One eighth of one specific house, co-owned through a Mexican bank trust. Here is the whole mechanism, with no fine print tucked away.
One of the eight fractions of one specific house, not of the development. You are a co-owner through a Mexican bank trust: you hold a beneficiary right over the property. It is real, lifelong ownership, and it can be inherited, rented and sold. You are not buying a calendar of dates: you are buying part of the property.
The trust is held with Banco Covalto, formerly Banco Finterra, which has established more than two thousand trusts. Your accession is executed before a notary and recorded against the property at the Public Registry of Property.
A house's year is 48 weeks for the eight owners — six each — plus four for maintenance.
Every July you choose six weeks plus four backups, ranked in order of preference, from the owners' portal. Whoever holds the first pick that year is guaranteed their top two; then comes the second, and so on to the eighth. The order rotates by one place each year, so over eight years everyone takes a turn at first pick.
There are eight premium weeks in the year — Christmas, New Year, Holy Week, Easter, the long weekends and the summer — and the calendar is built so that each owner gets one. You never have to coordinate with another owner: everything runs through the platform.
| Fractions | Portion of the house | Weeks a year |
|---|---|---|
| One | 1/8 | 6 |
| Two | 1/4 | 12 |
| Three | 3/8 | 18 |
| Four · the maximum | 1/2 | 24 |
They are not consecutive weeks: two fractions give you twelve weeks a year, assigned by the same rotating calendar.
Three options. You rent it through the platform: the operator lists it, collects and pays out to you, and charges 20% to manage it. You lend or rent it to someone you know, with no commission, and you answer for any damage. Or you deposit it with THIRDHOME and travel somewhere else: the largest luxury home exchange club in the world, with free enrolment for ALTA VISTA owners.
There are no separate closing costs. Charged apart are the traditional deed before a notary — if the buyer chooses to do it; it is not required in order to acquire — and, at handover, the three-month guarantee fund, the annual fee and the current month. If you are a foreign buyer, the permit from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is at your expense; the operator helps you obtain it.

The reservation is refundable and is applied in full to the price. No interest, no origination fee, no bank and no credit check: we provide the financing ourselves. Buyers who prefer to pay in full have different terms.
A fraction costs US$62,500 — $1,150,000 Mexican pesos at an exchange rate of $18.40 MXN/USD. The dollar figure is a reference: the purchase is documented and settled in pesos. It is the first tier open to the public and the lowest there will be.
The Friends & Family tier, which came before this one, has closed. From here on the price moves up as fractions are sold: each block of eight closes one tier and opens the next. Whoever comes in earlier pays less because they take on more construction ahead of them.
The next tier is announced when this one closes. Prices current as of November 2026, subject to change without notice.
Yes. The vehicle is a fideicomiso, the Mexican bank trust that is precisely the instrument a foreign buyer uses to acquire property in the coastal zone. Signing is digital, with an advanced electronic signature: you do not need to travel or appear before a notary.
Two figures are still being settled with the operator and we will share them the moment we have them in writing: the annual management fee, and the administrative cost of acquiring a fraction in two names. We would rather say so than give a number we have to correct later.
Leave us your details and we will send you the usage calendar, the current price list and the payment options.
