Plethora of Wellness Amenities Part of the Plan

Designed by renowned architects Moises Ison and Jose Sanchez of the award-winning Central de Arquitectura, Naos will comprise 394 homes upon its completion, split into three high-rise towers.  Central de Arquitectura is also developing the popular Nima Bay resort community in Puerto Vallarta, where 48 percent of the 145 units are sold and move-ins are currently under way.

“NAOS will be different than any other residential community in the Riviera Baja,” said Moises Ison of Central de Arquitectura.  “The focus is on wellness, on slowing down life so as to enjoy the special pleasures all around us.”

One-of-a-kind wellness amenities at Naos include a European-designed spa with sauna and steam room, yoga and meditation room, state-of-the-art fitness center, walking path, putting green, lap pool, separate children’s pool, all-weather indoor pool, four whirlpool spas, tennis court and volleyball court, all along a four-mile stretch of secluded beach, where one can watch the surfers or dolphins frolicking in the surf, kayak, body surf or play in the sand with grandchildren.  In fact, a Beach Club will provide water and sand toys for residents and their guests.

“Naos was initially conceived to be a haven for vacationing Americans, who wanted a second home on the beach at prices that can’t be found in United States,” said Ison.  “Our research shows that our market is now going to be retiring Baby Boomers from the United States and Canada.  As a result, we have re-evaluated our floor plans, amenities and services to make sure we hit the mark with expatriates looking for a new place to call home.”

According to Ison, Naos features a high standard of quality and amenities that American retirees desire such as 24-hour attended security, a grand formal entrance and lobby area for greeting guests, well-tended gardens and Wi-Fi Internet service.  In addition, a clubroom with multimedia facilities, billiards and game room, bocce ball green and a calendar of events will ensure residents will have plenty to keep them occupied.

The flow-through floor plans at Naos will all boast panoramic views of the ocean, in   one-, two- and three-bedroom units.  Beach and garden houses will also be available as well as sprawling penthouse suites. The Italian-inspired kitchens and spa bathrooms will feature marble flooring, granite counter tops, top-of-the-line finishes and fixtures that make for a luxurious feel. Kitchens will boast gourmet-quality stainless steel appliances. Prices start in the low $200,000s for one-bedroom units with a den, on up to $650,000 for a 2,400-square-foot, two-story penthouse.

Central de Arquitectura has more than 28 residential and commercial projects to their name throughout Mexico, including properties in Vera Cruz, Playa del Carmen and Mexico City.
