about careyes
Over 50 decades since Gianfranco first laid eyes on the Costalegre, his legacy thrives in the territory he created. In the majestic jungle still inaccessible due to its rivers, extensive jungles, and lack of roads, Gianfranco imagined a one-of-a-kind territory where nature is sacred, art is exalted, and people live with unbridled freedom.
Gianfranco’s passion was the catalyst for the tangible manifestation of Careyes in all its vibrant glory. Now, Careyes is the unprecedented destination he dreamed of on that famed flight over the Pacific coast and a safe haven for all who enter it, from the carey turtle to the colorful humans.

the legacy
"People come here to connect, whether that be with nature or the growing community of visionaries transforming this coastal stretch into one of Mexico’s most fascinating art havens".
"This is precisely the kind of place you have to see to believe. Careyes is equal parts private retreat, luxury resort, architectural marvel, and creative community".
"This abundance of raw, wild nature is not a coincidence. Unlike other destinations in Mexico, Costalegre has remained protected and purposefully low-impact for decades".
