Thinking of going somewhere far-flung? Think of a relaxing week at Banyan Tree Veya in Valle de Guadalupe, the picturesque wine country of Mexico. As the Banyan Group‘s fifth property in this part of America, the resort is just 90 minutes from the USA border, offering a haven dedicated to wellbeing and mindfulness.

“Banyan Tree Veya, meaning to weave, was created to provide a place of connection with oneself, others and nature,” said Peter Hechler, senior vice president and head of regional operations of Africa, Europe, Middle East and Americas. “It offers a safe space where our guests can discover new possibilities and wisdom through the various somatic practices and embodiment therapies, so that they can integrate into their path of wellbeing.”

The Winemaker’s Three-Bedroom Pool Villa

Designed by Michel Rojkind and smArq Arquitectura, Banyan Tree Veya embraces the earth by blending seamlessly into the rolling hills of Baja California. Sprawled across 6.5 hectares, the resort features its own winery, ethnobotanical garden and 30 villas, each designed with locally sourced materials, its own private plunge pool, wine bar, fireplace and outdoor terrace. For groups of six, the Winemaker’s Three-Bedroom Pool Villa with panoramic views of the vineyard is the way to go.

Other standout features include the seven culinary concepts, which will support local small farms and health-conscious palates; personalised wellbeing experiences, shaped by Banyan Group’s ‘Eight Pillars of Wellbeing’; and the Veya Spa, which will offer world-class treatments, sound healing, hydrotherapy, traditional temazcal (to relieve strained muscles) and other indigenous rituals.

Accommodation rates begin at US$599 a night.
