Costa Careyes was founded in 1968 by Gian Franco Brignone, an innovative artist, architect and entrepreneur from Torino, Italy whose dream was to create an ideal resort, following the philosophy of the Costa Esmeralda Sardegna Resort developed by The Aga Khan.
While flying over the Pacific Coast of Mexico, Brignone was enchanted with the Coast of Careyes, which today has become best known for its preserved natural landscape, innovative architecture and pleasant year-round climate. Careyes is a place where the Italian ideals of "savoir vivre" and sensuality are complemented by the authentic beauty, climate, happiness and craftsmanship of Mexico.
Now, 35 years after Brignone first made his home in Careyes, a fascinating community has emerged - one that is comprised of international travelers from Europe, Mexico, and United States and beyond. In Careyes, every nationality is welcomed and appreciated.
