About Refugio del Mar Condos

Location, location, location.

You probably already know El Cafe de Bucerias and the Refugio del Mar Hotel. After all, they are on one of the prettiest corners in town! They are now building a low-density condo building just across the street, and only 2 blocks away from the beach. These new units are the most spacious you will find in town, and there are only 12 units on the property, so plenty of space for everyone on the shared rooftop with 360-degree panoramic views of the bay.

The Developer

Refugio del Mar Condos is a partnership project between family-owned Refugio del Mar and a construction veteran from Toronto who has been in Mexico since the mid-1970s.
