The Pinnacle of All-Inclusive Luxury

The Grand Velas All Suites and Spa Resort
Riviera Maya, Mexico|
By Evan Tokarz

Discover a vacation paradise in the Riviera Maya with its outstanding beaches and world-class accommodations at the Grand Velas, all-inclusive resort. Located just 35 minutes from Cancun, the Grand Velas resort on the coast of the Caribbean Sea combines the blue-watered beauty of island waters with the luxury accommodations of a five- star hotel. Promising a one-of-a-kind luxury resort experience, Grand Velas delivers. Whether honeymooners seeking a slice of paradise, a businessperson on the lookout for a touch of fun, or a family looking to relax and rewind, Grand Velas can accommodate it all.

Families can come together as they feel sand between their toes. Multi-generations can vacation together and each find resort activities to fill their days. Located on the shorelines of the Riviera Maya, the resort offers activities for teens and young children with a supervised Kids Club program that allows kids to play and have fun, while allowing parents to have alone time to soak in the rays and ambience of the resort. Between swimming with dolphins, snorkeling and a visit to the jungle, this trip is one no family member will soon forget. Grand Velas calls the family area of the resort the Ambassador region, and the suites in the area offer an interior Jacuzzi and 42'' plasma TV, as well as a scenic ocean view terrace.

Honeymooners and couples can enjoy the turquoise waters and privacy of the Grand Class suites in an all-adult area. In addition to a beautiful waterfront view and private pool area with a swim-up bar, the rooms include a king-sized bed and a roomy 1,377 square feet of space. The more adventurous couples might want to head out and explore the jungles less than an hour away from Grand Velas, or head out to Cozumel for some fun and revelry. History buffs may delight in a visit to the ancient ruins of Mexico, which are also less than hour away. Beneath the towering palm trees and the cool breeze of the Caribbean, couples can scuba dive and enjoy Grand Velas’ gourmet dining. Forget the typical notion of buffet at an all-inclusive, at Grand Velas guests can make reservations for dinner at select restaurants and choose from gourmet dining options including traditional Mexican fare at Frida, French cuisine at Piaf, Italian at Luca or the flavors of Asian cuisine at Sin Lin. For couples that want to dine in, the resort offers 24 hour in-suite dining. All suites include a mini-bar stocked daily with snacks, beer, soft drinks, and bottled water at no additional cost.

For those seeking peace and tranquility, spend a day at the resort’s world-class spa. Begin the spa day with an amazing seven step water journey including the sauna, color therapy steam room, clay room, ice room, whirlpool and polar room. The indoor experience pool at the spa offers six water stations including a water bubble bed and cascading falls. Spa treatments include the Yaxche Mayan Experience Massage, Xocol-Ha Wrap & Coffee Scrub and the signature Blue Agave Nectar Experience.

The resort also offers the corporate client the perfect destination for their next convention or employee benefit perk. Take advantage of the Grand Velas’ convention center, which has nearly 100,000 sq. ft. of space to host your companies trade show, meetings or conference. The Grand Velas’ event planners can make the event a success with catering services and consulting.

Create memories of a lifetime with a vacation at Grand Velas.
