Riviera Nayarit, Mexico (February 16, 2017) - The AAA Five Diamond Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit on Mexico's Pacific Coast has rolled out a plethora of wellness-themed offerings recently, the latest - a coloring book. It is believed that coloring contributes to wellness and mindfulness which is why the resort developed the book. DIY Mandala Workshops, designated wellness suites, Vitamin C Showers, healthy mini-bar items, vegan menus and more also available onsite.

The 56-page coloring book features a variety of mandalas, an ancient, spiritual and ritual symbol used to represent the universe and its creation - often used in meditation.

The de-stressing, creativity-sparking activity is also offered for groups as a meeting break.
