EXPERIENCE
Offering all the amenities necessary for a transformative get-away, Verana was designed for travelers with a sense of adventure and an appreciation for tranquility. A unique haven carved out of the lush and verdant Mexican jungle, Verana allows guests to enjoy the simple pleasures of leisure in a rustic yet sophisticated style.
Verana is a modern hybrid of the traditional and the contemporary. By combining indigenous methods of construction and the natural landscape of the jungle with a modern design sensibility. Legler and Lievre (its owners) have given Verana a style which is distinctly its own.
Each of the eight guesthouses maintains an uncomplicated and elegant aesthetic while remaining authentic in feel and function. Set within luxuriant tropical gardens, each house has its own spacious terrace with panoramic views, mosquito-netted beds, and furniture as well as fixtures designed by local artisans. The Spa at Verana is a continuation of this design ethic. Carved into the rocks overlooking the Bay of Yelapa the spa is surrounded by a diverse variety of tropical plants and vegetation, which insure privacy without compromising the view. The spa offers massages, facials and body wraps among other treatments.
Verana offers an extensive array of activities and excursions, including ocean kayaking, fishing, whale and bird watching, trekking jungle trails and snorkeling. Of course, a day can also be well spent in Verana’s beautiful spring water swimming pool with its 180 degree view of the mountains and the sea, or reclining in a hammock with a book from the hotel’s library while waiting for an afternoon massage.
LOCATION
Close to the town of Yelapa, Verana is set deep on a hillside with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the mountains of the Valle de la Sierra Oriental. Yelapa is located on Mexico’s west coast and is accessed by air via Puerto Vallarta. Once in Puerto Vallarta, guests will take a taxi to Boca de Tomatlan beach where the Verana boat will be waiting. The 20-minute boat ride to Yelapa is followed by a short hike through the jungle - or mule ride if one prefers - to Verana’s idyllic hillside retreat. The luggage is brought up separately by mule.
