Mayan Palace at Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta
The Mayan Palace at Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta is a beachfront hotel in Bahía de Banderas on Mexico's Pacific coast. The property features buildings about ten stories tall offering studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom suites equipped with balconies, modern bathrooms, and some with kitchenettes.
The hotel was developed as part of the Vidanta group, a Mexican resort company operating multiple properties across the country. The property emerged during a period when Nuevo Vallarta was expanding as a new vacation destination along the Pacific coast.
The name references Mayan civilization and its architectural legacy, which holds significance in Mexican heritage. The relaxed coastal lifestyle shapes how the property and surrounding area operate, with local seafood restaurants and artisan goods reflecting regional customs.
The hotel is about 12 minutes' drive from Puerto Vallarta airport and around 20 minutes from downtown with shops and entertainment. Interior signage is small and easy to miss, so it helps to get oriented before arrival.
A striking feature is the enormous winding pool that flows like a wide river from the top of the property down to the beach. The restaurants on-site are not included in room packages and each offers distinct cuisines ranging from seafood to Italian and Asian-Caribbean fusion.
