In the ever-evolving landscape of ultra-luxury travel, Grand Velas Riviera Maya has once again set a new benchmark for the next generation of explorers. Moving far beyond the traditional concept of a “game room,” the resort has unveiled its newly transformed Teens’ Club—a sophisticated, two-story enclave designed specifically for junior guests (ages 12+) who demand a seamless blend of cutting-edge technology and authentic cultural enrichment.
A vertical journey of entertainment
The architecture of the Teens’ Club divides the experience into two distinct atmospheres, catering to every mood of the emerging traveler:
- The interactive lounge (main floor):
Designed for social connectivity, this level features a Social Media Studio equipped with professional ring lights —the perfect stage for content creators to capture their Riviera Maya aesthetic. Alongside high-speed PlayStation 5 pods, the Teens’ Club offers a high-energy disco area and a sleek snack bar, creating a vibrant hub for evening socialization. - The high-performance loft (second floor):
For those with a competitive edge, the upper level of the Teens’ Club houses a state-of-the-art golf simulator, offering a professional-grade experience for both boys and girls. The excitement continues with a massive arcade floor featuring everything from Fortnite and Pac-Man to basketball hoops, while a 22-seat VIP Cinema offers a secluded space for daily screenings in a premier theater setting.
Where high-tech meets high-touch
What truly distinguishes the Teens’ Club is its commitment to cultural immersion. The space serves as a bridge to Mexico’s rich heritage through a curated calendar of interactive workshops:
- Artisan traditions: From the intricate patience of Huichol beading to masterclasses in crafting the perfect guacamole.
- Modern craft: DIY phone keychain studios, custom tote bag decoration, and Mexican bracelet weaving.
- Youthful wellness: The Teens’ Club now features a dedicated skincare and facial-ritual program, alongside water bottle painting workshops, blending self-care with creative expression.
Seasonal spotlight: The mocktail lab
Launching this Spring, the Teens’ Club introduces the Mocktail Lab, a sophisticated non-alcoholic mixology experience. This “laboratory” allows youngs to step behind the bar and experiment with complex flavors, vibrant colors, and avant-garde presentations. These inaugural sessions are designed to spark connection and teamwork in a fresh, stylish atmosphere that mirrors the resort’s world-class culinary philosophy.
A legacy for the next generation
Operating daily from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., the renewed Teens’ Club at Grand Velas Riviera Maya is a testament to the vision of providing a space that is as refined and exclusive as the guests it hosts. It is not just a place to stay busy; it is a destination where next-gen explorers can find their own version of paradise.
