# Grand Velas All Inclusive Suites and Spa Resort *By James Hills, mantripping.com — Updated February 2025* Looking for the ultimate in luxury? How about relaxing with your friends at a resort with the largest spa in Riviera Maya while enjoying crystal clear water that is perfect for scuba and snorkeling? Don't forget mixology classes, swim-up pool bars, and the in-room mini bar that is refreshed daily. Let's check out the Grand Velas for all this and more! The all-inclusive resort Grand Velas located in Riviera Maya builds on the success of its AAA 5-Diamond-ranked sister property in Nuevo Vallarta. If you are looking for the ultimate in all-inclusive luxury, you can't get much classier than this one featuring 539 suites, each more than 1,000 square-feet in size! Additionally, suppose one of your goals is to escape from the kids (and other people's kids). In that case, there are even three separate parts of the resort: Oceanfront Ambassador Grand Class Suites with adults-only pool, beach, and restaurant, family-friendly ocean view, and oceanfront. Ambassador Suites and Master Suites are surrounded by the flora and fauna of the Yucatan Peninsula’s jungle. ## Great Food! If your idea of a fantastic Riviera Maya [mancation](https://www.mantripping.com/mancation.html) is food that is as good as the accommodations and beaches then Grand Velas is perfect there as well. The resort presents a gastronomic tour of the Yucatan, Europe, and Asia, offering seven restaurants with world-class chefs from France, Spain, and Mexico.

As you know by now, I am a sucker for [great spa experiences](https://menwhoblog.com/blog/guide-for-a-mans-first-spa-visit.html) and not every spa is created equal. There are spas with "treatment rooms" and then there are spas with fantastic sanctuary rooms. Grand Velas brings both in a more than 80,000 square-feet facility with 40 treatment rooms - the largest in Riviera Maya! One of the elements that makes the Grand Velas spa sanctuary stand out is their amazing Riviera Maya Water Journey that includes: - Vitality Experience Pool - Whirlpool - Cold Plunge Lagoon - Dry Sauna - Herbal Steam with Chromo Therapy - Clay Room - Pebble Foot Water Walk Pathway - Experience Showers - Water & Juice Bar - Ice Room ## Golf and Adventure Sports! Of course, no ultimate [Mexican mancation](https://www.mantripping.com/international/mexico.html) would be complete without experiencing all that Riviera Maya offers. From swimming with dolphins to hitting the greens on some of the top golf courses in the Caribbean with features including limestone canals, mangrove forests, secluded beaches, and ancient cenotes.   ## Search The Stars and Other Enrichment Activities From mixology classes, to astronomy sessions, to karaoke, there's plenty of stuff to keep you busy any time of day. So whether you are looking for great food, great spa treatments, great sports and adventure or just a relaxing day at the pool, [Grand Velas](https://rivieramaya.grandvelas.com/) should be on your list to check out!   Details Written by: James Hills Last Updated: 28 February 2025 ### 🚢Ready To Book A Vacation?
