Casa Velas - Press Room

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico — For the perfect Mexico golf vacation, look no further than Puerto Vallarta, located on Mexico's Pacific Coast along Banderas Bay.  Framed by the majestic Sierra Madre Mountains with 40 miles of coastline, Puerto Vallarta is a destination rich in culture and home to many golf courses and championships, gastronomic events, sailing regattas, indigenous culture and prestigious art galleries.

Puerto Vallarta is on the same parallel as Hawaii, thus share the same tropical weather patterns.  With nearly 300 sunny days a year, with temperatures averaging 28C or 82F, and nine world class golf courses to choose from, Puerto Vallarta is the ideal golf destination.

Golfers can play golf amidst jungle-rich layouts while admiring the vistas of the Sierra Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.  Vista Vallarta, home of the PGA World Cup tournaments, has two 18-hole par 72 signatures courses.  One is designed by Jack Nicklaus and the other by Tom Weiskopf.  Marina Vallarta Golf Club is an 18-hole par 71 course designed by Joe Finger with views Banderas Bay and located within walking distance from some of Puerto Vallarta's finest resorts.  Other golf courses in the area include the Jack Nicklaus and Greg Norman courses in Punta Mita, the Robert Von Hagge-designed El Tigre and Isla de Navidad, and the Robert Trent Jones  El Tamarindo golf course. 

For a luxury all-inclusive golf vacation, Velas Resorts offers three options in the Vallarta area and golf privileges for guests at the Marina Vallarta and the two Vista Vallarta golf courses. The all-inclusive Casa Velas Hotel Boutique is an adults-only, golf resort nestled on the greens of the Marina Vallarta golf course.  The 80-suite golf and spa resort is a member of The Leading Small Hotels of the World and a recipient of the AAA Four-Diamond Award.   The family-friendly, all-inclusive Velas Vallarta Suite Resort & Convention Center is located on the beach across the way from the Marina Vallarta golf course and features 393 suites, several restaurants and swimming pools and entertainment for adults and kids. 

 The AAA Five Diamond all-inclusive Grand Velas All Suites & Spa Resort is situated in Nuevo Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit.  The resort is also close to Vista Vallarta and Marina Vallarta and just blocks away from the Robert Von Hagge and Jim Lipe designed golf courses.  The 267-suite Grand Velas resort is a member of The Leading Hotels of World and offers five restaurants, three of which are gourmet, featuring stylish decor and a la carte choices for French, Italian and Mexican cuisine.  For post-golf pampering, Grand Velas Spa features more than 20 treatment rooms and 80 different spa treatments.  The Velas Resorts' all-inclusive rates include suite accommodations, a la carte gourmet meals at a choice of specialty restaurants, premium branded beverages, 24 hr in-suite service, fitness center, taxes and gratuities and more.
