ABOUT COSTA CAREYES

Costa Careyes was founded in 1968 by Gian Franco Brignone, an innovative artist, architect and entrepreneur from Torino, Italy whose dream was to create an ideal resort defined by bold washes of vibrant color. Careyes is a community located on the Costa Alegre ("happy coast"). Costa Alegre is a 232 km stretch that is one of Mexico's most spectacular coastal areas connecting tropical forests with a series of dramatic cliff-lined coves. Tiny outpost towns line the route, while dirt roads trail down to a succession of magical coves with pristine beaches. Considered one of Mexico's greatest undiscovered treasures, this area is becoming a favored hideaway for travelers.
Careyes means "tortoise shell", being considered one of the most favorite nesting area for many species of sea turtles and tourists in Mexico. Costa Careyes is part of Costa Alegre and the State of Jalisco, probably one of the most beautiful areas of Mexico.

CLIMATE

Careyes is blessed with a micro-climate unique to the Pacific coast of Mexico. From December to May, it experiences sunny, moderate days with low humidity and a constant light sea breeze. Evenings might be cool enough to justify lighting a fire but purely for ambiance, for heating is never needed. The other half of the year is greener, more lush, hotter, and more humid but fascinating for the change in wild life. The evening storms and skies can be spectacular. The ocean is warm year round.

ACTIVITIES

Careyes is beautiful all year. Access to fishing boats, horseback riding, two Polo Fields in Costa Careyes Polo Club, hiking, snorkeling, jogging, surfing, scuba and golfing are just a few of the many activities you may choose in Careyes.
