A new era of modern coastal living is taking shape along Mexico’s Pacific coastline with the debut of Litibú Bay Club, a 21-acre private beachfront residential community now under construction in Punta de Mita. Developed by Contact Development Company, the team behind Punta Mita, Punta Sayulita and the award-winning Conrad Punta de Mita, Litibú Bay Club marks the next evolution of Riviera Nayarit’s transformation into one of Latin America’s most desirable and authentic destinations for high-end residential investment.
Litibú Bay Club is designed to blend biophilic architecture, authentic cultural expression and contemporary coastal luxury. The master-planned community will feature 171 residences, including Ocean and Golf Villas and a limited number of beachfront homes, anchored by world-class amenities such as a beach club, sports and adventure club, and a Greg Norman-designed golf course at the adjacent Higuera Golf Club. Prices start at $1.4 million USD, with the first residences expected for delivery in late 2026.
Contemporary Design, Cultural Roots
Designed by Mexico’s TALLER ADG and California-based VITA, the architecture of Litibú Bay Club honors the land it occupies using indigenous materials, expansive glass walls and Huichol-inspired details to connect residents to the surrounding sea, mountains and jungle. At a time when luxury often means excess, architect Alonso de Garay emphasizes livability, restraint and a deep respect for place.
Residences range from three to five bedrooms, spanning 2,400 to 4,300 square feet of interior space, with floor plans emphasizing light, openness and indoor-outdoor flow. Garden-level villas feature private pools and lush gardens, while upper-level homes offer expansive terraces with panoramic views of Litibú Bay and the Sierra Madre Mountains.
“Litibú Bay Club goes beyond the expected, granting families a comfortable yet elevated coastal lifestyle where the amenities are as extraordinary as the setting itself,” said Kevin Roberts, managing partner at Contact Development Company. “Set along the pristine shores of Riviera Nayarit, this private beach community invites homeowners to explore, discover and create lasting memories through a curated collection of exclusive experiences inspired by local culture, the jungle and sea.”
Life Between Ocean and Jungle
Overlooking a golden stretch of shoreline, Litibú Bay Club’s Beach Club is the social heart of the community, featuring an infinity-edge pool, indoor-outdoor lounge and restaurant serving locally inspired cuisine. The Sports and Adventure Club will include tennis, pickleball and paddle courts, along with a state-of-the-art fitness center and Camp Litibú, a family-oriented program offering arts, crafts and connections to the land through guided nature hikes.
Adjacent to a nature preserve that protects the Tecoxquine archaeological site, conservation is a defining element of the project. Litibú Bay Club maintains an on-site sea turtle hatchery, where residents can participate in seasonal turtle releases – an unforgettable experience that reinforces the connection between home and habitat.
Residents also enjoy proximity to the Higuera Golf Club, one of Mexico’s top coastal courses. The Greg Norman designed layout features a dramatic par-3 island green and a signature oceanfront 18th hole overlooking Litibú Bay.
Destination Place-Making
Contact Development Company has been shaping Riviera Nayarit’s resort landscape for nearly three decades, pioneering projects that integrate community, conservation and design excellence. The firm’s track record includes the internationally recognized Punta Mita resort community, Punta Sayulita, and the Conrad Punta de Mita, which brought the Conrad brand’s first resort to Mexico.
For Roberts and his team, Litibú Bay Club represents a natural continuation of that legacy. Each project they’ve created in Riviera Nayarit has deepened their understanding of what makes the region special. Backing the project is GBM Real Estate, a Mexico City-based institutional investment group specializing in large-scale real estate projects across the residential, hospitality and commercial sectors. Together, the partnership between Contact Development Company and GBM brings both creative vision and financial strength to a market experiencing rapid international demand.
Access and Opportunity
Riviera Nayarit is now more accessible than ever as it enters a new phase of thoughtful growth. The newly expanded Aeropuerto Internacional de Tepic – Riviera Nayarit (TPQ) provides a convenient gateway from Tepic to Riviera Nayarit, with drive times to northern coastal destinations such as Punta de Mita averaging around two hours. Direct flights from Los Angeles via Volaris now operate three times weekly. The Riviera Nayarit Express shuttle provides convenient transfers to Sayulita, San Pancho, Punta Mita and La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, while improved highways and new toll roads have significantly reduced travel times from Puerto Vallarta.
Providing a second hub for visitors, Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR) is expanding with a state-of-the-art Terminal 2, currently under construction and designed to be a Net-Zero-certified facility, the first of its kind in Latin America upon completion.
The Next Chapter of Riviera Nayarit
2026 is set to be a defining year for Riviera Nayarit, marked by new resort openings, cultural discoveries and once-in-a-lifetime experiences like the seasonal turtle releases along its beaches.
Litibú Bay Club stands at the forefront of this movement, combining natural beauty, design integrity and lasting investment value. For homeowners, it’s more than a coastal retreat – it’s an opportunity to be a part of Riviera Nayarit’s next chapter.
