Velas Resorts is introducing a wonderful and creative new way for guests to connect with Mexican culture through a series of hands-on bag charm workshops. Launching this fall, these engaging activities invite visitors to create their own personalized keepsakes, beautifully blending the current trend of bag accessories with authentic local artistry.

At the Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit and Casa Velas properties, guests can participate in an “Ojo de Dios” (God’s Eye) workshop. This special experience delves into the rich heritage of the Huichol people, allowing participants to craft a traditional symbol of protection and well-being. Over at the Grand Velas Riviera Maya, the “Grand Bag Charms” experience offers a unique poolside service. A mobile cart brings all the materials directly to your lounge chair, so you can design a beautiful, personalized souvenir while soaking up the sun.

These new offerings are a fantastic reflection of Velas Resorts’ commitment to providing unique and meaningful experiences that go beyond typical luxury amenities. It is a perfect opportunity for guests to relax, get creative, and take home a beautiful, handcrafted reminder of their time in Mexico.
