Casa Velas Hotel Boutique

Puerto Valarta 's all-inclusive, adults-only Casa Velas Hotel Boutique blurs the line between work and play with its 360-degree views of Marina Vallarta's golf club and 500-slip Pacific yacht harbor. When it comes to corporate retreats and events, the AAA Four Diamond Award–winning property gives executives the attention they deserve and meeting planners the flexibility they need to achieve their goals.

Departing groups repeatedly comment on the intimate atmosphere, sense of privacy and peacefulness, attention to detail, and luxury of the hotel. The 80 suites furnish a contemporary hacienda style, marble bathrooms (some with Jacuzzi tubs), balconies with tropical views (some with private plunge pools), and up to four bedrooms. Meanwhile, the Salon Emperador accommodates meetings in eight creative configurations and the Beach Club hosts parties beside Banderas Bay. Behind the scenes, event professionals take care of the logistics, audiovisual services, and custom catering on-site.

The dining options extend to Mexican haute cuisine at Emiliano and Asian specialties at the Beach Club. The all-inclusive plan also invites guests to dine en-suite and at the sister resort Velas Vallarta. Group activities tend toward outdoor pursuits, from golf on the surrounding fairways to whale and dolphin watching, save-the-sea-turtle projects, horseback excursions, and riding a zipline through the Sierra Madre's forest canopy. A pampering treatment at the hotel's spa provides the perfect reward for a busy day of work and play.
