Gilead Sciences Presidents Club 2023: A Week of Unforgettable Experiences at Four Seasons Resort, Punta Mita

From May 6th to 11th, the prestigious Gilead Sciences Presidents Club 2023 took place at the breathtaking Four Seasons Resort in Punta Mita. Hosting a group of 220 attendees, the event seamlessly combined relaxation, cultural immersion, and celebration, all framed by the stunning Mexican landscape.

Room Drops and Gifting

Our commitment to creating memorable experiences began the moment guests arrived. Each room was adorned with striped beach bags, meticulously crafted by the talented artisans at the Puerto Vallarta Sewing School. This incredible production cooperative supports the professional reconversion of disadvantaged individuals through sewing courses, making every bag not just a beautiful accessory, but a symbol of community support and empowerment.

In addition to the beach bags, attendees were delighted with a custom hand-painted Talavera set from Puebla, consisting of a salt shaker, one tray, and two tequila shots. These exquisite pieces brought a touch of Mexican artistry into their stay, providing both functional and decorative keepsakes.

Boutique and Custom Credit Store Cards

Adding to the convenience and luxury of the event, each guest received a custom-designed credit store card. This allowed them to shop at our boutique located within the resort, offering an array of local and high-end products. The personalized credit cards were a hit, making it easy for attendees to take home a piece of their unforgettable experience.

Alebrije Painting Workshop

One of the highlights of the week was the Alebrije painting workshop. This interactive session provided a deep dive into the history and tradition of these colorful Mexican folk art sculptures. Led by a local expert, attendees had the opportunity to unleash their creativity while learning about the cultural significance of Alebrijes. It was a fantastic way to engage with Mexican heritage in a hands-on manner.

Artistic Signage and Live Mural Painting

Throughout the resort, guests were guided by hand-painted directional signage created by a talented artist from Bucerías, Nayarit. These beautifully crafted signs not only served a practical purpose but also added an artistic flair to the event's aesthetic.

The crowning jewel of the event was the live mural painting. Over three days, during the welcome reception at Tuturi Pool, the Alebrije workshop, and the final dinner at Cuevas Beach, an extraordinary artist captivated attendees with the creation of a stunning mural. This 2.5m x 4m masterpiece, inspired by the iconic Frida Kahlo and local wildlife, was painted in real-time on a false wall, providing a mesmerizing visual journey that evolved throughout the event.
