Profile

Luma is on the beach in Nuevo Vallarta, near the El Tigre golf club and the Paradise Village sports complex, where residents have membership privileges.

Luma describes itself as "the first American-developed, full-ownership, active adult beachfront community in Mexico."

What does that mouthful mean? For starters, Luma is for people 50 and older -- youngsters (under 50) are only allowed to visit for 90 days a year. Its amenities reflect this positioning: a "lifelong learning center," an on-site clinic for physicals, and a program to help residents get involved in community service work.

The developer runs 13 "active adult" communities in the US. If you like that concept but prefer Mexico to Florida, Luma is surely worth checking out.

Pros

- Older residents tend to be around more. Fewer transitory residents can mean more of a community and a better-maintained project overall.
- Pretty, swimmable beach.
- Big swimming pool.
- On-site clinic for check-ups and routine medical consultations with infrastructure to relay you to a better facility if necessary.
- Affiliated with El Tigre golf and sports clubs at Paradise Village.
- Contact with nature, with an aviary and a turtle sanctuary.
- Pet friendly.

Cons

- Anyone under 50 can only visit you for up to 30 days a year.
- Less diverse population than some other places (at least in terms of age).
