One of the most exciting new projects in La Paz is Paraiso
del Mar, a 1,700-acre residential and recreational development, where 1,000
acres have been set aside for wildlife sanctuaries and open space. The remaining
700 acres will be used for residential units—including single-family homes and
condominiums—as well as resort hotels and recreational amenities.

(Click on image to enlarge.)A 10-year project in the making, with its first phase due for completion in spring 2006, Paraiso del Mar will eventually include more than 2,000 condominium units (built with stucco exteriors and handmade clay-tile roofs), 1,500 single-family homes and five hotels, totaling 1,500 hotel rooms. It will also offer two Arthur Hills–designed golf courses (the first of which will be ready in spring 2006), tennis courts, swimming pools, a marina, beach club, country club, a church and miles of hiking trails. The property faces the Gulf of California, whose waters are famous for hosting more than 800 species of marine fauna. Swimming with sea lions, whale watching and kayaking are favorite pastimes for locals. Roughly 250 condos and homes will be completed by spring 2006, ranging in price from the low $200,000s to more than $650,000. Owners have the option of buying a golf membership for $20,000 that offers access to all club amenities and the courses.
