RIVIERA NAYARIT, Mexico
Fairmont Hotels & Resorts and Mota-Engil Tourismo announced the development of a new 250-room luxury hotel and additional private residences along the Riviera Nayarit in Mexico.
The new Fairmont Costa Canuva is slated to open in late 2018 and will reside within the new master-planned seaside community, “Costa Canuva,” on the Riviera Nayarit. The Costa Canuva development is set along miles of pristine beach, just north of Punta Mita and 40 miles north of Puerto Vallarta.
Costa Canuva, with more than 4.3 miles of shoreline and 630 acres of beach, estuary and mountains, will offer five hotels, including the Fairmont, and will be ideal for all types of travelers. It will also present residential ownership opportunities within the beachfront village with 2,500 residential units.
The development will also have an exclusive golf course designed by Greg Norman and Lorena Ochoa, with this being the first course created by the Mexican golfing champion. Two of the holes will present spectacular sea views to guarantee an unforgettable playing experience.
Furthermore, visitors can enjoy paddle surfing, more than 12 miles of cycling tracks designed by the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA), and a canopy park including ziplines.
"We are delighted to be at the forefront of establishing the new Costa Canuva community in this thriving and beautiful region," said Kevin Frid, president, Americas for Fairmont's parent company, FRHI Hotels & Resorts. "From the Riviera Maya to the Riviera Nayarit, we are positioning Fairmont to deliver our unique brand of luxury and genuine hospitality at Mexico's most sought-after destinations."
The Riviera Nayarit stretches for 51,800 hectares along the Pacific Ocean and offers a coastal lifestyle similar to that of California, while sharing the same latitude as Hawaii.
Fairmont Costa Canuva will join its sister property, Fairmont Mayakoba located in the Riviera Maya region, and expand Fairmont's growing portfolio of luxury vacation resorts around the world.
The development of the Costa Canuva village represents a $1.8 billion USD investment in the region's economy and is expected to create 6,000 direct jobs and 18,000 thousand indirect jobs locally.
Fairmont Costa Canuva will feature 250 guest rooms and suites, including 40 Fairmont Gold rooms and Fairmont branded residences. It will also include more than 22,000 square feet of meeting and event space, six restaurants and bars, an expansive outdoor swimming pool and the Willow Stream Spa.
Developers expect that Fairmont Costa Canuva will benefit from its close proximity to the Sanctuary Convention Center, making it an ideal venue for corporate groups, conferences and social events.
