What Is Quivira Los Cabos?
Quivira is a master-planned luxury residential and resort community on the Pacific side of Cabo San Lucas, set across roughly 1,850 acres with about three miles of beach and built alongside the Pueblo Bonito resort properties. What sets it apart is the land itself: dramatic granite cliffs dropping straight to the ocean, which give it one of the most cinematic settings of any community in Los Cabos.
The community is anchored by the Quivira Golf Club, an 18-hole, 7,085-yard Jack Nicklaus Signature course that opened in 2014. It was Nicklaus's sixth design in Los Cabos, and many consider it his boldest — the routing starts on the beach and climbs across cliffs and dunes, with more ocean exposure than any other golf community in the region.
⛳ Golf note: When it opened, Golf Magazine named Quivira the "Best New International Golf Course," and Golf Digest later placed it on its list of the "World's 100 Greatest Golf Courses." Pueblo Bonito's Quivira Golf Club has also taken Golf Digest's Editors' Choice for Best Golf Resort in Mexico and Central America for several consecutive years. For golf-motivated buyers, that pedigree is a real differentiator.
Types of Homes Available in Quivira
Quivira offers several distinct product types, each with a different price point, view, and ownership profile. Pricing below reflects typical ranges as of mid-2026 and moves with available inventory:
Turnkey condominiums with Pacific views, resort-amenity access, and strong short-term rental potential. Ideal for buyers who want a managed, low-maintenance investment.
Single-family and semi-detached villas along the Nicklaus fairways, with direct golf access and private outdoor living areas.
Large custom homes on the Pacific cliffs with dramatic ocean views — the most exclusive and finite inventory in the community.
New phases and branded residences (including St. Regis Residences at Quivira) periodically offer entry at pre-completion pricing. We monitor releases and advise on timing and terms.
Community Amenities
Quivira's amenities are what you'd expect from a five-star resort community, because the development is physically integrated with the Pueblo Bonito resorts:
Quivira Real Estate Market — 2026 Outlook
Quivira sits in the upper tier of the Los Cabos luxury market. A few dynamics define today's environment, based on BCS MLS data reported by Cabo Real Estate Services:
- A broader buyer's market — across Los Cabos, inventory has built up and many properties are selling below original list price, which gives well-prepared buyers real negotiating room. Best-in-class, well-priced listings still move quickly.
- Strong, recovering volume — Q1 2026 saw about $391M USD in sales go under contract across Los Cabos (350 units), up roughly 39% over the prior quarter, with condos leading the rebound.
- U.S. and Canadian demand, mostly cash — Los Cabos is predominantly an international, cash-driven market, and Quivira's resort-integrated, lock-and-leave model appeals strongly to that buyer.
- Branded-residence momentum — St. Regis Residences at Quivira is part of the branded-residence wave reshaping Cabo's top end, where buyers want a private villa paired with hotel-grade service.
Ownership structure: Foreign buyers hold coastal Quivira property through a fideicomiso (bank trust) — the standard, government-authorized structure for property inside Mexico's restricted zone. Plan for setup of roughly $2,500–$4,000 USD and annual trustee fees near $550–$1,000 USD. HOA fees vary by property type and phase; we provide full cost breakdowns before any offer.
What to Know Before Buying in Quivira
Quivira is a mature community with several development phases, different HOA structures, and varying levels of resort affiliation. Not every property performs the same — and the differences aren't always obvious from a listing sheet. After years of closing deals here, these are the same questions I'd raise if you were sitting across from me:
- Understand the HOA structure — fees, rental rules, and amenity access vary by phase. Some units are enrolled in the Pueblo Bonito rental program; others are independently managed.
- Verify rental program terms — if rental income is part of your thesis, get the full management-agreement terms in writing before closing.
- Budget realistically for closing costs — in Los Cabos, plan for roughly 5–8.5% of the purchase price, including ISABI (the 3% acquisition tax, now applied statewide across Baja California Sur as of January 2026), notary fees, fideicomiso setup, and escrow.
- Work with an MLS-member agent — not every Quivira listing appears on every platform. MLS Baja California Sur membership gives your agent access to the full inventory, including off-market opportunities.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Because Quivira is in the coastal restricted zone, foreign buyers purchase through a fideicomiso — a renewable 50-year bank trust that grants full rights to use, rent, remodel, sell, or bequeath the property. It's the standard, government-authorized path for coastal real estate in Mexico.
As of mid-2026, ocean-view condos generally start around $400,000 USD, golf villas from roughly $800,000, and cliffside estates from about $1.5M and up. Pricing moves with available inventory, so current listings are the best guide.
Quivira Golf Club is an exclusive amenity for Quivira owners and guests of the Pueblo Bonito resorts, which is part of what keeps the course private and uncrowded for residents.
