Situated on Banderas Bay in Puerto Vallarta, the family-friendly, all-inclusive Velas Vallarta offers a memorable getaway for guests of all ages. It spans 10 acres and boasts glistening ocean views, spacious suites and gourmet cuisine to suit every palate.

This relaxing environment makes it an ideal time for vacationers to try something new, and the resort recently announced a new offering for its youngest guests: “My First Golf Experience.” The program introduces children to the fundamentals of golf in a fun, safe atmosphere.

“Vacation naturally creates a more relaxed and open mindset, which makes it an ideal time for children to try something new,” said of Luis Angarita, general manager of Velas Vallarta. “Without the structure of school or daily routines, kids are more willing to explore new interests. At Velas Vallarta, the resort’s immersive environment, set along the beaches of Banderas Bay with a strong emphasis on culture, creativity, and hands-on experiences naturally encourages curiosity, making it easier for kids to step outside their comfort zones.”

The program is designed as a one-hour introductory clinic guided by an instructor at the nearby Marina Vallarta Golf Course. Visitors can opt for one standalone session or participate in multiple sessions throughout their stay to continue developing skills.

“My First Golf Experience” is $180 per child ages six to 15 years old. It includes the one-hour golf clinic, along with access to the Golf Course at Marina Vallarta, all the necessary golf equipment and a welcome kit with a backpack, t-shirt and hat.

“Children will learn basic techniques such as grip, stance, and swing, along with coordination and balance,” Angarita said. “Just as importantly, the experience emphasizes sportsmanship and having fun, ensuring that every child leaves feeling encouraged and accomplished, regardless of skill level.”

Angarita said the resort has been known for its family-friendly offerings and that this program is a natural fit. “In addition to the golf experience, children can enjoy the Kids’ Club, which features supervised activities like arts and crafts, mini mariachi sessions, sandcastle building, and more,” he said.

Velas Vallarta also has cultural experiences and hands-on activities that allow the whole family to learn about and engage with local traditions, adding to the overall vacation experience.
