The chic Mexican hideaway hotel Verana, set in lush jungle overlooking Mexico´s Pacific coast just south of Puerto Vallarta, is a unique mountaintop retreat that will take your breath away. Verana, designed like a film set by movie industry veterans Heinz Legler and Veronique Lievre, appeals to adventurous, discerning travelers seeking an out-of-the-ordinary experience encompassing a connection with nature, complete privacy and total relaxation.
A 30-minute open-air boat ride along the Pacific coast, followed by a short hike up a jungle path while donkeys carry your luggage, brings you to Verana, this unique paradise. An oasis of modern amenities where folklore and high design, nature and sophistication coexist, creating the ultimate primitive-chic experience.
Closest to the Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport in Puerto Vallarta, 40 minutes to Boca de Tomatlan and another 20 minutes to the village of Yelapa.
Constructed of local materials, the accommodations, all distinct from one another, feature many open-air spaces, though they are uniquely designed to achieve utmost privacy. Surrounded by fan palms, citrus trees and bougainvillea, each is artfully decorated with antiques and handcrafted wooden furniture and charming found objects. All have private bathrooms, some with outdoor showers, two mosquito-netted beds and a private terrace from which to enjoy unparalleled sea and mountain views. Here nature provides the sound bytes, since there are no electronics, telephones or other distractions.
