Last week key players in Puerto Vallarta’s tourism industry convened in the city to host the 26th annual Gala Vallarta. In attendance were the tourist boards and CVBs from Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit along with hotel owners, desination management companies, meetings planners and tour operators, all there to discuss the growing future of Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit, a future that is brimming with new developments.
Next year Riviera Nayarit is expecting two new luxury hotels: the W Punta de Mita and the One&Only Mandarina, according to Marc Murphy, the managing director of the Riviera Nayarit CVB. The W Punta de Mita is set to open in 2016 in the Los Veneros development of Punta de Mita. The oceanfront property will have 120 guest villas as well as a 4,000-square-foot spa, gym, bar lounge, a W Living Room and swimming pool and will have a contemporary design.
One&Only will make its debut in Riviera Nayarit with the One&Only Mandarina in 2017. The property will have 145 villas as well as separate private residential estates. A beach club and pool will have private cabanas and a poolside cafe and lounge. There will also be a family pool, a One&Only Spa and fitness center.
In 2018 Cirque du Soleil and Grupo Vidanta will partner to construct and operate a 300-acre, immersive theme park experience in Nuevo Vallarta. The experience will include a waterpark, a nature park and an outdoor evening show for as many as 5,000 spectators. Each experience within the entertainment park will be designed and performed by Cirque du Soleil artists.
