Vacaya Mexico Resort Vacation

VACAYA is making a triumphant return to the acclaimed UNICO adults-only, all-inclusive boutique resort brand – this time at its latest gem, the all-new UNICO 20° 105° Hotel Riviera Nayarit! Nestled along the pristine shores of Riviera Nayarit 20 minutes from the Puerto Vallarta airport, this resort offers an intimate escape infused with the vibrant spirit of Puerto Vallarta’s rich culture and natural beauty.

Set to open September 1, 2025, this 141-room retreat offers an intimate, culturally immersive experience that blends luxury with local flair. Guests can indulge in personalized service from Local Hosts, rejuvenate at the Esencia Wellness Spa, and savor culinary delights at three signature restaurants – Agua Madre for authentic Mexican fare, Lia for Italian cuisine, and KOBO for Japanese-inspired dishes. UNICO 20°105° seamlessly combines modern luxury with cultural immersion, providing an unforgettable setting for VACAYA’s signature programming, entertainment, and community connection. Whether you’re lounging by the rooftop pool, exploring the historic downtown and uber gay-friendly Zona Romántica, or dancing the night away under the stars back at the resort, this is more than a vacation… it’s a celebration of authenticity, inclusivity, and unbridled joy!

What makes this VACAYA getaway even more extraordinary is its timing with two of Mexico’s most spirited celebrations: Halloween and Día de los Muertos. From October 31 to November 2, Puerto Vallarta transforms into a vibrant tapestry of color, culture, and community. The city comes alive with festive parades, elaborate altars (ofrendas), and the iconic towering Catrina statues along the Malecón, creating a mesmerizing backdrop for remembrance and revelry. Guests can immerse themselves in local traditions, from face painting and costume contests to sampling pan de muerto and participating in candlelit cemetery visits.

These Day of the Dead celebrations offer a profound connection to Mexican heritage, blending joyful remembrance with communal festivity, and provide VACAYA travelers with a unique opportunity to honor the past while celebrating the present in a truly inclusive environment. And while Día de los Muertos begins the day we officially leave the resort, we’ll have some fun holiday activities along the way. And for those who extend their time in PV, you’ll get the full Day of the Dead experience!
