Location
The resort is on the southern stretch of Banderas Bay on Mexico’s Pacific coast, on the city side of Puerto Vallarta. Puerto Vallarta International Airport is around 15 minutes by car, with the Zona Romántica, the city’s main LGBTQ+ neighborhood and beach club hub, about 10 minutes south. The Malecón boardwalk, downtown art galleries, and the Río Cuale are all within an easy drive.
Mexico
The Riviera Maya runs south from Cancun along the Caribbean coast, with the resort strip of Playa del Carmen and Tulum giving way to jungle and reef as you move away from the main tourist corridor.

Los Cabos: Adventure Beyond the Resort
Tailor-made HolidayBeneath its resort reputation, Los Cabos holds some of the richest marine life in Mexico and a desert most visitors never see. Los Cabos has built its reputation on resort pools and beachfront cocktails, but the water and the desert surrounding the peninsula hold a different kind of trip entirely, one that queer and trans-focused dive operators in the region have already been running for years.

This seven-day retreat is built around a Riviera Maya resort with one of the region's more distinctive wellness programmes, anchored by a genuine commitment to Mayan healing tradition rather than a generic spa menu borrowed from elsewhere.
