On the southernmost tip of Baja California Sur, facing the deep blue Pacific Ocean, is Los Cabos, Mexico. Why be anywhere else when you could be sipping on a tropical drink with the sun shining down, your feet ankle-deep in the Pacific Ocean? Luckily, there is an abundance of communities in Cabo that have everything you could want in a vacation or retirement home.
Querencia
Just a few miles from beautiful Costa Azul Beach is Querencia, a private beach and golf club. If you want to spend your vacations golfing, this is the location for you! Querencia Golf Club is massive; their 18-hole, 72-par course is over 300 acres, and the driving range has over 400 yards of driveable space. Tee-times are 12 minutes apart, ensuring that your round of golf is as relaxed as it is challenging. Take your time during your game, and enjoy the gorgeous views — the perfectly green course has mountains on one side and the ocean just beyond the rough.
Palmilla
The town of Palmilla is beachside and offers all the shopping and amenities that one could want. There is also the Palmilla Golf Club, which is a stunning course in its own right, recognized as "Grand Dame of Los Cabos Golf." Golf the 27 holes among the cacti and admire the contrast of the ocean blue against the lush green of the golf course. Playa Palmilla is one of the longest beaches around, but it is still a little-known attraction due to the residential area between the highway and the beach.
Palmilla Cabo homes for sale have everything nearby. The Shoppes at Palmilla offers convenient shopping options with boutiques and dining; you can golf, shop, eat at restaurants, go to the pool, and go to the beach all in the same day because of the proximity of all of these amenities. If you’re not interested in living in a gated community like Querencia, but would prefer a more communal living situation where you feel like you’re part of the Cabo community, then Palmilla Cabo homes for sale are for you.
