Agua Alta Cup in Careyes: the most exclusive polo event

Nestled between Manzanillo and Puerto Vallarta, on the pristine stretch of Jalisco's Costa Alegre, Careyes is more than a destination: it's a state of mind.

More than just a tournament, this gathering brings together international players, polo enthusiasts, and travelers seeking off-the-beaten-path experiences. The fields, framed by the jungle and the sea, offer a visual spectacle as vibrant as the game itself.

Careyes is renowned for its vision of sustainability and for keeping its founder's legacy alive. Today, his children—Emanuela, Filippo, and Giorgio Brignone—continue this legacy with a vision that prioritizes conscious development, biodiversity, and art as an integral part of the landscape.

Just an hour from Careyes, the Four Seasons Tamarindo complements the experience with world-class accommodations. At this property, luxury is redefined through tranquility, a connection with nature, and local cuisine. It's the perfect starting point for those who wish to experience the Agua Alta Cup with the comfort of an intimate beachfront retreat.

Beyond the pole, visiting Careyes is to immerse yourself in a community where the rhythm is set by the sun, the waves, and the vibrant colors of the facades. A paradise that, more than five decades after its creation, remains one of Mexico's best-kept secrets.
