Careyes

Careyes, located on the remarkable Costalegre in the state of Jalisco, is one of Mexico's most exclusive and architecturally fascinating destinations. Founded in the 1960s by Gian Franco Brignone, the resort blends Mediterranean elegance with Mexican craftsmanship. The vibrantly colored villas and 'casitas' perched spectacularly on cliffs offer unparalleled Pacific views and have become a symbol of a luxury lifestyle. Playa Rosa is the social heart of Careyes. This beach enchants with its fine sand and calm, turquoise waters, handy for swimming and relaxation. The beachfront restaurant of the same name is world-famous for its laid-back atmosphere and excellent cuisine. Beyond beach life, Careyes has polo fields, horseback riding, and art festivals, attracting a sophisticated international clientele. Sustainability is paramount here; much of the region is a designated nature reserve to protect local flora and fauna, especially sea turtles. Access is via Manzanillo or Puerto Vallarta airports, followed by a scenic coastal drive. Careyes is no ordinary resort but a private paradise for those seeking privacy, art, and untouched nature in a high-end setting.
