Meet the first host of Grand Velas

If you have previously visited Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit or Grand Velas Los Cabos, you can recall the warmth and excellent service each staff member extended when you arrived.

Such is the pledge to serve guests in the most extraordinary way that in the lobby of both resorts sit two works of art, which stand out among all the decoration: The Magician’s Chair and its companion, the Magician’s Lectern.

The arrangement of the duo of sculptures was deliberately selected. One welcomes guests upon arrival at the lobby, similar to Mexico’s deep-rooted customs, which extend visitors a seat after their long voyage. The magician invites guests to rest and prepare for the magical spectacle they will experience during their visit.

Alejandro Colunga, a Tapatio sculptor and painter who has showcased his work in cities such as New York, Washington, Guadalajara, and Puerto Vallarta, is the talent behind both works of art. Eduardo Vela, founder of Velas Resorts, personally requested these two sculptures, seeking a piece of art that would welcome its visitors.

Colunga intended to illustrate the warmth a host bestows upon his guests, as he firmly believes that true magicians formulate art through exceptional service.

Hence, the lectern reveals the inscription “The magic begins here,” which refers to every Velas Resorts staff member’s warmth, generosity, and passion for service.

So, on your next visit to Grand Velas Los Cabos or Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit, remember to sit in the magician’s chair, the first to greet you on your extraordinary vacation.
