About your trip

Join us for Day of the Dead in the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere of the Sea Garden Hotel at Vidanta's Nuevo Vallarta Resort. 


Want to unplug and relax? Feel free to take leisurely walks along the pristine beach in the mornings, lay poolside with a drink or a book, or curl up for an afternoon nap in the air conditioned comfort of your room or while enjoying the breeze of a beachside cabana.


Love a lot of activity? You can avail yourself of a range of activities offered at the resort, work out at the Grand Mayan gym or play golf on one of the resort's award-winning golf courses, plan a nearby sightseeing excursion or day trip in the area, or check out the evening entertainment.


PLUS this week with Mexico celebrating the Day of the Dead, the resort grounds will be covered with creative and beautiful alters, and you'll have the chance to enjoy the Day of the Dead festivities and exhibits during an optional outing to Puerto Vallarta!

Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta

Named as one of the Top Hotels in the World by Travel + Leisure's World's Best Awards, Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta is a Mexican owned and operated resort property. 


This expansive destination has been carefully curated to provide a high-end experience full of options for everyone, regardless of your interests:

-> A stunning stretch of walkable and swimmable beach and acres of manicured grounds

-> endless eateries offering a range of outstanding food options for every taste and budget

-> outdoor entertainment venues throughout the property that host live music each evening

-> access to a wide range of on-site activities and off-site excursions

-> spa services, gym facilities or world-class golf courses (these are available for an added fee)

The Sea Garden Hotel

The Sea Garden hotel offers exquisite pools with a swim-up bar and poolside service, an in-house restaurant, bar, and billiards room, and beautiful common areas.


The Sea Garden is set apart from the Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta main property by a 10-minute walk along the beach. Alternatively, you can take a taxi around to the main Vidanta arrivals area and catch a shuttle to various parts of the property from there.


Despite being slightly separated from the main resort, the Sea Garden's location is actually preferred by many for the following reasons:

- Amazing beachfront location where you can enjoy breathtaking views by day and hear the sound of the waves at night from your room

- Walking distance to lower priced restaurants, shops, and spa services located within the Nuevo Vallarta marina area

- Small shopping center located immediately next to the hotel where you can conveniently purchase the essentials and bill these to your room

- Dedicated activities desk for booking off-site excursions

- Easy taxi accessibility to Puerto Vallarta or other nearby sightseeing locations
