Grupo Vidanta launched VidantaWorld, a new destination brand combining luxury resorts, entertainment and a planned theme park in Mexico.

The brand debuts Dec. 16 with two all-suite hotels: Bon Hotel at the Nuevo Vallarta resort and Jungala Hotel at the Riviera Maya resort. Both properties are members of the Preferred Hotels & Resorts LVX Collection and are commissionable through major GDS systems and wholesalers.

Bon Luxury Theme Park is scheduled to open in fall 2026 at the Nuevo Vallarta resort. The park will feature 23 attractions, 25 restaurants and 16 shops across five themed lands. Access during the first year will be limited to guests staying at the Nuevo Vallarta resort's approximately 3,000 rooms and suites. The park will open to the general public after the first year.

VidantaWorld operates two resort destinations: VidantaWorld Nuevo Vallarta spans 2,500 acres on the Pacific coast and includes championship golf courses, including Norman's Vidanta Vallarta, home of the PGA Tour Mexico Open. VidantaWorld Riviera Maya on the Caribbean coast features the Jungala Aqua Experience with Latin America's longest lazy river and Cirque du Soleil Joya dinner show.

Grupo Vidanta hired Dianna Rom as senior vice president of travel agency sales. Rom previously served as vice president of sales at Windstar Cruises. The company will launch the VidantaWorld Travel Advisor Academy in January.

Both hotels are bookable through Preferred Hotels & Resorts under vendor code 'PH.'
