The new Flamingos Resort and Spa plays host to the first ever Wellness Week here in Puerto Vallarta, scheduled to take place September twenty-second through the twenty-ninth.

What a great way to spend a vacation, focusing on health and well being rather then excessive partying and feasting as many vacationers do. Wellness Week will be a free event that will focus on healthy living and healthy life choices; including everyday exercise courses on Pilates, yoga, weight lifting and healthy Nutrition seminars.

A couple of the Highlights being guest  professionals speaking on how to maintain a healthy heart and providing information on cutting edge cosmetic surgery and dental Work. Lydia Safarti, owner of The Repêchage® Spa de Beauté New York City, will be the key speaker on Beauty healthcare with answers on everything from the sun and skin care to healthy skin from the inside out.

Another great feature of Wellness Week will be the introduction guide to healthy travel, how to get top quality health care everywhere in the world.

With more and more people becoming aware of a healthier way of living, moving to Puerto Vallarta is part of that lifestyle change for many. Whether it is the heat, the fresh ocean air or a more relaxed lifestyle, Vallarta has attracted not only vacation tourists but healthy vacation tourists interested in a better way of living.

This sounds like a fantastic week filled with tons of information on healthy living. I expect it will be a big hit here in Puerto Vallarta and will be continued for years to come, what a great idea!
