About the location

Laid‑back luxury meets bucket‑list adventure on this undiscovered east cape of Los Cabo. A place for those with a taste for the undiscovered and the extraordinary, our East Cape location on Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula is the epicentre for adventure. Swim in the most expansive beach in Los Cabos or set sail from our private marina on the Sea of Cortez, coined “the aquarium of the world” by famed oceanographer Jacques Cousteau.

About Four Seasons Resort and Residences Los Cabos at Costa Palmas

Four Seasons Resort and Residences Los Cabos, at Costa Palmas, located in LA RIBERA, will be part of the exclusive Costa Palmas resort community, which will also include a private marina and a members‑only beach and yacht club, all situated along a two‑mile stretch of pristine white sand and the warm, swimmable waters of the Sea of Cortez.
