Banyan Group has announced the launch of Banyan Tree Veya in Valle de Guadalupe, a luxurious wellness retreat nestled in the scenic vineyards of Mexico’s renowned wine region. Located just 90 minutes from the U.S. border, this opening marks the debut of the Group’s dedicated wellbeing brand, Banyan Tree Veya, offering a serene sanctuary for guests seeking rejuvenation and connection in a tranquil setting.
“We are excited to debut our wellbeing-focused Veya brand in North America, where the wellness industry is booming, while also bringing something new to the region of Valle de Guadalupe, which is currently mostly known for its wine and culinary offerings,” said Peter Hechler, Senior Vice President, Head of Regional Operations, Africa, Europe, Middle East & Americas at Banyan Group.
“Banyan Tree Veya, meaning to weave, was created to provide a place of connection with oneself, others and nature. 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.”
Designed by acclaimed Mexican architect Michel Rojkind and interiors by smArq Arquitectura, the resort embraces earth’s architecture and blends seamlessly into the rolling hills of Valle de Guadalupe.
Nestled in the hills of Baja California, the 16-acre Banyan Tree Veya, Valle de Guadalupe features a bespoke collection of 30 villas with private plunge pools, a variety of wellbeing experiences and an ethnobotanical garden.
The resort also offers a private winery that will debut its own exclusive collection of wines dedicated solely to Grenache, as well as several exceptional culinary outlets that are poised to set a new gastronomic standard in the renowned wine region of Valle de Guadalupe.
