The Villa Group Announces Two New Developments in Mexico

The Villa Group announces the purchase of oceanfront parcels in Isla Mujeres, just off the Yucatan coast near Cancun, and on the bay of Ensenada Blanca in Loreto, Baja California Sur, Mexico. It is now in the design and construction phase of destination resorts in both locations.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) January 19, 2007 -- The Villa Group today announced that it has successfully completed the purchase of oceanfront parcels in Isla Mujeres, just off the Yucatan coast near 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.

The 23-year-old company specializes in resort, hotel and real estate development. Existing properties are located in Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, Nuevo Vallarta and the Sierra Madre Mountain Range. 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.

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."

The properties are to be developed in significantly different destinations on opposite sides of the country. Known for its small town ambiance and sport fishing, Loreto is an up-and-coming destination situated on the Sea of Cortez in Baja California Sur. Located eight miles across the Bahia de Mujeres from Cancun, the quaint and uncrowded fishing village of Isla Mujeres is known for its charm and tranquil atmosphere.

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 European-style 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 coarse.

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.
