Cabo del Sol Real Estate
A private, master-planned resort community on the Sea of Cortez — two championship golf courses, a rare swimmable beach, and branded residences from Four Seasons and Park Hyatt. Here is everything you need to know before you buy.
One of the last truly swimmable stretches of coast in Los Cabos
Cabo del Sol sits on the Cabo Corridor, the twenty-mile ribbon of coastline between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo. Most of that coastline has powerful surf and steep drop-offs. Cabo del Sol has a protected cove — which is why the resorts chose it, and why the real estate holds its value.
The community is gated and staffed around the clock, with roughly nine distinct neighborhoods inside its boundary. They range from four-bedroom golf villas in the low $2 millions to oceanfront estates in the Cove Club that have traded as high as $18.7 million. It is a genuinely wide market inside a single gate — unusual in Los Cabos, and useful if you are still deciding on budget.
- Roughly 20 minutes from Los Cabos International Airport (SJD)
- Gated with 24/7 manned security and controlled beach access
- Four Seasons and Park Hyatt branded residences on site
- Rental-friendly — strong nightly-rate performance on the corridor
- Fideicomiso bank trust available to all foreign buyers
The Neighborhoods of Cabo del Sol
Cabo del Sol is not one product. Each enclave has its own price band, HOA structure and character. Price ranges below reflect closed sales and current asking prices from the Los Cabos MLS.
Cove Club
The private club at the heart of the community. Reef Club Villas, Ocean Estates and bungalows sitting directly above the swimmable cove. The highest sale ever recorded in Cabo del Sol closed here.
Explore Cove Club
Park Hyatt & Puerta del Sol
Branded residences with full hotel services, rental management and the highest median sale price in the community. Also home to Puerta del Sol condominiums at a far more accessible entry point.
Explore Park Hyatt
Four Seasons Private Residences
The newest branded inventory in Cabo del Sol. Full Four Seasons service, residence-owner privileges and the shortest walk to the beach club of anything inside the gates.
Explore Four Seasons
Las Colinas
Elevated custom homes on the hillside with long ocean views over the Ocean Course. Larger lots and more architectural freedom than the villa enclaves below.

Las Brisas
One of the most liquid pockets in the community and often the smartest entry point. Recent closings from $2 million, with larger custom builds reaching the high fives.
Explore Las Brisas
Las Posadas
The busiest neighborhood in Cabo del Sol by transaction count over the past three years. Classic hacienda-style villas, mature landscaping, and a genuine resale market.
Explore Las Posadas
Vista Azul
A compact enclave of ocean-view homes that trades consistently in the low-to-mid range. Popular with buyers who want a view without an oceanfront price.
Explore Vista Azul
La Riviera
A small, tightly held estate enclave adjoining the Cove Club. Very few homes, very few sales — when one comes up it moves quickly and quietly.
Explore La Riviera
El Peñón
Perched hillside homesites with dramatic elevation and privacy. Limited inventory and a strong hold rate among owners.
Explore El PeñónTwo Courses That Built the Community
Cabo del Sol was planned around its golf. The routing came first; the real estate was laid out around it. That is why so many homes here open directly onto fairway or ocean rather than onto other homes.
The Ocean Course
Designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in 1994, the Ocean Course is the reason
Cabo del Sol appears on international golf lists. Nicklaus described its closing
stretch as the three finest finishing holes in golf
— seven holes in
total play along the Sea of Cortez.
For buyers, the practical point is simpler: Ocean Course frontage is the single biggest driver of price variance inside the community, ahead of square footage.
The Cove Club & Second Course
The community's second course and private club anchor the western side of Cabo del Sol. Membership structures here are separate from HOA dues and are worth understanding before you write an offer — they vary meaningfully between neighborhoods and are not always transferable on resale.
I cover current membership tiers, transfer rules and dues in the community guide below.

The Beach
A protected, genuinely swimmable cove — rare on this coastline. Beach clubs, palapas and calm water suitable for children.
Dining & Resorts
Resort restaurants on site, with the full range of Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo dining 15–25 minutes in either direction.
Security
Single controlled entry, 24-hour manned gate and roving patrols. A significant share of owners are non-resident and leave homes vacant for months.
Rental Income
Branded residences offer managed rental programs. Independent villas rent well in high season, though HOA rules on short-term rental vary by enclave.

Yes, you can own here — and it is simpler than you think
Cabo del Sol falls inside Mexico's restricted zone, the strip within 50 km of the coast where foreigners cannot hold direct title. That sounds alarming and is not. Foreign buyers take ownership through a fideicomiso — a renewable bank trust in which a Mexican bank holds title as trustee while you hold every right of ownership: to occupy, renovate, rent, sell, or leave it to your heirs.
The trust runs 50 years and is renewable indefinitely. Setup typically runs a few thousand dollars with an annual maintenance fee. Alternatively, buyers purchasing for rental income sometimes hold through a Mexican corporation instead — which one is right depends on how you intend to use the property, and it is worth deciding before you make an offer rather than after.
Budget roughly 5–8% of the purchase price in closing costs as a buyer: acquisition tax, notary fees, trust setup, and registry. Sellers carry the brokerage commission.
