Set against Mexico’s most breathtaking landscapes, Velas Resorts elevates the guest vacation through innovative and sustainable offerings. One of our properties’ latest experiences is the Water Bottle Painting Workshop, a creative, eco-conscious activity that blends artistry with environmental awareness.

In this hands-on workshop, guests personalize high-quality reusable water bottles using premium paints and fine brushes. A protective lacquer ensures each unique design endures beyond the vacation. Hosted in tranquil beachfront spaces or lush garden venues, the setting enhances the experience with natural beauty.

Ideal for team-building events, bridal parties, family reunions, or romantic getaways, this activity leaves participants with a stylish, functional keepsake. These bottles can be refilled at hydration stations throughout the properties, encouraging sustainable habits during and after the stay.

Signature experience at Grand Velas Riviera Maya

At Grand Velas Riviera Maya, the workshop is part of the resort’s Luxury All-Inclusive daily activities. Guests paint sleek aluminum coffee thermoses instead of traditional water bottles, elevating the aesthetic and memory. Inspired by the turquoise sea, tropical gardens, and powdery white sand, participants find a creative outlet in a serene environment.

This offering supports the resort’s broader sustainability initiatives, allowing guests to reflect on their ecological impact while enjoying a mindful, artistic moment.

Gourmet creativity at Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit

Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit combines culinary excellence with creative flair in the Gourmet Picnic Experience. Here, the painting workshop complements an oceanfront picnic selected by the guests. A beautifully styled setting awaits, with a curated cheese and charcuterie board, seasonal berries, artisanal baguettes, and chilled rosé.

Inspiring moments at Casa Velas and Mar del Cabo

At Casa Velas in Puerto Vallarta, the workshop is part of the Ultimate Picnic Experience, which unfolds beside the tranquil koi pond surrounded by lush greenery. The ambiance fosters creativity and calm. 

Meanwhile, Mar del Cabo offers a distinctive version with its Paint Your Thermos experience. Guests personalize bottles using permanent markers while sipping handcrafted herbal teas on a terrace overlooking the Sea of Cortez. Each participant selects herbs or fruits for their custom blend and receives a printed recipe as a keepsake. 

Why sustainable workshops matter

Participating in these thoughtfully designed workshops offers more than just a creative outlet. Guests often forge meaningful connections, sharing a relaxed, hands-on experience that fosters community and leaves a lasting impression.

These moments also encourage mindfulness, inviting guests to focus on the present through artistic expression. Customizing a reusable bottle becomes symbolic: a commitment to reducing single-use plastics and embracing responsible tourism.

Workshops like these deepen the overall resort experience, weaving together culture, creativity, and sustainability within a luxurious setting. They reflect Velas Resorts’ dedication to providing elevated experiences with purpose.
