When a landmark hotel in Bahía de Banderas came to market, our long-time client ALÓJICA engaged VIDA to create a strategic plan for the acquisition and renovation strategy for the property.  An iconic building originally designed by renowned architect Sordo Madaleno is now The Westin Playa Vallarta — a 281-suite all-inclusive resort. VIDA led the reimagining of key guest amenities, introducing swim-up pools, ocean-view plunge pools, and a spa pool. These immersive amenities elevate the guest experience, creating moments that feel more considered, more connected, and more refined. Features such as the swim-up pools transform what would have been standard ground-floor rooms into premium guest suites. While the plunge pools on the upper floors offer a more private, luxurious experience for guests seeking a greater sense of exclusivity.
