Luma may not have a typical "condo development" name, but that's because it's not a typical condo project. Its unique features have attracted extensive international coverage by publications from the New York Times to the Kiplinger Report.
The project is newsworthy because it is the first of its kind - the first project in Mexico designed specifically and exclusively for people over 50.
Medical treatment will be provided by an English-speaking physician at an on-site private clinic. Yearly physicals, eye exams, basic dermatology, respiratory and orthopedic services will all be available, along with basic medical care and referrals to specialists.
But being first in the "50+" market is not Luma's only distinction. It is also a master planned, luxury beachfront community with unique amenities that set it apart from the broad range of new condo projects on the Bay.
For example, on-site medical care is only one facet of a comprehensive health program. Luma will offer "a strong focus on wellness and preventative medicine," according to Alex Urrutia, Luma Sales Director.
"It is this unique mix of beachfront luxury with post-50 features that have really set us apart in this market," Urrutia says. "We are not just another condo project. We are truly unique and, yes, we are the first."
Luma broke ground on October 18 of last year, and a beautiful sales studio is now open with a spectacular oceanfront sales model. Completion of the first stage is scheduled for Fall of next year.
Luma is located on the beaches of Nuevo Vallarta on Paseo de los Cocoteros #56, just north of Playa Royale. Call for an appointment at 322-226-7290.

Excerpts from some of the international press coverage on Luma:
Sheltered by tranquil Banderas Bay and shadowed by the verdant Sierra Madres, Nuevo Vallarta is home to Luma... [It] will neighbor to the tony Paradise Village Resort and Luma clients will enjoy use of its amenities. Humpback whales, sea turtles and other creatures are drawn to the warm waters of Banderas Bay and Luma's position along the coast offers prime viewing.
