Ernesto Coppel's 750-hectare resort in Mexico is a testament to his adventurous spirit and successful career in the tourism industry. The resort, located on the beachfront in Los Cabos, showcases his personal style and global travels. Coppel, a tourism tycoon, built the property from scratch with the help of architect Paty Danel and interior designer Katherine Pullen. The house is characterized by its spacious, eclectic, and bright atmosphere, with decor that includes a Greek vase dating from 450 BC and a Greek quadriga, a replica of Phidias's design on one of the Parthenon pediments in Athens. Coppel's favorite room is the bedroom, which offers magnificent sea views. The vast majority of the decor has been collected on travels across Europe, the Americas, India, Africa, Egypt, Jordan, and Turkey. A Russian icon of the Black Madonna holds sentimental value for Coppel, as it was found during a trip to Jerusalem. Coppel's success in the tourism industry is attributed to his chance entry into the field at age 30, weathering economic crises, and building a strong team. His future goals include expanding the company's timeshare portfolio and constructing a massive St Regis hotel and a golf course called Lighthouse. Coppel's personal life is also notable, with his marriage to Gabriela Camus, who he met through a mutual friend. They have been together for 20 years and tied the knot in 2013. Gabriela's work includes a foundation supporting abused women and the elderly, a boutique selling decorative pieces, clothing, and accessories, and a venue called Oystera. Coppel's success and generosity, as well as his ability to transform spaces, are admired by those around him, including his wife and daughter Bárbara.
