(September 22,
2008)—CABO SAN LUCAS,
BCS,
MEXICO -- Owen Perry, a
partner in the highly successful “Villa Group”, has announced that it has broken
ground for Villa del Palmar Loreto; the new 5 star resort is to be built as part
of a spectacular 1800 acre resort development in Loreto,
Baja Sur,
Mexico. Loreto is
located on the east coast of the
Baja California
Peninsula facing the
Sea of
Cortez in the largest
protected sea park in the world. With practically no rain and a source of pure
water coming from underground springs, Loreto is rapidly becoming one of
Mexico’s prime
vacation and second home destinations. It is surrounded by the Sierra La
Giganta, one of Baja’s highest and most breathtaking mountain ranges.
Villa del
Palmar Loreto will feature 161 one-, two-, and three-bedroom villas, all with
views of the
Sea of
Cortez and the five islands.
The first phase is slated to open in January 2010, with a complete investment of
$60,000,000.00. Each villa will be decorated with elegant furniture and will
include a living room, dining room, full kitchen with granite countertops,
modern appliances and electronic equipment, and a 10’ wide spacious terrace in
each Villa. The Nature of the area will be the main feature designed into the
property, complete with an activity center designed for the calm ocean of the
Sea of
Cortez, also low level
lighting with Fire pits on the beach will provide for a spectacular evening.
According to
Owen Perry, the master development eventually is projected to have 2200 rooms,
divided into seven projects, with a variety of real estate products covering the
spectrum of affordability and lifestyles. Included in the overall make-up are
timesharing, fractional ownership, whole ownership, restaurants, recreational
opportunities and commercial retail operations, including a wellness center. A
high-end hotel to be named shortly is also on the books. An 18-hole golf
course, designed by Rees Jones, will be part of the development, scheduled to
start construction in 2010.
Loreto, an
hour flight from San Diego and an hour and a half from Los Angeles, is one of
five beach resort areas that was slated for development as a tourism destination
by Mexico’s national trust for the promotion of tourism (FONATUR) 20 years ago.
Loreto has a rich history dating back to the first mission of the
California’s in 1697. But it is the
beauty, weather and beaches that is making this location the next popular
destination of the Baja peninsula.
The property
is situated in a secluded bay, where only hotel guests and owners will have
access to the 3 miles of the secluded white sandy beach, located just 20 minutes
from the international
airport of
Loreto,
Baja Sur,
Mexico.
Guests and
owners will have access to a wide selection of amenities, including a state of
the art 40,000 sq ft spa and gym, activities onsite include various restaurants,
bars, convenience stores, full-service water activities center, swimming pools,
tennis courts, golf, breath taking hiking trails and horseback riding. The
original mission of San Javier is a short 2 hour drive for a unique day trip.
Alaska
Airlines has reaffirmed its commitment to Loreto by adding more flights to the
destination starting in November.

The Villa Group Announces Two New Developments In
Mexico

The Villa Group has announced that it
has successfully completed the purchase of oceanfront parcels in Punta
Cancun and on the bay of Ensenada Blanca in Loreto, Baja California Sur,
Mexico, and is now in the design and construction phase of destination
resorts in both locations. Upon completion of these four new properties, The
Villa Group resort portfolio will expand to 12.
“With the proven success of our Villa
La Estancia and Villa del Palmar brands in Cabo San Lucas and Puerto
Vallarta, our plan is to build these properties side by side in other
destinations,” said Owen Perry, one of The Villa Group’s owners. New
developments will be fashioned like the company’s self-contained resort
complex in Cabo San Lucas, where guests and owners of adjacent properties
have access to multiple restaurants, a health spa, fitness center, tennis
courts, a super market and other services.
The two distinctive property styles
have positioned The Villa Group as a company providing a compelling vacation
solution for a broad range of clients. Villa del Palmar offers versatility
as a hotel and timeshare resort, while Villa La Estancia is flexible with
fractional and full ownership opportunities, as well as vacation rentals for
high-end clientele.
“We’re one of the first companies to
successfully integrate all of these real estate and vacation products under
one umbrella,” Perry remarked.
“We’ve blended resort stays and vacation home ownership together, and have a
sales team in place to help our clients enhance their lifestyle in both
areas.”
Each of the oceanfront parcels in both
destinations offers easy access to safe swimming, snorkeling and other
water-bound activities. The Villa Group properties typically feature
dramatic ocean views and high-end amenities such as themed spas, conference
facilities, gourmet and specialty restaurants, landscaped walkways leading
to multiple freeform swimming pools with Jacuzzis, expansive beach areas and
on-site markets. Loreto will also include an 18-hole golf course.
Reflecting The Villa Group’s goal for
continued growth, the new developments will add to the company’s existing
60,000-plus timeshare
owners and expanding real estate client list. “We have established a
significant customer base of regular visitors who love our Villa del Palmar
and Villa La Estancia brands, and are confident that existing and new
customers will find these new Villa Group developments equally attractive,”
Perry added.
