Velas Resorts has launched new MICE offerings that blend culture, creativity and culinary exploration. Designed to foster team bonding and inspire collaboration, these activities are perfect for a meeting break or teambuilding session, and provide participants with an immersive connection to the traditions of Mexico.
At Grand Velas Los Cabos, “Brushes, Catrinas, and Cocktails” invites participants to celebrate the spirit of Mexican culture through art and mixology. Teams work together to paint Catrinas, the beautifully adorned skeletal figures that symbolize life’s joyful celebration. Accessible for all skill levels, this =exercise allows individuals to showcase their artistic flair while engaging in the shared cultural journey. Complementing the activity, participants enjoy signature cocktails handcrafted by the resort’s mixologists.
For teams seeking a wellness-inspired activity, Casa Velas in Puerto Vallarta offers a “Floral Workshop and Botanical Mocktails Experience.” Set in a botanical garden, the activity begins with a hands-on floral design session where participants create beautiful flower crowns or arrangements. Following the workshop, attendees learn to craft their own mocktails using fresh herbs and spices from the onsite botanical garden.
At Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit, MICE guests can participate in a “Huichol Beading and Raicilla Cocktail Class.” Team members personalize their own cocktail shaker with vibrant beads used most frequently by the indigenous people of the area, creating functional art that reflects their individual style. The experience continues with a cocktail-making class using raicilla, a traditional and lesser-known Mexican spirit also with origins on Mexico’s Pacific Coast, where participants craft signature drinks using their custom-made shakers.
