Master-Planned Resort Community — The East Cape, Baja California Sur
A 1,500-acre master-planned community on the East Cape of Baja California Sur — where Four Seasons, Aman, and a 250-slip deep-water marina meet three kilometers of calm, swimmable Sea of Cortéz beachfront, just 45 minutes from Los Cabos airport, yet worlds away from anything the Corridor can offer.
Costa Palmas occupies one of the most exceptional pieces of undeveloped coastal land in North America: 1,500 acres on the East Cape of Baja California Sur, facing the calm, turquoise waters of the Sea of Cortéz, framed by the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains, bordered by golden sand dunes, freshwater estuaries, and working organic farms and orchards. The East Cape is Baja Sur at its most elemental — low-density, largely unspoiled, and defined by the quiet of a coastline that faces Mexico rather than the Pacific. Where the Los Cabos Corridor is built around Pacific surf and resort density, the East Cape offers something rarer: a calm, swimmable sea, an extraordinary marine environment, and a scale of natural landscape that resists compression. Costa Palmas is the only master-planned luxury community that has arrived to meet it.
Developed by the Irongate Group, the community is anchored by two of the world’s most respected hospitality brands. Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas — a 141-key, low-density resort that marks Four Seasons’ first presence in Baja — brought the brand’s matchless service and contemporary design sensibility to this previously undiscovered stretch of coastline. Alongside it, Amanvari — the name derived from the Sanskrit words for “peaceful water” — marks Aman’s first resort in Mexico, tucked between golden dunes and the estuary, framed by the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains. Together, these two properties represent a concentration of global hospitality prestige without parallel anywhere on the Baja Peninsula.
The residential offering spans the full spectrum of the Costa Palmas lifestyle. Four Seasons Private Residences and Villas are available in beachfront, marina, and golf course configurations, offering turn-key ownership under the Four Seasons Director of Residences with an optional rental program and a complete lock-and-leave service model. Amanvari Residences occupy a secluded estuary setting and are offered in four- to seven-bedroom configurations ranging from 13,000 to 20,000 square feet of covered indoor-outdoor living — among the most expansive and rarefied residential offerings in Baja. Casa Blake, the boutique hotel and condominium project at the heart of the Marina Village, adds a more social and playfully sophisticated ownership option at the center of community life. Custom home lots along the marina and beachfront are also available for those who wish to design and build entirely on their own terms. Properties range from $850,000 to over $40 million.
Costa Palmas is the only community in Mexico — and one of very few in the world — to bring both Four Seasons and Aman together within a single master plan. Four Seasons marks its first Baja presence here; Amanvari is the brand’s first resort in Mexico. For buyers who measure ownership in part by the brand architecture around them, there is no comparable address in Baja California Sur.
The Costa Palmas Marina is a full-service, 250-slip facility accommodating yachts up to 250 feet — the premier deep-water marina on the East Cape and the gateway to the Sea of Cortéz for serious boaters. The Marina Village surrounding it offers dining, retail, and gathering spaces, with the Yacht Club serving as the community’s social hub on the water, complete with charters, diving, sport fishing, and sailing.
The Costa Palmas Golf Club features an 18-hole championship course designed by Robert Trent Jones II that weaves from hillside to marina to beachfront, with panoramic views of the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains and the Sea of Cortéz at every turn. The course runs through the community’s gardens and orchards, creating a setting unlike any other championship layout in Baja.
Life at Costa Palmas is organized around a level of access to natural beauty and open water that the Corridor simply cannot replicate. Three kilometers of calm, swimmable Sea of Cortéz beachfront — a rarity in a region where most Pacific-facing shores are too rough for swimming — provides the foundational backdrop. The Beach & Yacht Club offers the community’s most comprehensive membership, connecting owners to the beach bar and beach club, the Golf Club, the Yacht Club in the Marina Village, the Aventura adventure program with dedicated guides and expedition coaches, and a Kids’ Club. Sailing to nearby islands, diving the coral gardens of Cabo Pulmo National Park (one of the healthiest coral reefs in the Pacific), snorkeling with whale sharks, deep-sea fishing, kayaking, and paddleboarding fill the days with the kind of unhurried, nature-led activity that defines the East Cape at its best.
The Marina Village brings a curated social dimension to the community — restaurants, boutiques, outdoor lounges, and waterfront gathering spaces designed around the rhythm of daily life on the water, including Chiki, a speakeasy and supper club by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio that blends Mexican culture with international glamour. Despite the breadth of its amenity offering, Costa Palmas maintains the quiet character of the East Cape: low-density, connected to working farms and orchards that supply its dining program, and set against a natural landscape that has not been sacrificed for development.
Costa Palmas draws buyers who have looked at the entirety of the Baja Peninsula and concluded that the East Cape represents something different — and increasingly irreplaceable. The convergence of Four Seasons and Aman within a single master plan, three kilometers of calm swimmable beachfront, a world-class deep-water marina, a Robert Trent Jones II golf course, and one of the most extraordinary natural settings in North America creates an ownership proposition that has no direct equivalent anywhere in Mexico.
It is particularly well suited for buyers who prize natural scale and privacy above resort density; for those whose interests run toward the sea — yachting, fishing, diving, open-water adventure — and who want the infrastructure to pursue those interests at the highest level; and for anyone who understands that the combination of what Costa Palmas offers and where it sits on Baja’s still largely undiscovered East Cape is, by the standards of any coastal real estate market in the world, genuinely rare.
