Montage International, in partnership with Thor Urbana and Life Properties International, has announced the development of Montage Valle de Guadalupe, a luxury resort that will be located within the Bruma Wine Estate in Valle de Guadalupe, Mexico. The resort is expected to open in 2028 and will mark Montage International’s fifth property in Mexico. Montage and Pendry are also also developing properties in Punta Mita and Mexico City.
“Montage International is pleased to partner with Thor Urbana and Life Properties to bring an incredible Montage experience to this exceptional destination,” said Alan J. Fuerstman, founder, chairman and CEO, Montage International. “Having previously worked with Thor Urbana on the development of Montage Los Cabos, we are thrilled to collaborate with them on another extraordinary resort. Valle de Guadalupe is one of the world’s most captivating wine regions, where rolling vineyards meet innovative culinary artistry, and we look forward to creating an immersive experience for our guests and residents to enjoy.”
Montage Valle de Guadalupe will feature 62 guestrooms and a limited collection of Montage Residences, each with the amenities of a fully stocked home. The resort will include a signature restaurant, lobby bar and lounge, pool bar and lounge, a Spa Montage and fitness center, 3,800 square feet of indoor meeting and event space, a 4,000 square foot wedding lawn, Compass Sports center, retail offerings, a residential club, and the Montage signature Paintbox program for children.
The resort is located about an hour from the U.S.-Mexico border, neighboring Bruma Winery and Fauna, ranked among Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants. Valle de Guadalupe hosts over 150 wineries that produce 90 percent of all Mexican wine and is home to multiple Michelin-star restaurants. Guests and residential homeowners will have access to a cult winery and residential destination within Bruma that emphasizes regenerative production and farming models.
“Our team is looking forward to partnering with Montage International for our second project together in the Baja region,” said Jaime Fasja, founder and Co-CEO of Thor Urbana and Life Properties International, whose high-impact luxury hospitality and mixed-use projects include many world-class brands. “Life Properties International was founded as a natural evolution of our work in luxury real estate development, expanding our vision into private residential club communities centered on wellness, culinary, culture, and hospitality. Valle de Guadalupe is a rare destination where land, wine, tradition, and innovation intersect, making it a natural setting for a project of this caliber and intention.”
Montage Residences will include Hillside Residences, Vineyard Villas and Private Wine Estates. Each home will reflect the culture, history and traditions of the Valle, with high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and open-concept indoor and outdoor living spaces.
Future plans for Montage Valle de Guadalupe include a curated wine club and vintner program, new restaurants, a community center with a chef’s garden and artisanal shops, the Bruma Wellness Center, an on-site equestrian facility, and a contemporary art collection with an Artist in Residency program. The broader Bruma destination is developed by Life Properties International, Thor Urbana and GFA Grupo Inmobiliario.
