The AAA Five Diamond Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit has unveiled its newest experiential offering, an Unplugged Adventure designed to immerse guests in Mexico’s breathtaking natural landscapes while fostering mindfulness. Under the guidance of one of the destination’s experienced naturalists, the experience allows visitors to discover beautiful trails, learn about local flora and fauna, and enjoy the outdoors in a safe and supportive environment. The adventure provides an ideal opportunity to disconnect from technology and reconnect with oneself.
Guests begin their day with a 45-minute private sunrise mindfulness session on the resort’s pristine beach. This tranquil practice prepares both mind and body for the day’s hiking expedition. The experience continues with a personalized hiking excursion on diverse trails showcasing the region’s stunning natural beauty. Guests can choose from several notable locations, each offering unique scenery and varying difficulty levels. Options include the majestic El Salto and Palo Maria waterfalls, secluded Colomitos Beach, and more challenging Monkey Mountain and Del Toro Mountain trails. Each hike can be customized to specific interests, including photography-focused excursions where participants can record the natural scenery, or wellness-oriented hikes incorporating additional mindfulness activities. The experience can be further enriched with educational workshops covering local plant identification, survival skills, or outdoor cooking.
After the hike, recovery and relaxation await back at the resort. Guests can enjoy a thoughtfully curated recovery station featuring local herbal teas, wellness elixirs, and light, nourishing bites. An optional invigorating ice bath, available either after the morning mindfulness session or post-hike, offers natural recovery benefits. To close the day in alignment, guests may also opt for sunset sound healing or a beachside stretch session. As a meaningful keepsake, guests have the option to take home a custom photo journal or field notes sketchbook to capture and commemorate their journey.
