ACCOMMODATIONS
Each villa at the resort is a testament to modern luxury, featuring a private plunge pool, wine bar, luxurious bathroom, fireplace, and exterior terrace. With panoramic windows framing uninterrupted vistas, guests can marvel at the ever-changing scenery from the comfort of their beds. Inside, organically crafted interiors featuring elegant furniture pieces that have been meticulously crafted from dehydrated Tzalam wood, sourced from the tropical forests of Mexico's southern region, create a sense of harmony with the surrounding environment.
Designed with wellbeing in mind, each villa also offers a range of high-end amenities, including yoga mats, floating weights, and mindfulness aids, ensuring a holistic and rejuvenating stay. A standout villa includes the Winemaker's Three-bedroom Pool Villa, with impressive vineyard views suitable for six guests in over 3,400 square feet.
WELLBEING
Drawing on Asian traditions that date back centuries, Banyan Tree Veya's wellbeing experiences are formed around the Banyan Group's '8 Pillars of Wellbeing', a foundation for a holistic and enriching journey toward overall wellbeing. Itineraries are customized around each individual from a questionnaire and pre-arrival consultation with a team of experts, including Spa Manager Heriberto Peña, who brings over a decade of experience in the luxury spa and wellness space.
The Veya Spa will be home to; four treatment rooms, the Desert Spring hydrotherapy room, Vitality Fitness Studio, the White Cave for meditation and sound healing, Multifunction Movement Studio, two hilltop pools, a labyrinth, and a traditional temazcal. It will offer a diverse range of world-class treatments deeply rooted in Asian and local indigenous rituals, met with homemade products from Veya Pharm, the property's garden, and a range of unique wellbeing offerings from Qi Body Flow to ancient fusioned massage techniques. Integrating functional movement and mindful awareness, daily group and private classes include breathwork, singing bowl therapy, apothecary workshops, yoga, meditation and more.
The first in Valle de Guadalupe, the property's traditional Mexican temazcal (house of heat) ritual cleanses the mind and body. The transformative, culturally-rooted ceremony is guided by a local Temazcalero, who will lead guests through the rituals of deep breathing exercises, meditative chants and drumming to help release tension and renew their energy, before stepping into the temazcal dome with hot stones and medicinal plants that will purify the senses on all levels. A closing ritual will seal the transformation, enhancing mental clarity and spiritual renewal.
CULINARY AND EVENTS
Led by Food and Beverage Manager Fernando Labra Degante, the resort's seven culinary concepts aim to inspire conscious living, seamlessly weaving healthy ingredients and practices into both traditional and modern Mexican dishes utilizing fresh, locally harvested food that supports small farms and is sustainably sourced.
