With its prime location just steps away from downtown Cabo San Lucas, Hacienda offers the opportunity of ownership in a luxury residential community with resort amenities and an enduring connection to this enticing region at the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula.

Located on 22 magnificent acres, including 1,800 lineal feet of beachfront at Medano Beach, Hacienda occupies one of Cabo’s most scenic settings, looking directly out on the iconic rock formations of Land’s End, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez. It is the site of the former Hacienda Hotel, one of the first hotels in the Cabo area. Over the years, the hotel attracted a variety of well-known visitors, among them developer Don Koll, who with friend and actor John Wayne, flew in regularly for deep-sea fishing excursions in the nearby waters.

And now the Koll Company, along with Starwood Capital, a global leader in real estate investments, and Del Mar Development, which has launched some of the most acclaimed luxury communities in Cabo San Lucas, have partnered to create Hacienda. Sculptures, fountains and other architectural pieces from the former Hacienda Hotel are located throughout the property, including the hotel’s famous bells, which in longstanding tradition, rang out to bring in the New Year.

Hacienda’s 109 homes offer three distinct styles: Two-story detached beach front villas, view-oriented attached resort residences, and spectacular penthouses atop three buildings that range from five to six stories. The 16 beach front four-bedroom villas are quite literally at the water’s edge, with 3,200 square feet of interior living space and ample outdoor areas for dining al fresco or relaxing in infinity edged private plunge pools. Directly behind these villas, the 93 ocean-view residences range in size from 900-squarefoot, one-bedroom homes to 3,700-square-foot, four-bedroom penthouses. All residences have private balconies, patios or terraces, and wood beamed ceilings, along with top-of-the-line appliances, granite countertops and generous soaking tubs.

The architectural team behind Hacienda went to exceptional lengths to make sure every residence enjoys a grand view of the natural surroundings. It also

put considerable thought into the overall design of the property, creating a village-like atmosphere with a spectacular beach club at its center that serves as a meeting place and instills a true sense of community among residents and guests. Those seeking exceptional cuisine are in good hands at the club’s restaurant, which features a contemporary regional Mexican menu that sets it apart from other dining venues.

Adjacent to the restaurant, a palapa bar, with its casual thatched-roof setting, offers the ideal spot for sunset aperitifs or after-dinner cocktails.

Hacienda’s full-service spa features four treatment cottages, including two spa suites for couples, a sauna, a steam room, hot and cold plunge pool, and a menu of rejuvenating treatments and therapies steeped in Mexican traditions and rituals of renewal. And Hacienda’s fitness pavilion, staffed with a team of attentive trainers, offers Pilates, cardio, spinning, and weight-training equipment.

All this is just a short walk from the bustling waterfront of Cabo San Lucas with its 30-plus restaurants and lounges, branded retail shopping at the newly open Luxury Avenue, and active marina offering charters for yachting, deep-sea fishing and sailing. Hacenda’s concierge staff can also arrange preferred tee times at nearby courses, which include some of the world’s top-rated facilities.

Homes at Hacienda range from $700,000 for the one-bedroom residences to $5.3 million for the beach front villas. The community also offers a rental program, with rates starting at $500 per night.
