What you should know about The Westin Resort & Spa, Puerto Vallarta.
The Westin Resort & Spa, Puerto Vallarta sits on a stretch of coastline shaped by fertile estuaries, ancient ecological systems, and the early modern development that turned Marina Vallarta into one of Puerto Vallarta's most thoughtfully planned districts.
Before the marina existed, this entire area was dense mangrove forest, a thriving ecosystem of tidal pools, nesting birds, freshwater channels, and lagoons fed by the Ameca River. Indigenous groups used the region for fishing, gathering, and navigation, relying on its calm waters long before the city grew into a major destination. In the mid-to-late 20th century, when Marina Vallarta was planned, developers preserved much of the natural rhythm of the land by protecting green spaces, maintaining water routes, and designing the resort area with open land, palms, and sustainable landscaping. The iconic “leaning palms” found throughout the property were intentionally planted at diagonal angles decades ago to create sculptural silhouettes and hurricane-resistant growth, a botanical feature that remains one of the resort's signature visual elements. The Westin brand's emphasis on wellness inspired additional design choices: open-air circulation to reduce energy use, gardens meant to evoke natural calm, and architecture aligned to maximize light and airflow. The coastline's gentle slope and soft waves reflect the protective geography of Banderas Bay, formed by volcanic activity millions of years ago and still considered one of the deepest, most biodiverse bays in the world. Most guests feel the serenity immediately without realizing they're staying in a place shaped by natural estuaries, thoughtful urban planning, and a deep botanical legacy unique to this part of Puerto Vallarta.
