Beachfront living, ocean-view hills, and tropical construction.
Building a home in Sámara or Playa Carrillo costs between $1,800 and $3,200 per square meter ($167 to $297 per square foot). Beach lots require raised foundations to stay high and dry during rain storms, while hillsides behind Carrillo offer panoramic ocean views. We build storm-tough homes with beautiful finishes.
