Thor Equities Group, a global real estate leader, today announced plans for its Thor Urbana division to develop a new Ritz-Carlton Reserve hotel on the beautiful Riviera Nayarit in Mexico.
The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Riviera Nayarit will feature 110 luxury rooms, suites and private villas with ocean views. Scheduled to open in 2022, the exclusive hotel will be located in El Santuario (The Sanctuary), within the master development of Costa Canuva near Puerto Vallarta. El Santuario offers a private beach, cliffs with captivating views, and an unparalleled natural environment.
Hotel amenities include three restaurants, a bar, event rooms, two pools, a spa and shops, all with a focus on personalized service.
"We are excited to bring the first Ritz-Carlton Reserve hotel to the Riviera Nayarit, which is quickly becoming one of the most desirable luxury resort destinations in all of Mexico," said Joseph Sitt, chairman of Thor Equities Group.

The Riviera Nayarit, a beautiful 200-mile region along the Pacific coastline, was recently named the "next big 'it' destination" and "Mexico's next big vacation gold mine" by Bloomberg.
"We are driven to create value for our national and foreign visitors, but above all, we are excited to promote the development of our country by offering spaces and innovative projects that demonstrate the trust and commitment that investors have in Mexico and its future," said executives of Thor Urbana.
