This is the new name for “Campeche Playa, Golf y Spa, a development long in the planning stage that finally has opened. About 40 miles up the coast from Campeche City, AakBal is the biggest tourism project on the Mexican Gulf Coast. After Spain’s Grupo Mall ran into financial difficulties, the project was taken over by Mexico’s ICA (Associated Civil Engineers). Partners include Nicklaus Design, ResortCom International, LaTour Hotels,RCI and others. AakBal includes a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course and almost unlimited watersports. Until the first hotel is ready, guests will be accommodated in apartments that later will be sold as vacation properties. AakBal in Maya means “the source of new things.”
