Our Story

Origin Story

“A relentless commitment to building something better.”

From MUSA cofounder, Tara Medina

In 2010, walking the coastline of Guerrero, Mexico, surfboards in hand and hearts wide open, Andrés and I began dreaming aloud of the kind of community we wanted to live in. Not just homes. Not just structures. But a new way of being. A place where design, ecology, and human connection could live in harmony.

This isn't a story of overnight success. It's a story of steady commitment, rooted in this place since 2002. Over the years, we experimented with real estate and lifestyle design, from building homes and launching development projects to activating spaces through surf culture and hospitality. We saw a deeper need: to create places that heal disconnection, between people and nature, profit and purpose, beauty and belonging.

Vision

MUSA is a living blueprint for the future of living.

Born from a deep love of place and possibility, MUSA reimagines how we live, build, and belong. It is both a town and a testing ground, a living laboratory for regenerative living and profitability, where architecture, ecology, and culture function as one integrated system. Every element, from art and education to food systems and finance, is designed to generate renewal, reciprocity, and resilience.

Guided by beauty and driven by purpose, MUSA models a new economy of care, where creativity fuels commerce and community becomes the measure of success. It's not just a place to live, but a way to live an evolving ecosystem of homes, learning, experiences, connectivity, and ideas that demonstrate how people and planet can thrive together.

The Beginning

Design and wildness,
hand in hand

Ground broke in January 2020, under circumstances that would have paused most projects. Instead, it became proof that development can be a force for good, and that values-led growth is achievable at scale.

The Land

250 acres,
one coastline

MUSA sits on Guerrero's Costa Grande, at the base of Mexico's vastest mountain range. Raw Pacific shoreline, a saltwater lagoon and a mile of untouched beach, held between the Sierra Madre and the sea.

Nothing here was flattened to make room for it. The architecture was drawn around what already existed: the palms, the lagoon, the reef. So the land keeps doing what it always did, just alongside a few new neighbors.

The Philosophy

Hospitality here isn't a service,
it's a feeling

You don't just check in at MUSA; you land, settle, root. The architecture listens to the land, and the land gives back in whispers. This isn't a resort, it's a rhythm, a retreat into meaning, where home is treated as a feeling rather than a place.
