Riviera Nayarit – VidantaWorld Nuevo Vallarta on Mexico’s Pacific coast is launching a collection of high-end experiences, starting this December. The resort is set to redefine luxury entertainment with a new theme park, a world-class aquatic show, and exclusive accommodations.
World-class entertainment begins on December 16, 2025, with the debut of Cirque du Soleil’s LÚDO. This spectacular water-themed production, housed in a custom-built, $200-million theater, is the company’s first aquatic show since the iconic O in Las Vegas. The 696-seat venue features a 360-degree aquatic stage, merging world-renowned acrobatics and immersive storytelling with a fine dining program.
Complementing this, the VidantaWorld Concert Series will feature rotating headline entertainment throughout the year. Music legend Lionel Richie launches the series on December 11, 2025, and international superstar Michael Bublé headlines on May 21, 2026.
The Arrival of Luxury Theme Park
The resort will introduce the world’s first luxury theme park, BON Luxury Theme Park, opening in Fall 2026. Designed for all generations, BON features 23 attractions, 25 restaurants, and 16 shops across five themed lands. Its attractions are being executed by leading industry visionaries to rival the best parks globally, highlighted by the Tecuani Beast double-launch roller coaster.
Access to BON during its first year (through 2027) will be limited exclusively to guests staying in the resort’s approximately 3,000 upscale rooms and suites. This limited capacity is a key feature of the luxury model, designed to ensure short wait times and highly attentive service before opening to the general public.
BON Hotel Welcomes First Guests
Leading the way is the BON Hotel, a boutique, all-suite luxury property opening on December 1, 2025. Many suites offer special views directly into the future BON Luxury Theme Park. The hotel features separate lounges and kitchenettes, ideal for family living, and provides quick access to resort dining and entertainment.
Set on 2,500 acres between the Pacific coast and Sierra Madre mountains, VidantaWorld Nuevo Vallarta includes championship golf—such as the Norman-designed course that hosts the PGA TOUR Mexico Open—along with spas, tennis and pickleball courts, elevated walkways through tropical landscapes, and a private gondola system offering panoramic views across the resort.
Together, the introduction of LÚDO, the BON Hotel, and BON Luxury Theme Park positions VidantaWorld as a new hub for high-end entertainment, hospitality, and themed attractions on Mexico’s Pacific coast.
