Are you ready to escape into pure luxury and relaxation? Look no further than Casa Velas, an adults-only boutique resort located in the heart of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Casa Velas differs from many of the all-inclusive resorts in this popular destination as it truly focuses on wellness and relaxation, rather than pool parties and nightlife. With an onsite spa, in-room hot tubs, a relaxing pool, and nearby beach club with optional sound bath experiences, there’s no shortage of ways to unwind at this luxury resort.

Stepping foot onto the resort itself feels like escaping into a lush, tropical paradise. Plenty of greenery and lucious gardens allow guests to reconnect with nature as they wander throughout the property. In the rooms, guests can retreat to a private hot tub on their balconies for even more relaxation with views of the surrounding golf course and gardens.

The pool area is one of the most tranquil on the property–a rarity for Puerto Vallarta, where resort pools are often the epicenter for rowdier vacation gatherings. But here, the mood is decidedly lowkey, thanks in part to the resort being adults-only. The pool offers cabanas, plenty of poolside lounge chairs, a pool bar menu, and a swim-up bar to keep the refreshments flowing. It’s easy to spend an entire day here under the Puerto Vallarta sun with a drink in hand.

Peel yourself away from the pool, though, and be sure to book a treatment at the onsite spa. Before your treatment, your massage therapist will set the tone for an hour of self-care and relaxation by guiding you through a short meditation and intention-setting, and inviting you to leave everything else outside. After all, any real-world stresses will be waiting after your treatment, but this hour is just for you.

Guests can take their relaxation to an even deeper level by booking a private sound bath and meditation session at the resort’s nearby beach club. While Casa Velas is tucked away in the Marina area of the beach town, its beach club sits right on the sand, offering the perfect setting to enjoy a soothing sound bath with the rhythmic ocean waves as a backdrop. Crystal bowls are set up on the sand and a trained practitioner guides guests through a healing sound bath to clear chakras and reset energies. Held on a picturesque beach, this experience is guaranteed to melt stress and tension away on your vacation.

Overall, if you’re looking for a luxurious and unforgettable vacation experience, Casa Velas is the perfect choice. From its stunning surroundings to its one-of-a-kind wellness experiences, this resort offers a true chance to rest, recharge and rejuvenate in paradise.
