The resort is planned to include 271 hotel rooms and suites and a 2,400-sq.-ft. Andalucia suite with private yard and pool. The property will include a signature restaurant with breathtaking views with a tapas and piano bar. A 35,000-sq.-ft. resort spa with a full service salon will be located on the property. The facility will also include 70,000 sq ft. of outdoor meeting and event space, 31,000 sq. ft. of indoor meeting and banquet space, a 5,000-sq.-ft. boutique shopping area, a 9,450-sq.-ft.

Montelucia also features 34 luxurious detached, single-family Villas, ranging from 3,800 to 4,700 sq-ft, meticulously designed to create a magnificent private living environment in a traditional Southern Spanish architecture with state-of-the-art appointments. California architectural firms Backen & Gillam and Sheurer Architects, along with Scottsdale, Ariz, firm Allen + Philp Architects, are performing design work on the project, which is set to open in the fourth quarter of 2007. VCC Contractors will be the general contractor for the resort.
