Vidanta Luxxe Estates
Nuestra casa es su casa — our home is your home at Vidanta
In 2007, the Bowers family found a home away from home at Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta. Nearly two decades later, we’ve visited dozens of times and experienced the very best that the resort has to offer.
We want our guests to experience why we fell in love with The Estates & Grand Luxxe properties, and aim to make vacation rentals at Vidanta more accessible. Enjoy the benefits of exclusive Platinum Member perks and golf included in our timeshare when you book with us.
Reserving directly with owners Catherine and Darryl grants premium access at a fraction of the cost compared to Vidanta or other third-party platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. Vidanta Luxxe Estates is an independent rental service operated by Catherine and Darryl Bowers, Platinum Members who have owned at Vidanta since 2007. When you book with us, you get access to the same Estates and Grand Luxxe units as any other guest, but at a fraction of the cost compared to non-members - what Vidanta charges for a nightly stay is roughly what we charge for an entire week (check this out, in most cases, it is significantly less than what Vidanta charges for one night). We are not employed by, contracted by, or affiliated with Grupo Vidanta®.
-
You can expect to save a whopping 70% - 95% by booking directly through us compared to non-member pricing listed on Vidanta’s official website.
-
Absolutely not. When you book through Vidanta Luxxe Estates, there is no obligation to attend a timeshare sales presentation. You are our private guests during your stay, so I recommend declining any invitation you are given.
-
All reservations with Vidanta Luxxe Estates include: full occupancy of your suite for seven nights, unlimited access to all Grand Luxxe or Estates amenities, and private butler service for Estates guests. Vidanta provides complimentary airport transport upon arrival to owners and their guests only. However, as owners, we book and pay for transport on arrival for all our rental guests. We know it is a great comfort to our guests. You will share all the perks we do, including free gym access and complimentary and/or reduced cost golf access per your unit’s membership tier. Even more if we are on the property.
-
Yes. Complimentary golf access is included as part of our Platinum Membership and is available to you as our guest. Most reservations at The Grand Luxxe or The Estates include four to six complimentary rounds per week, with additional rounds available at a significantly reduced rate (approximately $50 USD per round) compared to the public green fee.

Vidanta properties have distinct hotel tiers based on exclusivity and pricing. In 2007, we purchased a timeshare ownership at The Grand Mayan and have continually upgraded our membership, now owning contracts at The Empire Estates, The Estates, and The Grand Luxxe.
The Grand Luxxe, first opened in 2010, is Vidanta’s flagship luxury brand and AAA Five Diamond Award recipient. The Grand Luxxe is the largest hotel by size and availability, with units ranging from studios to four-bedroom residences. Guests at The Grand Luxxe have access to all Grand Luxxe pools, gyms, and the Grand Luxxe Kids’ Club.
The Estates opened in Nuevo Vallarta and Riviera Maya in 2019, and expanded to East Cape (Los Cabos) in 2024. Set in a private jungle oasis separate from the main resort towers, The Estates in Nuevo Vallarta offers a more secluded and quieter experience. Guests at The Estates benefit from butler service available 24/7 via WhatsApp, private shuttle transportation at the resort, exclusive Estates pools, and an exclusive Estates spa, gymnasium, and hydrotherapy amenities.
The Empire Estates is located in Nuevo Vallarta and East Cape, with four-bedroom and one-bedroom units available. Our personal favourite is The Empire Estates Four Bedroom, with an expansive terrace and private pool perfect for hosting unforgettable gatherings - this is where we hosted our 30th wedding anniversary with our closest friends and family.
The most recent addition to Vidanta’s luxury lineup is the resort’s newest crown jewel, the stunning Emperor’s Pavilion Loft in Nuevo Vallarta. This unit is Vidanta’s most exclusive accommodation, with more than 21,000 square feet featuring four bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, a private terrace and plunge pool overlooking the ocean, and unbeatable access to amenities including a private chef, butler, and car service.

Nuevo Vallarta (near Puerto Vallarta) is Vidanta’s pièce de résistance and most expansive resort destination. Named one of the Top Hotels in Mexico and the World by Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards, this location is perfect for golf enthusiasts - home to the Greg Norman Signature Course and the PGA Tour Mexico Open. With 40+ restaurants, a lazy river, the most extensive pool network at Vidanta, and the upcoming BON Luxury Theme Park at VidantaWorld, there’s no shortage of amenities and activities for families and groups.
Riviera Maya is Vidanta’s coastal Caribbean destination, set within 1,000 acres of Mayan jungle south of Cancun near Playa del Carmen.
