A new luxury theme park is coming to Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico, expected to offer fun activities for both children and adults alike.
Called BON, or Beauty of Nature, the theme park belongs to entertainment complex VidantaWorld Nuevo Vallarta, and will feature three distinct worlds with theme park staples like family-friendly games, entertainment and rides. BON will be designed with a more upscale ethos, surrounding park-goers in tropical foliage and artificial ruins and providing several gourmet dining options.
"In fall 2026, VidantaWorld’s BON Luxury Theme Park will open as a destination that stands alongside the world’s most iconic entertainment experiences – while offering something entirely new: immersive worlds, signature attractions, and refined culinary spaces delivered with luxe," Michel Beuffe, Chief Operations Officer for VidantaWorld, told Forbes.
According to Forbes, the theme park is expected to open in the fall of 2026, with an on-site concert venue christening expected on December 11 with a performance featuring Lionel Richie.
First, though, is the opening of a $200-million custom theater featuring a 360-degree aquatic stage that will host a Cirque du Soleil dinner show. Opening next month, the 696-seat theater will offer LUDÕ, a water-themed performance that defies gravity and logic.

The BON Hotel also opens soon—guests of the BON Hotel or other on-site properties will be the exclusive guests of the theme park through 2027.
BON will offer 23 different attractions, including the Tecuani Beach, the only double-launch roller coaster in Latin America and the Tempest Towers, a drop tower ride, along with 16 different shops and boutiques and 25 restaurants, all inspired by native flora and fauna and Aztec mythology.
Former Disney and Universal Studios designers had their hand in developing BON. Centered near the entrance to the park, like in many parks, is a water feature designed to resemble a crater, where fountains and water-and-fire shows will take place each day.
