MEXICO
Pacific wildness, Caribbean clarity, and extraordinary places to stay.
Mexico, Beyond the Familiar
Mexico is not one coastal experience. Along the Pacific, the landscape can feel raw and expansive, with forested hillsides, secluded coves and long stretches of shoreline. On the Caribbean side, the character changes: clearer water, softer beaches and the distinctive landscape of the Riviera Maya.
For CVAY, that contrast is precisely what makes Mexico interesting. It allows us to be selective rather than comprehensive, focusing on places where an exceptional home, a strong sense of setting and thoughtful private hospitality come together.
From the bold architecture and secluded coastline of Costa Careyes to Tulum and the Riviera Maya, Mexico offers very different ways to experience life by the sea — each with its own rhythm, design language and reason for choosing it.
Two Coasts, Two Distinct Experiences
Pacific Mexico
Careyes & the Costalegre
Mexico’s Pacific coast has a more dramatic character, shaped by forested hills, rocky headlands and secluded bays. Along the Costalegre, Careyes stands apart for its expressive architecture, strong sense of privacy and close relationship between homes and landscape.
This is a coast for travellers drawn to beautiful surroundings without needing everything around them to feel busy or highly developed.
Caribbean Mexico
Tulum & the Riviera Maya
On Mexico’s Caribbean coast, the landscape changes completely. White-sand beaches, clear water and tropical vegetation define the Riviera Maya, while Tulum brings together coastal living, contemporary design and the cultural depth of the Yucatán Peninsula.
It offers an easy combination of time by the sea, nature, dining and exploration, with exceptional private homes providing a quieter base away from the busiest parts of the coast.
The CVAY Collection in Mexico
A considered selection of exceptional places along Mexico’s coast, chosen for their setting, character and the way they invite you to experience the destination.
Casa Torre
Set above the Pacific in Careyes, Casa Torre brings together expressive Mexican architecture, tropical gardens and open-air living. Five private bungalow suites surround a remarkable central palapa, creating a home that feels both intimate and wonderfully connected to its coastal setting.
A Place to Call Your Own
For some, discovering Mexico’s coast leads to something more permanent. Around Tulum and the Riviera Maya, contemporary homes sit within a landscape shaped by tropical greenery, Caribbean light and an increasingly international way of life. CVAY presents a small selection of coastal properties for those considering a home of their own in Mexico.
