Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta

The Resort & Setting

Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta is part of the Vidanta group, one of Mexico's larger resort operators, and this property is marketed under the Grand Luxxe name within the Nuevo Vallarta complex. Google's own summary describes it as an upscale resort with restaurants, outdoor pools and direct beach access, alongside on-site golf courses and spas. The address places it on Boulevard Riviera Nayarit in Las Jarretaderas, right on the border between Jalisco and Nayarit states, an area built up specifically around large-scale beach resorts.

The Area and Things to Do

Las Jarretaderas and the wider Nuevo Vallarta zone sit just north of Puerto Vallarta, across the state line in Nayarit, and the whole coastline here is known collectively as the Riviera Nayarit. The beaches along this stretch are wide, flat and good for swimming, which is part of why so many resort brands clustered here. Beyond the resort grounds, Puerto Vallarta's historic centre (the Malecón, the cathedral, the old-town restaurant scene) is a short taxi or bus ride away, and the Marina Vallarta area has its own shops and marina-front dining. Golfers have several courses to choose from in the immediate area, and boat trips out into Banderas Bay for whale watching (in season) or snorkelling are commonly booked from the Nuevo Vallarta marina.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Owners who no longer use their week at Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta can list it for sale or for rent on BidMyTimeshare.com as a private, owner-to-owner transaction. You set your own asking price, your listing goes live for buyers and renters to find, and interested parties contact you directly through the platform — there's no commission on the sale, only a one-time listing fee to post the ad.

Before you price a week here, it's worth understanding how Vidanta handles resale. Vidanta does not publish a standard resale or transfer fee — owners who have been through the process report that the fee for transferring to someone outside the family depends entirely on when the original contract was signed. Reports from pre-2002 contracts describe a fee equal to around one year's maintenance charge, while contracts dated from 2013 have been reported at up to ten times the annual fee (TUG forum, 2019). There's no published right of first refusal for Vidanta, and no confirmed typical transfer timeline, so both buyers and sellers should ask Vidanta directly for current figures before agreeing on a price.

A separate point worth flagging to any buyer: owners report that newer 100-year certificates can only be transferred to immediate family or heirs, not sold on to an unrelated buyer, and that any add-on benefits attached to the original contract end once the week is sold (TUG forum, 2022). If you're selling, confirm which type of contract you hold before listing. If you're buying, ask the seller for the contract date and certificate type up front — it affects what you're actually able to acquire.

Practical Notes

Anyone listing or buying here should request the current annual maintenance fee directly from Vidanta, since figures aren't published and change over time. The same applies to the transfer fee itself — get written confirmation before any money changes hands. We have no verified information linking this resort to any outside exchange network, so don't assume exchange rights are included unless the seller can show them in the contract.

Who Rents a Week Here

Renters drawn to Nuevo Vallarta are typically after a beach-first stay with on-site dining and pools rather than having to venture out for every meal, plus easy access to golf and spa facilities without leaving the resort grounds. Families and groups looking at Puerto Vallarta's broader attractions as day trips, while still returning to a quieter, resort-style base, are a common fit for this location.
