Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (April 30, 2026) - Velas Resorts' annual Wellnessing Getaway returns this June with an international roster of wellness instructors, coaches, and specialists who guide guests through a schedule that balances high-energy movement with deeply restorative practices. Offered at the  AAA Five Diamond Grand Velas Resorts in Riviera Nayarit, Riviera Maya, and Los Cabos, the immersive wellness retreats are designed to reconnect guests with their inner energy. This year's edition introduces a refreshed concept inspired by harmony, nature, and intentional rest — a safe space to let go, breathe, and return to center. All Wellnessing Getaway programming is included in the nightly all-inclusive rate.

Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit | June 11-13, 2026
 

Framed by the Sierra Madre mountains and the sound of Banderas Bay, the Riviera Nayarit edition is built around intentional movement, reflection, and meaningful reset. The retreat opens on the evening of June 11 with an Elemental Welcome Ceremony hosted by Ana Paula Domínguez, CEO of Instituto Mexicano de Yoga, grounding guests in the natural energy of the Pacific coast. Certified Pilates and Strength instructor Sivan Tayer leads back-to-back movement sessions with a Strength X Pilates class and Mat Pilates session, offering guests a thorough introduction to her approach to mindful, functional movement. Toronto-based, board-certified family and lifestyle medicine physician Dr. Noam Raiter leads a workshop on Food as Medicine: Eating for Prevention, Energy, and Longevity — a practical and science-backed look at how nutrition supports long-term health. Cycling classes are led by fitness and wellness enthusiast Aisha Jones alongside Alexia Asomoza of Puerto Vallarta's Ride Lab Studio. A breathwork and ice bath session rounds out the movement programming. Germaine de Capuccini — the number one professional aesthetics brand in Spain — leads an elevated skincare ritual, A Trifecta of Purity: Cleanse, Purify & Regenerate, built on a sensorial double cleansing followed by the Tec-Exosome Cellular Renewal System.

The series continues on the Caribbean coast, where Grand Velas Riviera Maya — surrounded by jungle, cenotes, and turquoise water — hosts the Seaside Movement edition. Here, the retreat is designed to feel like a complete summer reset: high-energy and social, but balanced with genuinely restorative moments. Guests are guided by the four elements: Earth on Day 1, Air on Day 2, Water on Day 3, and Fire on Day 4 — a thread that runs from the Earth-inspired welcome cocktail to the Farewell Dinner, where guests are invited to arrive in the colors of Fire: red, orange, and yellow.

The retreat opens on the evening of June 18 with a Four Elements Welcome Dinner and stargazing. Izzy Martens — senior yoga teacher, founder of Yoga Humans, and co-author of Holding Space: A Guide to Mindful Facilitation — leads Vinyasa flow sessions throughout the retreat.
