The 1,400-acre master-planned community in Los Cabos being developed by Ohana Real Estate Investors, LLC (Ohana) on the Golden Corridor between San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas in southern Baja, Mexico, is to be called Twin Dolphin. The name was chosen to pay homage to the former iconic Hotel Twin Dolphin, one of the first luxury hotels in Los Cabos, and the decision comes on the heels of many updates in the first half of 2016.
Spanning both sides of the Transpeninsular Highway and encompassing two of only a few swimmable beaches in Los Cabos, the community will include a resort hotel and residences, a private residential community, an 18-hole golf course, retail, additional residential homes, and more. All of these elements are approved, and development has been ongoing in phases within the community. Twin Dolphin is being thoughtfully developed to preserve and highlight the natural beauty of the land.
Maravilla Los Cabos is a currently active and operational private residential community spanning both Las Viudas Beach and the renowned Santa Maria Bay. Maravilla offers a variety of amenities for all generations to enjoy via its private club for owners as well as a range of residential options from custom homesites to fully turnkey built product.
Montage Los Cabos and Montage Residences Los Cabos are currently under development on the shores of Santa Maria Bay with a planned opening in early 2018. Montage Hotels & Resorts has a proven track record of providing the highest level of luxury service and amenities with 10 Forbes Five Star awards in the past two years alone, and has been providing personalized ownership services to Montage Residences owners since 2003.
The Twin Dolphin community will also feature a newly announced 18-hole Fred Couples Signature Golf Course with a planned opening in 2018 and views of the Sea of Cortez from its perched location. Residents within the Twin Dolphin community will have the opportunity to join the Twin Dolphin Golf Club, and the course will also be available to Montage Los Cabos resort guests.
“Honoring the natural environment has been important to us every step of the way,” said Alex Hill, executive vice president of development, Ohana Real Estate Investors. “We have made thoughtful choices at each turn, such as native landscaping that includes saving and replanting over 40,000 plants, a state-of-the-art reverse osmosis desalination plant, building design that conserves energy and highlights indoor-outdoor experiences, and plans for developing an eco-friendly golf course.”
Recent improvements to the Twin Dolphin community include Santa Maria Bay Beach being awarded the international Blue Flag Certification designation that involves meeting strict criteria for water quality, environmental management and education, safety and services, as well as a new Transpeninsular Highway on-and-off ramp system improving accessibility to the community and the two swimmable beaches.
