup does not have to be the center of attention for teenagers. The Teens’ Clubs at Grand Velas properties are avant-garde retreats, with the recent transformation at Riviera Maya standing out as an exceptional feat. This resort has redefined youth entertainment with a sophisticated two-level space designed exclusively for guests over 12, where cutting-edge technology meets authentic culture.
In this two-story sanctuary, teens can explore an interactive lounge equipped with a Social Media Studio—featuring professional ring lights for content creators—PlayStation 5 stations, and a vibrant disco zone with a snack bar. For those with a competitive spirit, the upper level houses a professional-grade golf simulator, an extensive arcade, and a 22-seat VIP cinema offering a premier theater experience.
A curated agenda of style and culture
If your passion leans more toward aesthetic expression than sports, the boutiques at Grand Velas resorts are a mandatory stop. Here, you will discover a curated selection of linen wear, handcrafted jewelry, and accessories from exclusive Mexican designers, allowing you to take a piece of local luxury home.
For those seeking a deep connection with their surroundings, at Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit you can begin your day with oceanfront yoga or a guided bicycle tour through the exclusive Nuevo Vallarta area.
