Litibú Bay Club Breaks Ground in Punta de Mita: A Private Coastal Haven Redefining Luxury in Riviera Nayarit
A New Benchmark for Secluded Luxury Living on Mexico’s Pacific Coast
The coastlines of Riviera Nayarit have long attracted those drawn to its raw beauty and refined leisure—but a new development is poised to raise the region’s standard for luxury living. This spring, Litibú Bay Club, a private residential enclave located in the celebrated Punta de Mita corridor, has officially broken ground. Backed by GBM Real Estate and Contact Development Company—the team behind acclaimed projects such as Conrad Punta de Mita—this new community unfolds across 21 acres of secluded beachfront terrain with panoramic views of Litibú Bay, Cerro del Mono Mountain, and the Sierra Madre range.
With a limited offering of 171 residences, direct access to one of the Pacific coast’s most coveted beaches, and architecture designed to dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, Litibú Bay Club is shaping up to be one of the most significant residential debuts in Mexico’s luxury real estate landscape.
A Masterplan Centered on Privacy, Design, and Connection to Nature
The architectural vision—crafted by TALLER ADG in collaboration with California-based VITA—is one of sophisticated minimalism, rooted in place. Natural materials such as native stone and artisanal woodwork are paired with expansive glass walls to offer sweeping views while maintaining a sense of intimacy. Each home is positioned to embrace the land’s contours, offering a balance between privacy, panoramic views, and community access to nature-focused amenities.
Buyers can currently choose between Ocean Villas and Golf Villas, with a small number of beachfront homes planned for future phases. Phase I officially launched in February 2025, and interest has been swift—25% of the first phase inventory was reserved within the first month, underscoring the international appetite for high-design residences in Punta de Mita.
Ocean and Golf Villas: Tailored for Leisure and Livability
The Ocean Villas, perched above Litibú Beach, offer three- to five-bedroom floor plans ranging from 2,422 to 4,340 square feet of interior space, plus generous outdoor living areas. Upper-level homes are designed to blur boundaries between the primary suite, great room, and expansive terraces. Garden-level units, meanwhile, open directly to private pools, creating a lush indoor-outdoor atmosphere ideal for year-round living.
Nestled along the 18th fairway of the Greg Norman-designed Higuera Golf Club, the Golf Villas are equally compelling. These three- and four-bedroom residences feature rooftop terraces with plunge pools and built-in outdoor kitchens for top-floor units, while lower-level homes offer private gardens and poolside patios—perfect for casual entertaining or weekend gatherings. With the Pacific Ocean just beyond the greens, the setting offers a rare convergence of tranquility and recreation.
Prices for Phase I residences begin at $1.4 million USD, making the Litibú Bay Club a compelling entry into the Punta de Mita luxury real estate market.
Amenities Designed to Elevate the Everyday
At the core of the Litibú Bay Club lifestyle is its robust suite of amenities, designed to support wellness, play, and community connection. The Beach Club is positioned directly along the shoreline, offering an infinity-edge pool, spa, and indoor-outdoor lounge, alongside a signature restaurant and poolside bar specializing in locally sourced ingredients and fresh seafood. The Surf Shack grants residents direct access to 754 feet of swimmable beach for snorkeling, kayaking, and surfing.
For those with a more active disposition, the Sports and Adventure Club is equipped for pickleball, tennis, and padel, with a dedicated fitness pavilion. Children and families can explore Camp Litibú, which curates creative and nature-based activities, while nearby trails through The Preserve lead to the Tecoxquine archaeological site, protected in collaboration with Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH).
And then there is the Higuera Golf Club, where Norman’s signature design culminates in a par-3 island green and a dramatic oceanfront finishing hole—offering daily inspiration to golfers of all levels.
Seamless Access, Elevated Privacy
Litibú Bay Club is located just 45 minutes from Puerto Vallarta International Airport, which offers direct flights from major U.S. and Canadian cities. For those arriving by private jet, the adjacent Aerotron FBO ensures a seamless transition from runway to residence. Despite its accessibility, the site remains tucked away—its beach location feels far removed from the crowds, yet not from convenience.
Sales Now Underway
Prospective homeowners are invited to experience the project firsthand at the on-site beachfront Sales Clubhouse, which features scaled 3D models of each home type and curated lifestyle experiences.
