Grupo Vidanta

Founded in 1974, Grupo Vidanta is a top-ranked luxury tourism developer in Mexico and Latin America with practices in property architecture, product design, construction, and operations. Among its impressive portfolio of over 25 resorts and hotels, Grupo Vidanta boasts two AAA Five Diamond Award-winning resorts: Grand Luxxe Nuevo Vallarta and Grand Luxxe Riviera Maya, and four AAA Four Diamond Award-winning resorts: The Grand Bliss Nuevo Vallarta, The Grand Mayan Nuevo Vallarta, The Grand Mayan Riviera Maya, and The Grand Mayan Acapulco. In its mission to reinvent luxury vacationing and continually innovate Mexico's tourism infrastructure, the brand has forged partnerships with the leading names in sports and entertainment, including Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman, Cirque du Soleil, and Hakkasan Group. In collaboration with Cirque du Soleil, Grupo Vidanta created a custom theater in Riviera Maya to house JOYÀ, a first-of-its kind culinary and theatrical experience, and Cirque du Soleil's only resident show in Mexico. The recent partnership with Hakkasan Group led to a complete transformation of Vidanta Los Cabos to offer four new dining and venue concepts—OMNIA Dayclub, SHOREbar, and Casa Calavera. Grupo Vidanta is committed to protecting and celebrating Mexico through philanthropy and sustainability. In addition to employing over 17,000 individuals, the company operates two foundations to enrich the lives of Latin Americans: the Vidanta Foundation, which bestows grants to promote culture and fight poverty, and the Delia Morán Vidanta Foundation, which seeks to provide extracurricular education to low-income children in Nayarit. For nine years running, Grupo Vidanta has been recognized by the Great Place to Work Institute, as one of the top ten employers in Mexico.
