Discover Authentic Mexico in Tepic

October 20, 2025

In Nayarit’s capital city, vibrant traditions meet Riviera luxury — and WestJet makes it easier than ever to experience both.

With its lively plazas, centuries-old artistry, and colourful markets, Tepic is Mexico at its most authentic. This capital city of Nayarit remains blissfully untouched by mass tourism, offering travellers a rare opportunity to connect with Indigenous traditions, colonial heritage, and a thriving culinary scene. And when it’s time to unwind, the Riviera’s golden beaches and luxury resorts are just a short drive away.

This winter, WestJet Vacations brings Tepic within easier reach than ever before, with new direct flights from Calgary.

A City Steeped in Story

Begin in Tepic’s historic centre, where leafy plazas open onto cobblestone streets lined with pastel façades and neoclassical architecture. The soaring Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption commands the skyline, while the Casa de Amado Nervo — birthplace of one of Mexico’s most celebrated poets — invites a quieter pause.

Culture here feels alive, woven into daily rhythms rather than packaged for visitors. In nearby Huichol villages, artisans create beadwork and yarn paintings of dazzling precision, each design a spiritual narrative passed down through generations. At the Centro Cultural de los Cinco Pueblos, you’ll see how Huichol, Cora, Tepehuan and Mexicanero traditions continue to shape the region’s identity.

Beyond the city, remarkable adventures await. The Islas Marías, once a remote penal colony, has been reborn as a protected cultural and natural reserve, where guided tours pair fascinating history with untouched beaches. Closer to town, Tepic’s bustling markets spill over with handwoven textiles, rustic pottery and culinary treats — from smoked marlin tacos to candied pitaya — each flavour and craft a direct link to Mexico’s heritage.

Part of Tepic’s allure is its easy connection to the coast. Within a couple of hours, the cultural capital gives way to Riviera Nayarit’s surf breaks, palm-fringed beaches, and luxurious resorts.

At Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit, expect AAA Five Diamond indulgence, including the SE Spa’s new Chakra Healing Sessions that blend ancient Mexican practices with contemporary wellness techniques. Secrets Bahia Mita Surf & Spa Resort offers adults-only tranquillity with a rooftop infinity pool gazing over Banderas Bay, while Dreams Bahia Mita Surf & Spa Resort blends family-friendly programming with sleek design. Multi-generational groups will find thoughtful extras at Grand Palladium Vallarta Resort & Spa, where the exclusive Family Selection program delivers personalized touches for every age.

A Culinary Crossroads

For many travellers, food is Tepic’s most unforgettable calling card. In its markets, cooks prepare recipes unchanged for generations, while contemporary chefs reinterpret regional flavours with creative flair. The city also provides a gateway to Vallarta Nayarit Gastronómica, one of Mexico’s premier culinary festivals, where Michelin-starred chefs share kitchens with local innovators. Hands-on cooking classes and artisanal tequila tastings offer another lens into the region — one where tradition, geography and craft converge in every bite and sip.

The Best of Both Worlds

What makes Tepic extraordinary isn’t only its cultural depth or its coastal proximity, but the way the two worlds intertwine. Here, a morning of Huichol artistry can flow into an afternoon of spa treatments by the sea, and evenings might mean sipping tequila in a buzzing plaza or watching the sun sink into the Pacific.

In Tepic, you don’t have to choose between authenticity and indulgence — you can have both, often in the very same day.

Plan your escape with a flight and hotel package from WestJet Vacations, and experience the best of Mexico’s heartland and Riviera luxury in one unforgettable journey.

A New Luxury Link Between Mexico City and San Miguel de Allende

August 12, 2025

For the first time, two of Mexico’s most celebrated luxury hotels — JW Marriott Mexico City Polanco (above) and Hotel Matilda — are joining forces to create a seamless escape that moves effortlessly between the cosmopolitan pulse of the capital and the artistic allure of San Miguel de Allende.

Launching May 2025, the From Polanco to San Miguel package invites travellers to experience the country’s cultural spectrum without sacrificing style or comfort. In one trip, guests can savour Mexico City’s high-energy sophistication and San Miguel’s intimate, art-filled streets — all wrapped in the five-star service of two properties that are, until now, rarely mentioned in the same itinerary.

“Mexico City delivers cosmopolitan energy and style, while San Miguel de Allende offers a more intimate, artistic rhythm,” says Bruce James, General Manager of Hotel Matilda. “This package lets guests immerse themselves in both.”

The journey begins with two weekend nights at JW Marriott Mexico City Polanco, a freshly renovated 314-room address at the intersection of glamour and green space. Steps from the boutiques of Presidente Masaryk Avenue and across from Chapultepec Park, the hotel’s offerings include three new restaurants (Sendero, Corsi, and Archiebald), cocktail lounges ranging from sleek wine bar Estación 29 to a traditional mezcal tahona, a panoramic outdoor pool, and a spa devoted to vegan, organic treatments.

From there, a private luxury SUV whisks guests to San Miguel de Allende in under three and a half hours. Here, Hotel Matilda — a Design Hotels member and long-time cultural tastemaker — blends modern design with colonial architecture. Guests might dine at the acclaimed Moxi restaurant, sip cocktails at the intimate Monkey Bar, unwind in the serene garden spa, or wander hallways that double as contemporary art galleries.

In Mexico City, days can be filled with world-class museums such as Museo Jumex and the National Museum of Anthropology, or detours into bohemian Coyoacán for the Frida Kahlo Museum and bustling markets. In San Miguel, the cobblestoned streets lead to landmarks like the pink spires of the Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel, the Fábrica La Aurora art complex, and rooftop wine tastings with views over the city.

The package includes breakfast at both hotels, private transfer between cities, and cultural experiences curated by Hotel Matilda — and for Marriott Bonvoy members, the added perk of earning points.

“This trip is much more than a transfer between cities,” says Daniela González, Director of Sales and Marketing for JW Marriott Mexico City Polanco. “It is an opportunity to connect with the rich culture of Mexico while enjoying the luxury, comfort, and impeccable service that characterizes these great hospitality brands.”

With its blend of urban sparkle, artistic spirit, and door-to-door ease, this new collaboration offers a fresh way to see — and savour — Mexico’s diverse charms.

A luxury, adults-only wellness retreat is opening soon in Loreto, Mexico

July 2, 2025

Danzante Bay, a 741-acre master-planned resort community set amidst the Sierra de la Giganta mountains and the Sea of Cortez, announces its latest development: Mailena.

Set to open in late summer 2026, Mailena will be Loreto’s first wellness resort and adults-only property, catering to couples, groups and solo travelers alike. The debut of the luxury beachfront resort will usher in a new era of elevated, experiential offerings for the growing community tucked away along the eastern coast of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula.

The boutique oceanfront hotel will feature 96 upscale guest rooms including a blend of suites, casitas and one-bedroom penthouses, each carefully crafted to reflect the resort’s playful spirit and immerse guests in nature. Additional resort amenities will include an oceanfront pool, a panoramic restaurant and bar overlooking the ocean, a beach club and access to the award-winning TPC Danzante Bay, an 18-hole golf course from Rees Jones boasting some of the most striking holes in golf. Holistic dining will also be a highlight, with several on-site culinary experiences focused on whole ingredients, local produce and functional nutrition designed to support vitality and individual wellness goals. Standout activities include cultural city tours, hiking, snorkeling and exploring the “Aquarium of the World,” ATV desert tours, sport fishing excursions and surfing. The charming city of Loreto is rich with culture, beautiful colonial architecture and history dating back to 1697.

A sustainable escape

Designed by renowned Mexico-based firm Broissin, the architectural concept is rooted in sustainability, drawing inspiration from the native landscape, vegetation and climate. An earth toned color palette, locally sourced stone and soft wood accents will be used throughout to create a calming, organic aesthetic.

The property will be composed of three interconnected yet distinct zones, each anchored by a bespoke architectural focal point. The lobby, centered around a living olive tree, symbolizes resilience and longevity. The Wellness Center, located at the heart of the resort, will feature a cenote-style water element designed for introspection and renewal.

Lastly, the signature restaurant, set against panoramic ocean views, will feature an indoor/outdoor pool that blurs the line between land and sea.

At the heart of Mailena will be the Wellness and Longevity Center, an immersive space designed for rejuvenation. Guests will have access to science-based, personalized wellness programs and an impressive array of amenities including a central pool, sensory deprivation tanks, steam rooms, saunas, snow room for contrast therapy, biohacking technology suites and more. Specialty treatments, such as shiatsu massages in the pool, offer the soothing, therapeutic embrace of warm water. Guests will find additional spaces dedicated to health and fitness spread across the property, including a state-of-the-art gym and yoga and Pilates studios.

Perched on a secluded beach within the Loreto Bay National Marine Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, Danzante Bay is also home to the award-winning Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto hotel and TPC Danzante Bay, the only TPC-designated course in Mexico. For guests seeking a longer-term, authentic Mexican lifestyle intertwined with nature and luxury, homes are available for sale starting at $1.4 million and lots are available from $650,000. In addition, residents of Mantarraya, an exclusive community of 43 luxury condos and penthouses, will have access to Mailena’s wellness facilities, dining and amenities.

Loreto is the only Pueblo Mágico—a special designation granted by the Mexican government to towns recognized for their cultural and natural richness—with an international airport. The destination continues to draw discerning travelers seeking unspoiled beauty, world-class golf, laid-back energy and abundant wildlife. Direct flights are available from San Francisco, Los Angeles, Tijuana, Phoenix, Dallas and Calgary.

Reservations are expected to open in March 2026. For more information on Mailena, please visit http://mailenawellnessresort.com/ and @mailena_wellness_resort.

72 hours in Baja California Sur

November 25, 2024

Christine Roberti heads to the northwest Mexican state of Baja California Sur, stopping in the tiny coastal town of Todos Santos and the state capital of La Paz for grey whale watching, taco tasting and a whole lot of lazing around.

At night, I burrowed into the folds of the duvet on my king-sized bed and listened to the roar of the surf as it barrelled to shore across the Pacific. I left the sliding glass door to the terrace open, where a salty breeze made the gauzy curtains dance.

Tiny stars, my only night light, blinked through the inky black sky over the ocean, and when morning came, tangerine sunlight snuck across my pillow.

I resisted the urge to tear the covers off and slug back a cup of dark roast, like I do most days once 6:30 a.m. comes. In Baja California, as I learned over the course of three days, life is meant to be savoured slowly.

Todos Santos, Baja California Sur, Mexico, is a sleepy town tucked away on the Pacific coast of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula. An hour’s drive from Los Cabos’ touristy Cabo San Lucas district, people come to Todos Santos to appreciate local art, enjoy top-notch gastronomy, surf the world-class breaks, and revel in gorgeous landscapes that include the overarching backdrop of the Sierra de la Laguna mountain range. In La Paz, visitors come for wild encounters with grey whales and whale sharks, beautiful beaches and vibrant nightlife.

DAY ONE

Start the day early, with a walking tour of Todos Santos, a designated pueblos magicos. Pueblos magicos (magic towns) are a designation provided by the Mexican government, awarded to select destinations for their exemplary showcase of authentic Mexican culture, be it through stunning architectural wonders, historical significance or natural beauty.

Todos Santos is one of roughly 180 pueblos magicos in Mexico, and it’s easy to see why.

Founded by missionaries in 1724, Todos Santos is a quiet town with a vibrant personality. It’s where artists, dreamers and surfers collide; rainbow-coloured bunting is strung through the streets, music lulls passerby from tiny shops selling everything from hand-fired ceramics to oil paintings, and a handful of restaurants promote fresh-caught seafood specialties on sidewalk menus. Stop for lunch at Oystera, a chic oyster bar with a phenomenal outdoor dining terrace, and arguably some of the best ceviche and limey margaritas in Southern Baja.

DAY TWO

Drive an hour north and explore the capital city of La Paz for the day. Home to approximately a quarter of a million residents, there’s no shortage of things to do downtown, which is flanked by a bustling waterfront boardwalk known as the Malecón. The perfect meeting point, the Malecón is lined with bars, fusion restaurants and contemporary art sculptures.

Strolling through La Paz, you’re bound to get hungry. Embarking on your own taco tour is a great way to see the town’s culinary variety—and excellence. At Palapa Hermanos Gonzalez, you can’t go wrong with an authentic Baja fish taco—two meaty hunks of perfectly golden, battered fish are topped with chopped red onion, tomato and cilantro and drizzled with mayonnaise. Just down the street at Claro Fish Jr.’s, you can order anything from deep-fried coconut shrimp tacos to stingray.

DAY THREE

Grey whale migration peaks in Baja from January through March, but you can still count on seeing a pod from late December through April. Puerto Chale, a two-hour drive from La Paz, is a quiet fishing community on the Pacific Ocean, and the closest spot to the city for spotting grey whales. Curious and friendly, grey whales have been known to swim at surface-level directly beneath the tour boats, making for a breathtaking encounter.

Along the way, you can also spot sleeping sea lions, playful sea otters and migratory birds. For another unique aquatic experience, snorkel with whale sharks in the El Mogote peninsula, which is 15 minutes from the Bay of La Paz. Despite their size (some reach 60 ft. in length), these gentle, toothless giants are actually quite timid, and neither a shark, nor a whale—they’re actually a fish!
