The peninsula also features a complex of luxury homes and properties, including Pexs and Exlusive Resorts, both located on the Peninsula. By government mandate, 70% of the peninsula’s territory must be kept in its natural state to preserve its beauty, which must not be overshadowed by overdevelopment.
