Living in Los Cabos

For many, Los Cabos, or “the capes”, symbolizes world-class golf, spectacular sport fishing, year-round comfortable weather, endless sandy beaches, and perfect blue waters – and that is just the start of it. Look deeper into the Los Cabos region and you will discover a diverse terrain, unique water species, incredible history, fascinating culture, and exciting adventures and activities. With all this at your fingertips, Los Cabos is a destination for a new way of living, rather than just a vacation stay or second home location.

For decades, visitors had very little to choose from in Los Cabos: only a few hotels, a small fleet of fishing boats and barely an airport. Now, the word has got out about this easily accessible, natural paradise, with its rich history and culture, and the Southern Baja has flourished into the active playground of the south.

The Baja is a 1,100 mile-long peninsula that stretches south from California. It is home to one of the largest salt mines in the world. The soaring Sierra Mountain ranges rise 7,893 feet and feature waterfalls, hot springs and the third most prominent location of cave paintings and fossilized rock that bring you back to pre-historic times. You can also live in the moment with desert off-road racing, a dive into the Black Coral Reefs of the National Marine Park in Cabo Pulmo, fly fishing at Loreto Bay, and whale watching and petting in Bahía de Magdalena. Two hours north of Los Cabos International Airport is La Paz, the state’s capital city, where sailing is at its finest.

Developers recognize the diversity of the region and create master-planned communities which benefit from the unique Baja scenery. What you find in the Baja Península and Los Cabos is like no other place in México. Come see the rolling mountain landscape for yourself. Experience the warm desert climate and cool summer breezes off the Sea of Cortez and Pacific coast.
