Our first episode of Cabos Finest Foodies, a great evening to learn and enjoy Sicilian cooking from guest chef Jeanna DeMarco of Napa. What a treat to have an Italian born chef trained at the Culinary Institute of America here on a guest appearance in Los Cabos!And to grace our home with her time and talents, we and our friends were blessed to indulge in learning hands on and dining on the fruits of our labors.

Four Seasons Private Villas Los Cabos at Costa Palmas

One hour north of the San Jose airport is the new Costa Palmas project. This Ft Lauderdale style marina concept was originally called Cabo Riviera but failed after hurricane Odile in 2014. Irongate Development came in and took over and rebranded it as Costa Palmas and are actively building the Four Seasons hotel and residences.

rea

Newly announced addition of the Aman resort and residences makes this a major player in the ultra luxury residence game in the southern Baja.

This is Aman’s first Mexican venture from this SE Asia 6 star hotel group.

Our tour of Costa Palmas began at the entrance to this 1000 acre project. After arriving to their recently completed beach club we met their team. The modern sleek style of the club has a distinctly Four Seasons feel.

The master plan is impressive. They are actively dredging the marina, carving out the golf course and building the hotel. Scheduled to open late this year they have 450 construction crew members making it happen.

The beach club will be the centerpiece of the residences and is complete with lounge, restaurant, bar, multiple pools and hot tubs, members locker rooms, spa and gym. The beach club is located above the sand dunes along the natural lagoon and overlooking the blue waters of the Sea of Cortez. It is also the sales office and design center where they will meticulously customize your baja home.

A long stretch of white sand beach is a great place for your family to play and enjoy the gentle waves and swim-friendly sea.

The residences come as either fully turn key or you can customize a private villa that you furnish yourself.

Starting price points for a marina condo is $1.9 million which come fully furnished and can be placed in their hotel rental program. Boat slips are available right in front of your residence for an additional price. 

On the other end of the spectrum are the private oceanfront villas. These are the pinnacle for homeowners with the wherewithal and desire for custom design. Various lot sizes are currently available with the top locations currently priced at $20 million. Expect $1,000 per sq ft building expense.

Turnkey furnished villas are available on the ocean, marina and golf course.

In addition to the beach club amenities members will enjoy a private yacht club, marina village, and a wide range of outdoor pursuits.

The Robert Trent Jones designed private club will offer 250 memberships for $100,000 and annual fees of $25,000. Golf is expected to open at the same time as the Four Seasons Hotel in late December 2018.

After our private tour with Erin we were getting pretty hungry so went back to the beach club and enjoyed an amazing fresh lunch and a couple of tasty margaritas, a fitting end to this amazing preview. 

We look forward to our next update later this year.

Top Fractional Ownership in Los Cabos

Deeded title fractional ownership is not timeshare and has the same options, closing services and closing costs as full ownership. In fact the only fractional ownership listings allowed on the multiple listings service must have a fideicomiso title and ownership can not be limited in duration. Here we explore the top fractional ownership options in Los Cabos.

The New Normal. 

Investors worldwide have embraced the idea of sharing the costs and benefits that fractional ownership allows. Whether you are buying into a fractional yacht, jet or vacation property, the advantages of owning only the amount of time you desire has become the new normal. 

First up is El Encanto de la Laguna.

This project is just east of Puerto Los Cabos marina and is considered the beginning of the East Cape. While only a short drive from San Jose, El Encanto feels like it’s a world away from Los Cabos. Your purchase is in two week increments and the time and unit is fixed. Starting at only $30,000 plus closing costs this is by far the most affordable fractional option. These two and three bedroom condos are within the gated community and have access to pools, beach club, restaurant and all the amenities of this well respected beach front community. The top end of the price range is a top floor three bedroom unit priced at $116,500 for the second half of November. The east Cape lifestyle is infectious with swimmable beaches, surfing, fishing, ATVs, turtle releases, horseback riding and a relaxed beachfront way of living.

Second on our list is Villa la Estancia right on Medano Beach. The current listings are from 1/8 to 1/4 share options. Starting with a 2 bedroom 6 week program priced at $129,000. This 2100 sq ft condo is in the heart of Cabo San Lucas. Owners share the unit and have a rotating calendar. 

The larger 3 bedroom 1/4 share units have huge decks, sweeping lands end views and range in price from $320,000 to $843,000. This is a true resort style option with plenty of amenities. Enjoy the fitness center, world class spa, casual outdoor dining, fine ding, marketplace, huge pools and hot tubs with a view.

Next up is Esperanza at Punta Ballena, an Auberge property that has Hotel, fractional and full ownership options. This gated community is a world class resort and the amenities are amazing. Starting at $105,000 for a two week increment in a two bedroom ocean view condo. These units are tastefully furnished with granite and marble, stainless appliances, generous outdoor living space and is managed like a 5 diamond resort. At the top end of the fractional option is a large 4 bedroom condo, 1/8th fraction for 6 weeks. Priced at $310,000 for 4500 sq feet of Cabo ownership. 

Our final option for fractional ownership is The Resort at Pedregal, located on southern most beach on the Baja. The grand entrance to this resort is thru a 1000 foot chandelier lit tunnel. This stunning arrival is eclipsed only by the feeling of serenity and opulence that the resort achieves. Fractional ownership here is in 6 week increments and range from $390,000 for a 3 bedroom unit to $440,000 for the four bedroom. All have commanding views. Owners are subject to rotating planned weeks and pay quarterly dues. Enjoy unprecedented 5 diamond amenities at one of the top resort residences in the world. The 3 bedroom 3.5 bath oceanfront villa is approx. 2800 sq ft of luxury living. The 4 bedroom 4.5 bath comes in at approx. 4,000 sq ft. Both have exceptional attention to detail and generous outdoor living space. The Resort at Pedregal has been voted the #1 resort in Mexico by Condé Nast and for good reason. Owners enjoy pre-arrival shopping, airport shuttle, 24 hr concierge and personal butlers with a legacy of sophistication and five diamond services.

All four of these amazing fractional ownership options offer Third Home as an exchange program. Members get access to over 9000 million dollar vacation properties in over 90 countries. So you don’t have to compromise with just one second home. Travel like a billionaire for a small fraction of the price.

See them all here. You can click on the top bar above the list and arrange them under Price as Ascending or Descending, or under Subdivision to group them in development categories together.

Aerial view, Villa Santa Cruz, Todos Santos BCS

If quaint boutique laid-back luxe on a surf beach is your desire, Villa Santa Cruz will exceed your expectations. Only 5 minutes from downtown Todos Santos but a world away from the lights and paved roads. 

This is the Baja that dreams are made of. Rarely do you encounter a vacation property that has an attention to detail so finely engrained that even their house tequila is custom labeled in a barrel. The property was purchased in 2001 and slowly developed into this unmistakably delightful retreat. With only four suites in this hacienda style home on acreage you wonder how they can offer so many amenities for such a modest price. The grounds are meticulously maintained. Rooms are each unique and what great, comfortable bedding. The towels and robes are lush. The pool area is just steps from the house and will make you forget about the gorgeous beach until you desire a surf session or a long walk down the beach. The double decked palapa has shaded hammocks on the beach and the second story is like its own living room in a tree house with views that seem endless. The home is a two story hacienda with comfortable shared living space on the ground level and the four separate suites on the second level. The stairs are an engineering marvel made of steel and glass tiles. The roof deck enjoys a bar, living area and a fire pit for those cooler desert evenings. Star gazing on the roof is perfect since there are no city lights, especially on evenings with no moon. The villa is so comfortable and well equipped that you won’t want to leave. We were planning a nice dinner in Todos Santos with plenty of exceptional options but decided to cook in and enjoy the place to ourselves. The open kitchen is a gourmet’s delight plus BBQ grill equipped with everything for a large or small group. Villa Santa Cruz is built on over 20 acres with plans to expand starting this June. 8 stilted cabanas are scheduled to be built surrounding the pool in a tasteful way that will continue to offer intimate privacy. This relaxed and casual atmosphere is popular for individuals, as a group retreat and for weddings.Breakfast is complimentary and was an event unto itself with coffee, fresh juice, bagels, cereals, and an amazing eggs Benedict. They rotate the menu so every morning brings a new option. We set up a late check out the next day and spent most of the morning bouncing between the second story palapa and the heated pool. Proprietors Matt and Jessica Canepa live on site in a separate home and are there for anything you need, obviously devoted to making your stay a wonderful experience. We were sad to pack up and actually drive away. Oakley our devoted mascot looked even sadder and had to be literally dragged back to the truck. Well every great stay comes to an end but the great news is we get to return and see the expansions underway. Stay tuned, we’ll keep you updated!

A morning run…

The mist is just starting to burn off this morning at 8am as I leave my condo to run down many flights of stairs, across the Cabo Bello Beach, up into the Welk resort and back up again. On my way out I see 2 sets of whales close to the shore. Yay. A brief pause on the stairs allows me to spot a lone dolphin in the small bay, probably looking for some tasty sushi for breakfast. This is another day in Cabo. Today will be another gorgeous sunny day. Paradise at some of it’s finest. 

Come share with us!
