Santuario is a magnificent new space in Nuevo Vallarta, which serves as a lounge and bar. While the scale is tremendous, Santuario remains intimate and seamlessly meshes with the natural environment due to open air pathways and a hollow center where the sun and stars can shine though. 

As construction began and the rendering took life, it became obvious that Santuario was so unique and exceptional that it would have to be used as an entertainment space in addition to its original plan of being a welcome center. 

What can you expect when you go? Daytime. Mornings at Santuario are flooded with light and are an ideal time to sit for fresh coffee, fruit and pastries. The sense of openness and light gives it a great energy and really makes you happy. Throughout the day, the bar is open and the kitchen serves light snacks and sandwiches. Nighttime. Evenings at Santuario are filled with exotic cockails, interesting performances and excellent entertainment in a lively atmosphere. The entertainment schedule is not set and varies every night. There are two set events every day: 5:30 pm is Cultural Session and 7:30 is Ballroom Hour. During Cultural Session, guests can learn more about Mexican culture and traditions in a fun, entertaining way and Ballroom Hour is a time when guests can join our dancing duet from Ukraine for lessons under the stars. Nightly highlights at Santuario include tributes to famous singers like Tina Turner and Diana Ross, live concerts, a sand artist from Russia, a dancing duet from the Ukraine, DJ sessions and more. 

What have people been saying? "One word: unbelievable. Just when you think it can't get any better, it does!", "It's great! It's a really great addition. We now have a central place to congregate!", "It's amazing! We couldn't be happier to have an entertainment center within the property. Tina Turner was fantastic!" and "I'm speechless. It's moments like this that make me so happy to be a member!".

When can you go? All day long! It is open from 7:00 am through 1:00 am. Every day of the week.

Where is it? Santuario is located across from The Grand Bliss. It is a collossal structure with palapa roofs - you't can't miss it!

The Inspiration: "From the moment they started building Santuario, I was drawn to the concept of a central area where all members could come together and be social. While developing the concept for entertainment, we found that guests want to be engaged, entertained and educated. With this in mind, we created a series of events and acts that all our members would enjoy. Whether you want to actively participate or just enjoy while sipping cocktails, we offer something new every hour. Now our property in Nuevo Vallarta really has it all - Enjoy!", Said El Kadri, Director of Entertainment.
