Chileno Bay Guide
CHILENO BAY
Where the Only Coral Reef
in Los Cabos Meets Private Club Excellence
Chileno Bay Golf & Beach Club is the most complete and exclusive private members-only residential community in Los Cabos, spanning 1,260 acres of coastline, hillside, and desert terrain at KM 15 of the Tourist Corridor. Developed by Discovery Land Company — the Scottsdale-based firm behind 38 elite private communities worldwide including the Yellowstone Club, El Dorado, Gozzer Ranch, and Summit Club — Chileno Bay is a masterwork of luxury living where natural beauty, cultural depth, and world-class recreation converge.
What sets Chileno Bay apart from every other community in Los Cabos is a geographical distinction that cannot be replicated: it sits on Chileno Beach, the only year-round swimmable beach in Los Cabos due to its protected cove formation, certified with the Blue Flag designation for water quality. More critically, Chileno Beach harbors the only coral reef in all of Los Cabos. Snorkelers reach the reef within 20 yards of shore — where visibility reaches 51–60 feet and a thriving ecosystem of sea turtles, king angelfish, and the Cortez angelfish (found nowhere else on the planet) awaits beneath the surface.
The community operates on two connected levels: the Discovery Land-developed private club (599 residences, two Tom Fazio golf courses, private Beach Club), and the Auberge Resorts Collection-managed hotel (95 guest rooms + 61 villas available for purchase), which bridges private club exclusivity with five-star hospitality — including a rental income program for villa owners when not in residence.
“Until the mid-20th century, Chileno Bay was an untouched shore. Hollywood legends like Bing Crosby and John Wayne visited the Hotel Cabo San Lucas built on its bluffs. Today, those same bluffs are Chileno Point — the most coveted real estate address in all of Baja.”
Centered between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo on the most sought-after stretch of the Cabo Corridor.
Irreplaceable Location,
Irreplaceable Amenity
No other residential community in Los Cabos combines a Discovery Land master plan (the global gold standard for private clubs), a Blue Flag swimmable beach, the only coral reef in the region, and an Auberge Resorts Collection hotel with a managed rental program within the same gates. These are structural factors — not cyclical ones — that support a permanent investment thesis.
Real estate at Chileno Bay continues to show strong appreciation year over year. With limited inventory across 9 distinct residential neighborhoods (from 2,769 sq ft beach casitas to estates over 13,000 sq ft), rising HNWI demand, and continued infrastructure investment by Discovery Land, value compounds with each new phase. The Auberge rental program generates managed income for owners during periods of non-residence — particularly compelling given Chileno Beach’s year-round swimmability and rare marine ecology.
Chileno Beach is one of the very few year-round swimmable beaches in Los Cabos — and the only one in the region harboring a live coral reef. This irreplaceable natural feature cannot be built, bought, or replicated anywhere else in Baja California Sur.
Three Irreplaceable Anchors
Two private 18-hole Tom Fazio-designed courses, exclusively for members and their guests, make Chileno Bay one of the finest golf addresses in Latin America. The championship course (par 72, 7,260 yards) delivers Sea of Cortez views from every hole with the Sierra de la Laguna mountains as a backdrop — and a legendary par-4 18th with an infinity green that seems to dissolve into the ocean. A second Fazio course is under construction (first 9 holes already in play), plus a lit 6-hole short course for family evenings.
Chileno Beach holds Blue Flag certification for water quality — one of the very few beaches in Los Cabos swimmable 365 days a year due to its protected cove formation. Below the surface lies the only coral reef in Los Cabos: 20 yards from shore, visibility of 51–60 feet, with sea turtles, king angelfish, and the Cortez angelfish — a species found nowhere else on Earth. The H2O Cave sports center provides snorkeling, kayaks, paddleboards, and guided reef dives directly from the beach.
The Chileno Bay Resort & Residences, managed by Auberge Resorts Collection, operates on 23 acres within the Discovery Land master plan with 95 guest rooms and 61 villas available for purchase. It delivers five-star concierge, spa services, and dining to all owners through a unique Auberge-within-Discovery structure found nowhere else in Los Cabos. Villa owners access the managed rental program — generating income when not in residence while Auberge handles all guest operations.
