Top 10 Convention Facilities In The Riviera Nayarit

The Riviera Nayarit is a destination made for events, which is why the destination’s hotels offer an ample variety of convention facilities for the meetings industry, or MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions). Whether you need the theater, auditorium, banquet or schoolroom format, here is a list of the largest facilities available for events in the Riviera Nayarit:

In Punta Mita, the most exclusive development in Mexico, there are two Five Diamond hotels that together offer over 1,000 m² (10,764 ft²): the Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita with 643 m² (6,921 ft²) divided between the Toki and Takua rooms; and The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort with 478 m² (5,145 ft²) of available space, with their largest room being the Astor.

The Three-Diamond Villa del Palmar Flamingos and the Four-Diamond Villa La Estancia, both from the Villa Group chain, have 510 m² (5,490 ft²) available in their Grand Ballroom. 

This Four-Diamond development located in Nuevo Vallarta has the Dreams Ballroom available for conferences and meetings, with 618 m² (6,652 ft²) of space.

Located in the Litibú development, this Spanish five-star resort opened in Mexico’s Pacific Treasure in 2013. It offers 655 m² (7,050 ft²) for meetings in its Riviera Nayarit Ballroom, which hosted the TMS Family Travel Summit in 2015.
