THE AREA
Costa Careyes is an exclusive luxury private estate resort comprised of Ocean Castles, Private Villas, Casitas and Bungalows. It is located in Costalegre on the Mexican Pacific beaches of the south coast of Jalisco, Mexico. Founded by Gian Franco Brignone in 1968, this continuously family owned and operated unique private beach resort combines the sensuality of the Mediterranean with a unique architecture and the hospitableness of Mexico. The community in Costa Careyes is equally as important, beautiful and colorful as the place itself. Eccentric, elegant, educated, multi lingual and generally fascinating, they are all characters. Likewise, are the guests who are compelled to visit this most magical land. Careyes’ specific combination of natural beauty, architecture and sybaritic lifestyle, make it one of the world's most coveted destinations among the cognoscenti.
Not only a land of natural wonders, Costa Careyes, Mexico is also a place of spiritual ones, as well. Cosmic art installations of almost astronomical size play equally with the land and light. Legend has it the pristine stretch of beach on which they sit, are where the gods once gathered and creation began. If the myth of Playa Teopa were not other worldly enough, Costa Careyes, Mexico is also the resting place of its own meteor.
ACCOMODATION
We will be staying at a private villa 15 minutes drive from Careyes. This villa has 2 pools, rooftop dining area, and a private beach where we will enjoy beach days, picnics, bonfires, and boat trips.
This villa is a paradise like no other. It has the most beautiful sand beaches, and turquoise waters, natural jungle and the most spectacular views of the Mexican Pacific. It’s a perfect location for us to have a true retreat experience but close enough to Careyes so as to experience the wonders of all parts of the area.
Cuisine
We will have private chefs making us breakfast and lunch every day in addition to a rooftop dinner and bbq on our private beach. We will also be dining at a few of the restaurants in Careyes including a special Chinese New Year celebratory dinner the last evening. All dietary restrictions can be accommodated.
