The chic Mexican hideaway hotel Verana, set in lush jungle overlooking Mexico´s Pacific coast just south of Puerto Vallarta, is a unique mountaintop retreat that will take your breath away. Verana, designed like a film set by movie industry veterans Heinz Legler and Veronique Lievre, appeals to adventurous, discerning travelers seeking an out-of-the-ordinary experience encompassing a connection with nature, complete privacy and total relaxation.
A 30-minute open-air boat ride along the Pacific coast, followed by a short hike up a jungle path while donkeys carry your luggage, brings you to Verana, this unique paradise. An oasis of modern amenities where folklore and high design, nature and sophistication coexist, creating the ultimate primitive-chic experience.
Stone pathways carved into the hillside link the infinity-edged, spring-water pool, outdoor bar and restaurant with the seven casitas. Constructed of local materials, the accommodations, all distinct from one another, feature many open-air spaces, though they are uniquely designed to achieve utmost privacy. Surrounded by fan palms, citrus trees and bougainvillea, each is artfully decorated with antiques and handcrafted wooden furniture and charming found objects. All have private bathrooms, some with outdoor showers, two mosquito-netted beds and a private terrace from which to enjoy unparalleled sea and mountain views. Here nature provides the sound bytes, since there are no electronics, telephones or other distractions.
The Mexican chef prepares dishes with the freshest local, and where possible organic, ingredients with Pacific Rim influences and European twists. Menus are complemented by a savvy wine and tequila menu.
Verana´s spa, which continues the indoor-outdoor theme, features romantic open-air soaking baths to enjoy by candlelight under the night sky, two palapas for lush body and face treatments and massage, one of which seems to float above the jungle and ocean, and a watsu massage pool surrounded by palm trees.
Consider This ...
If you dream of spending a few nights in the jungle, while not forsaking comfort or extreme pampering, then Verana is the place for you. Want to spend some time in dynamic Puerto Vallarta, as well? Consider booking a few nights at the equally sumptuous Hacienda San Angel, located in the heart of this magical town.
