Conrad Hotels and Resorts is getting a second property in Mexico.

The luxury hotel company announced that it will redesign and reopen the former La Tranquila Resort in Punta de Mita, Mexico as the brand new Conrad Playa Mita in winter 2019.

"As one of the most popular tourism destinations in Latin America, Mexico continues to be a priority market in our regional growth plans," said Juan Corvinos, vice president, development, Latin America and the Caribbean, Hilton.

"With the recent signing of Waldorf Astoria Cancun on the Mexican Caribbean coast, we are thrilled to further expand our luxury footprint on the country's Pacific coastline."

"We are incredibly excited to be working with Hilton on this spectacular project in the growing Riviera Nayarit, and believe that the Conrad brand reflects the vision we have for the resort," said Federico Martin del Campo, CEO of Walton Street Capital Mexico.

The design will make use of Punta de Mita's tropical scenery and every single guestroom and suite will feature unobstructed views of the ocean just steps away.

"As the brand's second property in Mexico, Conrad Playa Mita will embody modern luxury in one of the world's most sought-after destinations," said Dino Michael, vice president, global brand development, Luxury and Lifestyle Brands, Hilton. "We look forward to delivering seamless service to our guests at a stunning coastal resort while giving them unique access to exploring the world around them."

The new Conrad will also feature a Greg Norman signature 18-hole golf course, tennis courts, pool and spa and a wide array of dining options.

In the surrounding area, Riviera Nayarit is known for amazing natural and adventure travel activities, such as: surfing, paddle boarding, scuba diving, whale watching, horseback riding, mountain biking, zip lining and hiking through the Sierra Madre Mountains.

Hilton, Conrad's parent company, is currently working on around 25 projects in Mexico.
