The Westin Resort & Spa Puerto Vallarta will transform into an all-inclusive property and rebrand as The Westin Playa Vallarta, an All-Inclusive Resort when the conversion wraps in May 2026. The property will mark the first all-inclusive resort for the Westin brand in Mexico.

The property is undergoing a multimillion-dollar renovation that has been in progress for the past year. The renovation encompasses every aspect of the 281-suite resort, which sits on 14 acres near Marina Vallarta, minutes from Puerto Vallarta International Airport.

"We are thrilled to witness the next chapter in the evolution of our iconic resort in Playa Vallarta, an unparalleled all-inclusive destination awaiting customers beginning May 2026," said Hugo Lecanda, general manager of Westin Puerto Vallarta. "Whether seeking a romantic escape, a corporate retreat or to unwind and reconnect with friends and family, our reimagined resort will continue to deliver the same award-winning service our guests know and love — enhanced by our exciting new all-inclusive offerings."

The resort will feature reimagined suites, including 30 private plunge pool suites and 16 swim-up rooms. The property will also house 10 culinary and entertainment venues, ranging from an open-air, botany-inspired cocktail lounge to retail spaces.

Recreational amenities will include refreshed pools, new pickleball and padel courts and the brand’s signature WestinWorkout Fitness Studio. The property will maintain the Heavenly Spa for wellness treatments, and incorporate both adults-only areas and family-friendly spaces.

The current Westin Resort & Spa Puerto Vallarta will continue to operate under its existing format and welcome guests while the transformation work progresses.
