When most travelers think of Mexico, they imagine sandy beaches and all-inclusive resorts, or maybe the world-class restaurants in its populous capital city.

Not a lot of people think about wine.

But they really should, because the Baja peninsula's Valle de Guadalupe wine region makes great bottles across a diverse range of varietals. It's worth a visit.

And now you've got a new reason to go: Banyan Tree Veya.

The just-opened luxury resort is located just 90 minutes from the U.S. border, and its 30 villas are nestled across 16 rolling acres of wine country vineyards. Each villa features a private plunge pool, wine bar, luxe bathroom, fireplace and terrace, with panoramic views of the natural vistas. Furniture has been crafted from local Tzalam wood sourced from the tropical forests of Mexico’s southern region.

Banyan Tree properties are known for their Asian-inspired wellness rituals, and that's the case here, too. Veya Spa has four treatment rooms, two pools, a hydrotherapy room, a fitness studio, a movement studio, and the White Cave, which is used for meditation and sound healing. There's also a traditional temazcal (heat lodge), offering ceremonial, expert-led cleanses for the mind and body that draw on deep breathing exercises, meditative chants and drumming.

When it's time to eat, guests can choose from seven culinary concepts, including traditional and modern Mexican and a fine-dining Asian restaurant inspired by Japanese Kaiseki cuisine. The resort also has a private winery on site called Pictograma that will soon debut its own collection of wines dedicated solely to the grenache grape. 

You grab the passports, we'll start looking at flights.
