THE PUNTA MITA AREA
Spectacular Punta Mita, located just two-and-a-half hours from Los
Angeles, three hours from San Francisco, five hours from Chicago and
New York, and just 30 minutes on the new four-lane highway from the
Puerto Vallarta airport, is home to the massive Four Seasons gated
master community that also includes facilities by Starwood and St.
Regis, two waterfront golf courses by Jack Nicklaus, and
multimillion dollar villas. Surrounded on three sides by the Four
Seasons and a fourth by the tranquil waters of Banderas Bay is the
village of El Anclote, which features several excellent restaurants,
and the sleepy village of Emiliano Zapata, which is home to the new
18-unit El Faro condo complex.


Punta Mita has become the tropical destination of choice for nature-
loving Americans, Canadians, and Europeans because of its natural
setting and wildlife, numerous activities, and the tranquility
afforded by 9.5 miles of almost empty beaches. Looking to get wild
and crazy and dance on the bars? You’ll be much happier at Cabo San
Lucas.

How popular is the Punta Mita area? Despite rooms that average
$1,500/night, the Four Season sells out 11 months a year, and villas
in the area go for up to $10,000/night. Punta Mita is particularly
popular with American celebrities and politicians looking to
vacation in privacy. And now that traffic in Puerto Vallarta has
exploded, many long-time vacationers there have moved to the much
more tranquil Punta Mita.


THE EL FARO REAL II CONDO COMPLEX AT PUNTA MITA
The seven-story, El Faro Real complex, completed in December of ‘06,
is right on the beach, and the terraces look directly down on the 80-
ft long infinity pool and the beautiful blue tropical waters of
Banderas Bay. During the winter, whales are a daily sight, and in
the summer dorado can be seen cornering bait fish near the shore.
The complex’s southern exposure means there are unparalleled views
of the sun from dawn to dusk, as well as the sailboats at anchor,
and the picturesque four-mile distant Tres Marietas Island natural
reserve.

The experienced American builder/developer of El Faro gave special
care to the project because it’s now his full time residence. The
pool water, for example, is kept clean with an ozone filter rather
than using chlorine chemicals, and despite the small size of the
complex, it has its own water desalinization plant and back-up
generator system.

THE “CIELO Y MAR” UNITS AT EL FARO REAL II
There are three Cielo y Mar (The sky and the sea) units in the El
Faro complex:

A dazzling two-story, 2,500 sq ft penthouse on the 6th and 7th
floors - the highest elevation allowed at Punta Mita - which
includes a massive shade-trellis-covered terrace on the top floor.
Perfect for families or two couples, there’s nothing like this ‘love
shack’ elsewhere on the bay.

A three-bedroom 2,500 sq ft unit on the 5th floor, including 75
linear feet of terrace, which sleeps six. If you’ve ever stayed on
the water in Waikiki, you’ll be shocked at how much more spacious
all the El Faro units are than the ‘broom closests’ in Honolulu.


A one bedroom 1,400 sq ft unit on the 5th floor, which a 27-ft long
bay view window, that sleeps up to four.

SIMPLE ELEGANCE DECRIBES ALL THE CONDO INTERIORS.

ALL El FARO REAL UNITS ARE TRUE OCEANFRONT
Unlike some so-called “oceanfront” units in Punta Mita and elsewhere,
which are separated from the water by restaurants and the main road,
at high tide the Cielo y Mar units are separated by nothing more
than the unit’s gorgeous infinity pool! No matter if you are looking
from inside the units or out on the terrace, all you see is the
pool, the sea, and the sky! No units are closer to the water than
those at El Faro!
