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.
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.
