AN AWE-INSPIRING EVENT FOR ALLVidanta prides itself on creating truly magical moments for families from all over to come and experience together. But the addition of the theatrical and culinary phenomenon JOYÀ by Cirque du Soleil to Vidanta Riviera Maya has brought a whole new level of adventure, mystery, and entertainment to our vacations, and we can’t wait for all of our members to experience its marvels for themselves! JOYÀ, the first collaboration between Vidanta and Cirque du Soleil, debuted last November and, ever since, vacationers and locals alike have been flocking to behold this amazing show, not to mention the breath-taking theater that contains it. But JOYÀ is so much more than just a show! To truly get the most out of the experience, we recommend that guests take the resort-provided transport over to the theater early in order to enjoy a drink or appetizer at the neighboring

LOOKING FORWARD
Last year was a landmark one at Vidanta, and we will keep growing and evolving in 2015 with new resort hotel openings, more activities, new restaurants, and more. Our vision for the future goes well beyond 2015 — and it’s going to be incredible. Especially when we think about the most ambitious project we’ve ever undertaken: The Park at Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta.

WE’RE DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE: BRINGING
YOUR WILDEST DREAMS TO LIFE
THE PARK AT NUEVO VALLARTASince our members are like family to us, we are incredibly excited to formally announce that we’ve embarked on an unprecedented endeavor solely with your happiness in mind. Partnering with the creative visionaries at Cirque du Soleil — the revolutionary leaders in international entertainment — we’ve commenced work on a groundbreaking project that will completely reinvent the idea of a theme park, pushing the limits of physics, technology, performing arts, and the imagination.
The Park at Nuevo Vallarta will create a world where magic and miracles never end. Whether guests are exploring new worlds, taking in awe-inspiring performances, or experiencing one of the most amazing water parks ever built, they’re sure to never forget the memories they make at this truly singular place. And the magic doesn’t have to end when they go back home for the night, either! Vidanta is creating three new resort hotels whose allure and originality will equal that of the park: The Kingdom of the Sun, The Kingdom of the Stars, and The Cascades.
