The Biosphere Reserve

In the Mayan language, Sian Ka'an means 'where the sky is born' or 'origin of the sky.' Its coast is the third largest among Mexico's protected areas.
As well as boasting some of the most spectacular and pristine beaches in the world, this protected national treasure comprises approximately 1.3 million acres in total, spanning 120 kilometers from north to south, covering almost one third of the Caribbean coast of Mexico.
The Biosphere Reserve, renowned for its natural uncontaminated beauty, contains tropical forests, mangroves, and shimmering lagoons, as well as a large marine section intersected by a barrier reef. It provides a habitat for remarkably rich flora and fauna, comprising more than 300 species of birds.
Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987, the reserve holds significant global importance for its conservation efforts.

What's our status.
We are close to obtaining the federal permits from the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) after successfully presenting and getting approved the environmental impact statement as a prerequisite to changing the land use of the property to tourist. This modification will allow the construction of a hotel with a capacity of 22 units, which can be operated as 44 keys, as well as roads, decks, pools, among other amenities.
