When the master plan for Costa Palmas resort in Cabo’s East Cape was first created, no detail was spared when it came to ensuring that guests would have an elite luxury experience. This is especially true of the Marina Village, which was designed to accommodate guests who wanted to bring their own vessels to the seaside retreat.
It’s certainly hard to imagine that the 1,000-acre private community of Costa Palmas can be improved upon. The secluded oasis boasts a beach and yacht club, extravagant seaside residences, a two-mile stretch of swimmable beach, an exquisite golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones II, multiple upscale restaurants led by world-renowned chefs, and the enchanting Four Seasons Resort & Residences. But Marina Village is doing just that.
Here are some highlights from Marina Village, including the amenities that come from owning a home in Costa Palmas:
The Marina
The East Cape is home to very few choices for yacht-owners, making Costa Palmas marina a much-needed option. Designed to host more than 250 motor yachts (and some superyachts, up to 250 feet long), sailboats, and fishing vessels, the full-service port allows explorers to stretch their sea legs just steps from where they’ve moored.
Didn’t bring your own boat? There are multiple ways to explore the Sea of Cortez in style.
Charter a deep-sea fishing boat, complete with seasoned captains who can take you out to catch your big prize. Head out as a guest on a cruise at sunset to marvel at the night sky without lifting a finger. Cool off on a wakeboard or tube behind a MasterCraft to experience the watersport experience of a lifetime.
Mozza Baja
The courtyard of Marina Village at Costa Palmas is flanked by Mozza Baja, a contemporary restaurant led by Chef Nancy Silverton.
Chef Silverton’s accolades are long, with highlights that include winning the James Beard Foundation’s Outstanding Chef Award, writing eight cookbooks, and serving as a guest on Netflix’s Chef’s Table. Like her other restaurants, Marina Village’s Mozza will likely draw a crowd simply based on name recognition, which reflects exceptional food, service, and ambiance.
Mozza is centered around a hand-built wood-fired oven but offers far more than just pizzas. Guests will also be able to enjoy antipasto, octopus salad, mussels, porcini rib eye, and meatballs al forno, to name a few menu items.
With immediate access to freshly caught seafood, organic orchards, regional wines and tequilas, and nearby farms and ranches, Marina Village visitors are guaranteed some of the freshest cuisine on the planet.
Beyond the private dining room and bar counter, visitors to Mozza Baja will be able to enjoy the outdoor lounge. The lounge features firepits, shade umbrellas, and plenty of seating, as well as views of incoming and outgoing boats.
Casena
Casena is named after one of the first families that settled in the Baja Peninsula. It is the first retail store in Marina Village. Shoppers can purchase the best that the region has to offer. For example, designer and artisan apparel, handcrafted home goods, pantry staples, fresh-baked pastries, and coffee made from Mexico’s best beans.
Boasting an open-air concept with tile floors, Mexican-inspired architecture, and carefully curated design features and fixtures, Casena’s elegance and simplicity is just what Costa Palmas is counting on to set the tone for future shops at Marina Village.
Costa Palmas amenities
The Costa Palmas property has so much to offer, including:
● Costa Palmas Beach & Yacht Club
Those who purchase a home on the marina, or at any of the other Four Seasons or Amanvari (whose resort and residences are currently under construction) properties will be invited to join the prestigious Costa Palmas Beach & Yacht Club. This legacy membership offers extended privileges to the entire family.
Members of this club have access to 50,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor spaces for lounging, swimming, and socializing. In addition, you can grab a bite at the restaurant or a cocktail at the bar. Work out in the gym while the kids swim in the pools or catch a movie at the on-site theater.
● Kids Club
Don’t worry about keeping the younger members of the family entertained; the Kids Club is designed to hold the interest of even the most seasoned adventurer. From sailing and surf camp to cooking classes and arts and crafts, there’s exploring to be done on the land and sea at Costa Palmas.
Of course, kids aren’t the only ones who seek out excitement when they’re submersed in nature’s paradise.
● Adventura team
The Aventura team is made up of guides, coaches, and mentors. They will get to know your tastes, interests, and level of curiosity to try new experiences or repeat your favorites. Why not learn how to kitesurf or improve your wakeboard skills? Local experts can take you to new snorkeling spots or take the ultimate plunge by scuba diving at Cabo Pulmo. Cabo Pulmo is one of the best diving locales on the planet due to its long-living coral reefs.
● Championship golf course
Play a round of golf at the 18-hole course, which boasts views of the beach, marina, and mountains. In addition, you can opt for the 30,000-square-foot social putting green, the short-game area, or the six-hole, par-3 course.
● Spa services
Prefer to get pampered? The salon and spa offers everything you could need to unwind in style: Massages, facials, body scrubs, mani-pedis, and more. There are even wellness treatments that can help you get centered before you return to the world feeling renewed. Treatments such as yoga, Reiki, guided meditation, and breathwork.
More to come
Certainly, as Marina Village continues to fill its prime real estate with high-end boutiques, a nightclub, additional signature and casual dining venues, the appeal of Costa Palmas’ newest port of call will continue to grow.
For now, those lucky enough to experience the well-kept secret can simply enjoy a stroll along the seaside walkways, enjoy live music in the comfortable outdoor seating areas, and sip wine to the backdrop of sailboats and panoramic vistas.
