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, 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 Puerto Vallarta traffic has exploded, many long time vacationers there have moved to the much more peaceful Punta Mita.
THE EL FARO REAL II CONDO COMPLEX AT PUNTA MITA
The seven-story, El Faro Real complex, completed in September 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.
This one-bedroom 1400 sq ft unit is on the 5th floor, including a huge terrace, with 28 ft , full view sliding doors, which sleeps four. 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. Simple, elegant, Mexican contemporary is our interior style.

ALL El FARO REAL UNITS ARE TRULY RIGHT ON THE BEACH!
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!

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.
