American entrepreneurs are building Mexico’s first nudist residential complex, Mak Nuk Village. Located in Tulum, the walled complex is aimed at the luxury nudist market. Buyers can opt to rent-out their units to tourists through the developer’s own agency. The grounds are to include a restaurant and swim-up bar, and unofficial nudist beaches are a short distance away.
The project’s developers are Michael Gormley, a California construction company owner, and Mike Hopson, an expatriate American who’s lived on the Mexican Riviera for the past 12 years. Hopson is a nudist who’s been involved in the naturist resort business for several years.
Prices range from 179,000 USD for a one bedroom penthouse to 249,000 for a 2 bedroom. Of the 16 units planned, 9 have already been sold.
