Steal away to any of these stunning secret locations to find vacation bliss.
Sometimes we all need a little peace and quiet... and a cold beverage, warm sand, the shade of a palm tree, and a place that feels a little more private. A spot that’s perfect for snuggling with that special someone, or reading an addicting book, or even a lackadaisical nap! Are we asking too much? Nope. We don’t think so. That’s why we’ve created this list of hidden gems where you can do just that—slip away from the company of people and be in your own personal oasis.
1. Grand Luxxe Beach Coves, Vidanta Riviera Maya
Ahh yes, breathtaking right? The beach of Riviera Maya is already a magical place with its brilliant turquoise waters and palapa-tipped docks, but this stretch is half-hidden in the jungle, just beyond the Grand Luxxe pool, and half on the beach. Grab one of these lounge chairs or hammocks and take in the beauty of your surroundings and the peacefulness of the moment.
2. The Island in the Mayan Sanctuary Pool, Riviera Maya
Perhaps the best of Vidanta Resorts’ most breathtaking pools is the Mayan Sanctuary Pool. It feels like a secluded haven built for your personal enjoyment even though it’s located near the center of the resort. Considerable lush greenery and a latticed overhead arch shade the island located in the center of the circular pool area. It also features picturesque white curtain-draped lounge beds, creating quite a dreamy scene. Draw the curtains if you feel the need for more privacy and laze the day away.
3. Under the Parota Tree at Almaverde Farm, Nuevo Vallarta
It’s a given, any farm-to-table experience tends to be indulgent and relaxing, but this experience is special. The sprawling 40-acre farm is located on the outside edge of the resort. Among the rows of produce, shade house, and greenhouse is a breathtaking 100-year-old parota tree that can be seen from every vantage point on the farm. It’s majestic in its tall wisdom and provides the most delicious shade. Guests who book the farm picnic experience can spend an afternoon delighting in the bucolic charm of the setting, while they take in the gentle slope of the fields as they dine on a meal featuring fresh-from-the-field ingredients.
4. The Hammocks at Salum Beachside Eateries and Market, Riviera Maya
Don’t worry, we didn’t forget about the hammock-lovers out there. This brand-new bohemian village is full of shady nooks and hidden romantic corners perfect for wiling away your hours. This sandy section just off the beach calls you to settle in at dusk and watch as the sun sinks and the fairy lights flicker on. Hungry for something light and savory? You need only walk a few steps to any of the delicious eateries behind the swaying palms.
5. Grand Luxxe Sky Lounge, Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta
What’s even better than a hidden corner of paradise? A rooftop hidden corner of paradise, of course. Located atop Grand Luxxe Tower V, this stretch of sun beds and hammocks is perfectly positioned for enjoying the bay breeze and giving you a sweeping view of your stunning surroundings without feeling like you’re in the middle of all the action.
6. The Hanging Swings of SHOREbar
There’s no experience that better represents “vacation vibes” than relaxing in one of these basket-weave chair swings and sipping on a tropical drink from SHOREbar. Located just behind the beach-y on-site food trailer, this shaded little cove is just the thing you’ll need to forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life and give in to just how good vacation is.
Don’t forget, all of these epic relaxation spots would compliment our Wellness Weekend coming up in November perfectly. A retreat made for getting away from it all and deepening your relationship with the authentic self. Find out more about Vidanta Wellness Retreat here.
