The renowned Costa Careyes Polo Club, nestled along Jalisco’s southern coast within Mexico’s picturesque Costalegre region, has officially announced the appointment of Ignacio ‘Nacho’ Tejerina as its new manager and sporting director.
The selection follows a rigorous recruitment process driven by a record number of global applications. Tejerina, a three-goal handicap player, steps into the role bringing international experience from Morocco’s PGH La Palmeraie.
A Unique Sanctuary of “Barefoot Luxury”
Founded in 1968 by Italian visionary Gian Franco Brignone, Costa Careyes defines the concept of “barefoot luxury”—a relaxed haven far removed from the standard resort experience. Set against the stunning backdrop of the “Mexican Mediterranean,” the estate has long championed ecological conservation, a vibrant artistic community, and striking architecture.
A Premier Sporting Calendar
The Careyes Polo Club is celebrated for its established fixtures and vibrant social scene, running an official season from November to April.
- The Agua Alta Cup: Serving as the club’s premier competition, this flagship tournament typically coincides with Easter.
- Beyond the Match: Lasting approximately one week, the schedule extends beyond standard matches to function as a broader lifestyle festival, incorporating golf tournaments and exclusive social gatherings across the town.
With Tejerina at the helm of its sporting operations, Costa Careyes looks toward an exciting new chapter, blending high-level international polo competition with its legendary coastal lifestyle.
