Everything you need to know about buying premium real estate at the tip of the Baja California Peninsula — one of Mexico's most coveted destinations.
Los Cabos — comprising Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo — sits at the southern tip of Baja California Sur, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez. This unique geography creates a microclimate with over 350 days of sunshine per year, world-class fishing, and some of the most dramatic ocean views on the continent. It is precisely this combination of natural beauty, accessibility, and infrastructure that has made Los Cabos the fastest-growing luxury real estate market in Latin America.
International buyers — primarily from the United States, Canada, and Europe — have steadily increased their investment in Los Cabos over the past decade. The region's proximity to major U.S. cities (a 2–3 hour flight from Los Angeles, Phoenix, or Houston), combined with Mexico's favorable property ownership laws for foreign nationals, makes it an exceptionally attractive destination for lifestyle investment.
Foreign buyers can legally purchase property in Los Cabos through a bank trust (fideicomiso) or a Mexican corporation, both of which provide full ownership rights. The legal framework is well established, and most transactions are handled by experienced bilingual notaries and real estate attorneys.
El Tezal is a master-planned corridor situated on the hills between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, offering elevated panoramic views of both the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez simultaneously. This hillside enclave has emerged as one of the most desirable addresses in all of Los Cabos, attracting high-end residential developments, boutique hotels, and world-class golf courses.
Properties in El Tezal command premium valuations due to their unobstructed vistas, proximity to the marina and downtown Cabo, and the quality of surrounding infrastructure. The area benefits from excellent road access, reliable utilities, and a growing ecosystem of restaurants, spas, and lifestyle amenities within minutes of every residence.
Lumaria is a luxury residential development by Grupo Solaria located in El Tezal, Cabo San Lucas. Composed of three towers — Cortés, Pacífico, and Cerralvo — the project offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences ranging from 80 to 235 square meters, each delivered fully turnkey with premium finishes.
Every residence at Lumaria features expansive terraces, open-concept layouts, and floor-to-ceiling glazing designed to frame the iconic views of El Arco, the Baja mountain range, and the dual-ocean horizon. Residents have access to resort-style amenities including an infinity pool, fully equipped gymnasium, rooftop garden terraces, concierge services, and curated social spaces.
Prices at Lumaria start from $395,000 USD for a one-bedroom residence and extend to over $800,000 USD for premium three-bedroom corner units with garden terraces. The development is designed to serve as a primary residence, vacation home, or income-generating vacation rental asset — making it one of the most versatile luxury offerings in the Los Cabos market today.
Los Cabos welcomed over 3.5 million international visitors in 2024, with luxury short-term rentals consistently outperforming hotel inventory in occupancy rates and nightly rates during peak season (October through May). Properties in premium hillside locations with ocean views command some of the highest average daily rates in the region, making Lumaria residences a compelling candidate for vacation rental returns.
Grupo Solaria offers optional rental management programs for Lumaria owners who wish to participate in the short-term rental market while maintaining personal use flexibility. With a strong track record from their previous development, Solaria Los Cabos, the team brings deep operational expertise to maximize rental performance for investors.
