Vidanta Family Session

Evonne’s Family
Nuevo Vallarta

Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta stretches along Banderas Bay on the Nayarit side, about twenty minutes from the Puerto Vallarta airport. The resort brings together several hotels, among them the Mayan Palace and the Grand Mayan, and what strikes you when you reach the beach is the space. The sand is wide and flat, it runs as far as you can see, and late in the afternoon there is almost nobody on it.

For a family session it is ideal ground. Children can run without anyone watching them too closely, and the sea and the sky fill the whole background behind the people. On the garden side, the lawns and the white-curtained palapas give a second setting, more sheltered, for the end of the session when the sun drops behind the palms. Vidanta also protects the sea turtles that come to nest on its beach, and that evening one of them came up onto the sand right in front of us.
