Until now, Campeche has been discovered by only a few international travelers. The state, which takes its name from its capital city, lies along the Gulf of Mexico just north of Campeche. There, along three kilometers of beachfront, Europe’s Grupo Mall is developing a mega-project that is scheduled to include two hotels (one a 250-room Westin), a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course, plus homes and condo apartments that will sell for up to $1 million. Europeans are expected to buy most of the properties, although 20 percent has been set aside for Mexican citizens. Total investment in the “Campeche Beach, Golf and Marina Resort” is programmed at $800 million and the project is set for completion within three years.
