Casa Velas - Press Room

Casa Velas, a boutique adults-only luxury hotel celebrated for its impeccable service, now introduces a pre-wedding bridal suite experience designed to pamper and prepare the bridal party. Inclusions range from a spa takeover for holistic spa treatments and accommodations and bonding activities for the group in the Presidential Suite to a full glam squad. 

The new offering also includes a Shaman blessing ceremony in the hotel's meditation garden, private yoga class, and all food and premium beverages at the hotel. Home base for the experience, the 5,564 sq. ft. Presidential Suite provides the ambiance of a private villa. The suite features four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a spectacular terrace with a private pool, ample living and dining areas, and plenty of space to headquarter the celebrations. 

With a full buyout of the hotel's boutique ABJA Spa included, the bridal party spends the day before the wedding enjoying the luxury of privacy and a selection of over 60 holistic treatments that marry ancient healing practices with contemporary wellness trends. The spa day starts with a hydrotherapy circuit featuring a eucalyptus-scented steam room enhanced with chromotherapy, followed by the pressure shower, sauna, and Jacuzzi to prepare the body and mind for the celebration ahead.

Massages, personalized for each person with a variety of fresh herbs and ingredients from the property's own botanical garden, aim to dissolve pre-wedding stress. Back in the suite, each guest is gifted a plush robe embroidered with their initials to relax in while enjoying a creativity workshop aimed to inspire mindfulness. In this session, the gal group can engage in making personalized keepsakes such as handcrafted fans, bespoke natural jewelry, or painting an object of their choice. A mocktail turndown service closes the day with a refreshing beverage made with sleep-promoting herbs from the garden. 

The wedding day starts with a morning yoga session and copal cleansing ceremony led by a shaman. This ancient ritual utilizes the aromatic resin of the copal tree, revered for its spiritual and medicinal power, to prepare the group spiritually for the festivities. The resin is burned, and its aromatic white smoke is believed to have the power to clear negative energies, offering protection and blessing to the participants. As the smoke envelops the group, the shaman guides them through prayers or chants, facilitating a connection with their inner selves and the surrounding nature.

The copal's soothing scent has been proven to stimulate emotions, improve mood, and increase personal en<ergy, making it an ideal preparation for the emotional and physical demands of a wedding. Post cleanse, the Presidential Suite is supplied with fresh pressed juices, varied Mexican pastries and an in-suite glam squad to ensure the bridal party looks and feels their best for the main event. Professional stylists provide hair, makeup, and nail services and the resort offers professional dress pressing services to ensure that the bride's gown and the bridal party's attire look immaculate.

The luxury bridal suite experience begins at $15,000 USD, inclusive of all activities noted above, roundtrip airport transfers, and two-night accommodation in the presidential suite for up to six people. At Casa Velas, luxury accommodations, gourmet meals, premium liquor and wine, use of the fitness center facilities, WiFi, taxes, and gratuities are included in the nightly rate.
