Vallarta Tourism Board Promotes Wellness Tourism

June 30, 2014

Between the ocean and the mountains, Puerto Vallarta's natural surroundings encourage rest and physical and mental renewal; it is an ideal destination for those who wish to combine a journey of relaxation & fun.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - A little over two weeks before the start of the summer vacation season, the Puerto Vallarta Tourism Board hosted a press trip on the topic "Wellness on Vacation," which has become one more reason to visit the greater Banderas Bay region.

Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire, Glamour, Grazia and The Robb Report were among the media outlets in attendance; all of these are publications with great national scope and readers interested in the Health and Wellness segment.

Participants stayed at The Puerto Vallarta Westin Resort & Spa. In recent months the resort has created unique experiences for both guests and local residents through its Wellness Movement initiative, a natural extension of its historic commitment to health and wellness. The Puerto Vallarta Westin Resort & Spa is known for offering various activities to renew the body and spirit.

The magazines' wellness editors enjoyed a series of activities such as a Hatha Yoga class and personalized massages at the host hotel. They were given the opportunity to grow their own Earthbox© orchards within the new organic Se Verde (Be Green) center, in a class taught by Dr. Sofia Ramirez.

While here, they also discovered a beautiful area with a great variety of flora and fauna, the idyllic Vallarta Botanical Gardens, followed by a holistic Temazcal experience at Amantli. Between the sea and the mountains, Puerto Vallarta offers privileged natural surroundings that encourage rest and physical and mental renewal; it is an ideal option for those who wish to combine a journey of relaxation and fun.
