The long rich history of the Bulnes family cultivates with their multi-generation development Rancho San Lucas on the Pacific side of Los Cabos.

The vision of the father is being realized by his family. They have steadfastly followed in the tradition of grand design, meticulous grounds, and generous services creating this place of relaxed solace. What has been learned over a 50-year study in award-winning resorts in Cabo has been applied to this grand project. Just over 5 miles from Cabo to the entrance makes it easy to get to but feels far removed from the bustle of the busy resort town.

Rancho San Lucas is yet another large master-planned community with a mixed-use of properties and amenities. The Grand Solmar at Rancho is the flagship resort and sister property to GS Land’s End Resort. Grand Solmar offers a family-oriented beachfront community resort and a separate Private residence club called the Residences. In addition to the resort there are many full ownership options from the Greg Norman Estates homes, condos and then the mid-priced Villas with commanding views of the whole community from the elevated perches along the golf course. This isn’t just any golf course but the award-winning Greg Norman Links style course with each unique hole enjoying ocean views. The clubhouse, practice facilities, and services are top-notch. I was able to get a nice round in and am happy to resort to a par of the challenging #17 island hole. After my round, it was so nice to hit the pool and hot tubs and savor another amazing meal at one of the fine restaurants.

We booked our week staying at a 3 bedroom penthouse on the Residences side of the resort. This oversized penthouse was simply huge with a great open design with the kitchen and half-moon island bar being the soul of the living area. The massive U-shaped couch was plenty spacious for our group. It can sleep up to 10 so our 4 adults plus Oakley were all very happy and content. We enjoyed the master suite with the open corner sliders, huge comfortable king bed, walk-in closet, oversized shower with tub. All three of the bedrooms had en-suite baths and opened onto private decks with killer views. Being Christmas week we were entertained by whale sightings the whole week.

We enjoyed the adult pool with a nice swim-up pool bar and restaurant with large built-in tables in the heated adult pool. So relaxing and quiet but close enough to the resort side amenities. With the various restaurants, bars, multiple pools, cabanas, and lagoon. It took a few days to discover all the offerings including a poolside spa with thatched cabana treatment huts, fountains, water treatments, and all the spoils of a world-class spa. Don’t worry about the kids of all ages who will absolutely love the water park with giant slides, rope swings, water features, fountains, kayaks, and SUP boards. For relaxing poolside, there are plenty of style loungers, shaded areas, private cabanas, and their signature Balinese Cabanas. Dip in one of the various hot tubs, heated pools or cool off in the lagoon, the choice of temperature is yours.

The staff was obviously well trained and a joy to be around. They made us feel at home especially with their dog-friendly rules. They brought Oakley his own bed and food and water bowls.

We had the opportunity to take the free shuttle to their amazing Land’s End resort but opted to stay put since we had everything we needed right outside our door. We also took them up on their All-Inclusive option for 4 of our days and took advantage of the well-equipped chef’s kitchen as well.

Overall we really enjoyed this week at Rancho San Lucas. The service levels were outstanding and the staff was very attentive to all of our needs. We look forward to bringing you these informative videos on the very finest Los Cabos has to offer.

Amazing Chileno Bay Golf & Beach Club Los CabosJoin us as we take you inside this exclusive private club and show you what makes it is so special.

Chileno Bay Golf and Beach Club encompasses 1200 acres of unsurpassed natural desert terrain where the stars of the project are the guarded coral reef bay, the Tom Fazio private golf course, and the luxurious beach clubs. With 400 modern residences authentically designed to inspire outdoor living, this is truly one of the finest developments in North America.

The history of this location is impressive. This amazing destination was one of the very first hotels in Los Cabos, The Hotel Cabo San Lucas owned by the legendary Cabo pioneer William Bud Parr. It was more of a private social club than a hotel with luminary Hollywood stars like John Wayne and Bing Crosby. Although the original hotel has been replaced by the gorgeous beach club, the essence and intimate relaxed spirit remain.

Los Cabos has seen a rapid acceleration of new high-end residences. Here at Chileno Bay sales have been brisk and there are only a few lots and residences available. Phase one has completely sold out and they are rapidly selling phase two. Prices are steep and more in line with Maui or Malibu and for good reason. The developer Discovery Land Company combines their private golf, swimmable beaches, coral reef, beach clubs, hiking and biking trails, organic farm, and fitness lifestyle where every generation can enjoy the barefoot luxury of Chileno Bay.

Be among the first to secure your place at the Hillside villas. Wake up perched above the dramatic coast directly above the reef with sweeping views to the southeast with spectacular sunrises. Within an easy walk to the calm glass beach club and biking and hiking trails. Featuring multiple floor plans on two levels with private pools. This group of exclusive hillside villas is inspired by Mediterranean elegance and outdoor panoramas.

Another option is securing a lot at the Ridge Estates. These three to five-bedroom modern designed homes are influenced by family-friendly hacienda-style design. With sunny floor-to-ceiling glass doors that bring the outside in with sweeping and romantic vistas. Ridge lot 24 is just over 1/2 an acre and can accommodate a large single-level home and is currently being offered at $4.5 million.

There are three remaining lots on the coveted South Coast. These 23 oversized custom lots are well spaced and lend privacy and dramatic vistas. The craggy shoreline is accessed by the new south coast road that encircles phase two. South Coast lot 7 is oceanfront and is being offered at $10.5 million. Lot 9 is also oceanfront and has direct access to a small cove and is offered at $11 million.

And finally, for the ultimate indulgence, there is La Privada. This just may be the finest community within a community in Los Cabos. With only 7 oversized custom lots directly on Baby Beach and with swim out your door to the Chileno reef, this is the ultimate Cabo address. Double lot 1 & 2 is the original homestead of the Parr family and is being offered for the jaw-dropping price of $32 million dollars.

In an area that is renowned for high-end luxury developments, Chileno Bay Golf and Beach Club is certainly one of the finest addresses in all of Los Cabos.
