LOS CABOS LUXURY

By Liza Mencarini

It’s the land of salt and sea, surf and sand and where rugged desert mountains meet the crystal clear waters. There’s truly no place on Earth like Los Cabos, Mexico.

Los Cabos has become a top destination for vacation home buyers, with the market ramping back up to pre-recession prices and sales pace. For resort-goers, the town is booming, with 22 new resort openings in 2017, including luxury brands such as The Four Seasons, Nobu and Auberge. With a mix of beautiful scenery, fresh seafood, and warm, welcoming people, those looking for a second home have their eyes set on the Baja California Peninsula. What’s more, top-notch health care, low property taxes, and worry-free living—including security and property management—make Cabo even more attractive.

Rising to the top of Cabo’s luxury real estate market is Querencia – the region’s only truly private gated community. Set atop the highest point in sunny San Jose del Cabo, Querencia is a 1,800-acre gated enclave that features a vast assortment of residences with expansive views of Mexico’s sparkling Sea of Cortez.

There’s nothing like the tranquility that you get from Querencia. The gorgeous master-planned community combines luxury real estate with resort amenities, offering a variety of home sites, modern condos, lavish villas, and custom homes—providing plenty of options for every prospective home buyer.

Querencia has become the top luxury community in Cabo, and here are the reasons Querencia (and Cabo!) is hotter than ever.

SUNSHINE YEAR ROUND

The year-round sunshine and fresh ocean air of Los Cabos offer a paradise for those who want to escape the cold weather or love to stay active. Visitors can readily enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking (Querencia alone is home to a network of trails), swimming, scuba diving, surfing, paddle boarding and sports fishing nearly any time of year.

For the golf enthusiast, Querencia is home to a world-renowned 18-hole Tom Fazio Signature Course. Ranked one of the Top 100 courses in the world and awarded “Golf Destination of the Year” by the International Association of Golf Tour Operators, the spectacular course is a captivating mix of desert bluffs, elevation changes, and awe-inspiring shoreline views.

Residents also enjoy the Q Club—the community’s 58,000 square-foot clubhouse—which is the heart and soul of Querencia. The Q Club offers world-class amenities, including a multitude of top fine dining options, a wine cellar, business center, game room and full concierge.

For the health aficionado, the club has a state-of-the-art fitness center with a yoga pavilion. There’s also various aquatic amenities—including a lap pool, infinity pool, kids pool, and Jacuzzis—all boasting stunning ocean vistas. For those seeking a peaceful day of relaxation, there’s a full-service spa, fully equipped with a sauna, steam room, treatment rooms, beauty salon and barber shop.

UNPARALLELED VIEWS

Whether it is a ready-made, turnkey property, or a “custom” luxury dream home, Cabo offers endless real estate options. At Querencia, the selection of homes and condos feature the finest luxury furnishings and amenities, while home sites offer a blank canvas for buyers to stroke their genius designs alongside world-class builders and architects.

One of the main highlights is the unobstructed Sea of Cortez views. With water surrounding three sides of the region, there is no shortage of beachfront real estate to experience in Los Cabos and Baja California Sur. Querencia offers breathtaking views of the ocean, and the soon-to-open Ocean Club will allow residents unprecedented access to extensive water experiences in Acapulquito, one of Cabo’s most acclaimed surf beaches.

Recently, Querencia announced the new phase of the popular Verandas luxury condominiums, which offer two-, three- and four-bedroom layouts with spacious gourmet kitchens, breezy open-air terraces, expansive master suites and custom finishes and upgrades. The community also unveiled its newest neighborhood, Las Laderas, which features 14 single-family homes that offer contemporary design, modern amenities, and spectacular sea and golf course views.

FAMILY FRIENDLY

Los Cabos is evolving into a destination—and even a year-round home—for the entire family. New movie theaters, art and music festivals, parks and nature exhibits offer entertainment for all ages. At Querencia, the Kids Club is always a favorite hangout spot. Likewise, the luxury buyer demographic now includes Gen-X and even Millennials.

San Jose del Cabo is one of the most picturesque places in the world, and Querencia is the top community to experience the private and exclusive side of Cabo.
