Velas Resorts in Mexico has launched a “Multi-Day Menu of Wedding Activities” to reinvent the destination wedding experience. With 60 percent of Velas couples opting for more than just the traditional wedding and reception, Velas Resorts provides a range of experiences and entertainment at its properties in Riviera Maya, Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit and Los Cabos for couples and their guests.
The multi-day wedding menu of services includes:
- Welcome Cocktails and Carajillo Bar: The celebration begins with an intimate gathering at the carajillo bar where guests can enjoy personalized drinks and amenities to celebrate the couple. The carajillo, a hot coffee drink mixed with hard liquor, dates back to Spanish troops and is a popular part of Mexican restaurant culture. Velas Resorts offers a range of unique flavors from traditional to trendy such as s’mores, coconut, Mexican cinnamon-infused Rumchata, pistachio, mint, chai and gold.
- Pre-Wedding Spa Atelier Experience: This experience prepares brides and bridesmaids for the big day with restorative yoga, meditation, a skincare workshop and an exfoliant crafting session. The experience concludes with a relaxing water ceremony at the spa.

When seven or more suites are booked, guests at Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit can enjoy a complimentary personalized wellness getaway designed by the director of the Mexican Institute of Yoga. This offering begins with a consultation and includes activities such as yoga, mindful eating seminars, ayurvedic massages, and more. Guests also receive a $50 credit at the resort’s SE Spa, including a complimentary session of the Hydrotherapy Journey.
