This afternoon was the official launch of Nahui, a new high end luxury development at Playa Destiladeras in Riviera Nayarit. A selection of Real Estate agents in Puerto Vallarta were invited to attend the presentation of this interesting new development (and enjoy a great lunch!). The sand, waves and cool breezes made the perfect backdrop for the presentation which gave us a taste of things to come.
Nahui Resort Development Presentation
Nahui, a Nahuatl word referring to the 4 elements wind, water, earth and fire, reflects the developers desire to create an ecologically sensitive low density community on an 800+ hectare (2100 acre) lot of Mexican Beach and Jungle land located in the northern Banderas Bay in Riviera Nayarit and just 45 minutes from the Puerto Vallarta International Airport, near shopping, dining and entertainment. The Nahui community boasts 4.5 kilometers (2.8 miles!) of coastline, including the excellent Playa Destiladeras and plans are in the works for two 18 hole golf courses and a beach club, as well as a village with commercial areas and dining.
Phase one of the development is comprised of 73 ocean view building lots of about 500m2 (5380 sq ft) on which the developer will build to suit. The architectural firm of

Barba & Ramirez have prepared plans of modular homes which are highly customizable to suit any budget or any level of luxury. Barba & Ramirez have a lot of experience building high end luxury homes all over Mexico including Los Veneros and Hacienda de Mita (to name just a few) here in the Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit area. Having personally been inside some of their excellent projects I can tell you with confidence: when it comes to luxury, these guys really get it.
The project is brand new and we don’t all information yet, but we expect pricing to start at around $400,000 USD for a 2 bedroom home. In the next few days we are expecting more details and I’ll post here as they become available. In the mean time, let me know if you need any more information!
Hi Grant,
Interesting… I always have mixed feelings about these. Do you know what’s going to happen to the public beach access? as you know, popular beach with the locals.
Take Care

Hi Jamie,
That’s a sticky issue as a lot of beaches in the bay are getting hard, if not impossible to access due to development. The developers at Nahui said at the presentation that the beach access would be maintained so it shouldn’t be an issue at Playa Destiladeras.
Today is Aug 15, 2013 and we are now some 3.5 years since this announcement. This development finds itself embroiled in numerous grievance lodged by clients for construction non performance and failing to deliver timeshare, private home and condo units within agreed upon timelines. Now, C&C Capital and Hector Cardenas Curiel – the developer, are, as of this date, refusing to return deposit monies as per termination clauses. And yet they continue to sell units! There are numerous ‘posts’ on FB ( Nahui Tau Nayarit ) and TripAdvisor under similar ‘tags’. There is no accountability and to say the business practices of this developer are unethical, is an understatement! Be Aware – Be Informed.
Don,
Thanks for your input!
I’m sorry to hear people are having problems at Nahui. We have been watching and waiting to see what is going to happen with this development. We liked the project a lot and thought it had a great deal of potential (although personally, I’d just as soon they left the beach alone) Unfortunately their timing was incredibly bad, trying to launch a project of this magnitude right into the teeth of a global economic crisis.
I’m not trying to defend any of the actions people are accusing them of… I’m in no position to know the details (but i suspect that those making the accusations are sincere). Buying into (or indeed, even promoting) a project in pre-construction is something of a craps shoot. If recent events have taught us anything, it’s to be extremely wary of properties that are not ready for immediate delivery, or very close to it.
Nahui continues to be an interesting project… Sadly, it will probably be some years before they get themselves straightened out to the point where I would recommend them to my clients again. Given the amount of bad press they are getting, it may take an investor or group of investors to come in and buy the entire project and get it back on it’s feet again.
