The story in Cabo San Lucas right now isn't just about what's already built. It's about what's coming.
Six major hotel brands have announced luxury resort residences currently in pre-sale or active development in the Los Cabos area. We're talking about Aman, St. Regis, Soho House, Conrad, Delano, and Raffles. These are brands that don't build in many places, and don't announce projects unless the market justifies it. The fact that all six have landed on the same peninsula within the same few years says something about where Cabo is headed.
At Baja Properties, we track every development in the market closely. Pre-sale opportunities come and go quickly, and in a market this competitive, the buyers who move early are the ones who get the best selection and the best pricing.
This guide covers every significant luxury resort residence announced for Cabo San Lucas and the greater Los Cabos area. We'll walk through what's been announced, when delivery is projected, and what each development means for buyers considering a pre-sale purchase.

Why Buy Pre-Sale in Cabo San Lucas?
Pre-sale pricing is the primary draw. Developers price early units at a discount to attract capital before construction is complete. By the time a project delivers, prices have typically risen. Buyers who got into Four Seasons at Costa Palmas early, for example, saw strong appreciation from purchase to delivery.
Pre-sale buyers also get first pick of floor plans, views, and unit positions. In smaller developments (and several on this list have fewer than 50 units), the best options are gone quickly. Once a project is delivered and open for hotel guests, the remaining inventory is priced accordingly.
There's also a branding premium that kicks in at delivery. Branded residences globally command a 25 to 35 percent price premium over comparable non-branded properties, according to Knight Frank's Branded Residences Report. The same report notes that branded residence supply has more than doubled globally over the past decade, with Latin America among the fastest-growing regions. Buyers who purchase pre-sale are getting in before that premium is fully priced in.
That said, pre-sale purchases require due diligence. We cover what to ask before signing below.
Upcoming Luxury Resort Residences in Los Cabos
1. Soho House Los Cabos, Cabo del Sol (2026)
Soho House is a members' club brand with a global following, with properties in London, New York, Los Angeles, Mexico City, and now Cabo San Lucas. The Los Cabos location is planned for Cabo del Sol, one of the most established resort corridors in the area.
The development includes 45 residences and 5 private villas. Soho House brings a distinct creative, design-forward energy that sets it apart from the traditional luxury hotel brands. Owners here get access to the Soho House members' club amenities, something no other development on the Corridor can offer. Browse Cabo del Sol properties.
This one is expected in early 2026. For buyers who want an address with cultural cachet as much as lifestyle credentials, Soho House is worth watching closely.
2. Amanvari, Costa Palmas, East Cape (2026)
Aman is the most exclusive hospitality brand in the world. Their properties are rare, small, and intensely private. Amanvari at Costa Palmas is following that formula: just 18 casitas plus a private residential component on the warm, swimmable waters of the Sea of Cortez.
Costa Palmas is already home to the Four Seasons Residences and the only private marina in Los Cabos. Aman's arrival further establishes the East Cape as a serious luxury destination in its own right, not just a quieter alternative to the Corridor.
Eighteen units means eighteen opportunities. That level of scarcity is unusual even by Cabo standards. Buyers interested in Amanvari should be speaking with us now, not in six months.
Projected delivery is mid-2026. Pricing is not widely published. Contact our team directly for current pre-sale details.
3. St. Regis Los Cabos at Quivira (2026)
Quivira is one of the most recognized resort developments in Cabo San Lucas, home to a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course and a stretch of Pacific beachfront that's hard to beat. The St. Regis Los Cabos is planned within the Quivira community, with approximately 60 residences across the project.
St. Regis is a Marriott brand, which carries significant weight for buyers interested in the rental management side. Marriott's global reservation network drives occupancy in ways that smaller independent brands simply can't match. The Marriott Bonvoy platform alone reaches over 200 million members, according to Marriott's investor relations disclosures. For buyers who plan to enroll in a rental program, that network is a material advantage.
Delivery is projected for late 2026. This is one of the most anticipated launches in the Cabo market, and pre-sale interest has been strong.
4. Conrad Los Cabos at Oleada (2027)
Conrad is Hilton's ultra-luxury tier, the same parent company as Waldorf Astoria, but with a more contemporary design sensibility. The Conrad Los Cabos at Oleada is planned with approximately 40 residences.
Conrad properties tend to attract a design-conscious, globally mobile buyer who appreciates modern architecture and integrated technology throughout the property. The Hilton network, like Marriott's, provides meaningful distribution for owners who want rental income.
A 2027 delivery puts this at the further end of the near-term pipeline, which also means there may still be genuine pre-sale pricing available. Our team can advise on current availability.
5. Delano East Cape (2029)
Delano is an Accor brand with a strong identity in lifestyle-driven luxury. The East Cape location places it in the same emerging corridor as Four Seasons at Costa Palmas and Amanvari, a deliberate clustering of ultra-luxury brands that is beginning to define the East Cape as its own luxury destination.
The Delano East Cape is planned with approximately 60 residences and a 2029 projected delivery. That timeline gives buyers significant runway on pre-sale pricing if they move early.
The East Cape is worth understanding as a long-term investment thesis. Infrastructure has been improving steadily, travel time from the airport has decreased as roads have improved, and the beaches on the Sea of Cortez side offer swimming conditions that the Pacific-facing Corridor often can't. Values in this corridor have been climbing, and the arrival of Aman, Four Seasons, Delano, and Raffles is accelerating that trajectory.
6. Raffles Estera East Cape (2029)
Raffles is one of the oldest luxury hospitality brands in the world. Singapore's iconic Raffles Hotel is over a century old, and its residential properties carry that heritage into every market they enter. Raffles Estera at the East Cape is planned with approximately 46 residences, also projecting delivery in 2029.
A Raffles address carries genuine global brand recognition among the high-net-worth buyers who are the primary market for these homes. The East Cape location alongside Delano and the existing Four Seasons and Aman properties makes Raffles Estera part of what is becoming an extraordinarily concentrated stretch of ultra-luxury branded residences.
For buyers with a longer investment horizon, the 2029 projects represent an opportunity to purchase at early-stage pricing in what is clearly the next major luxury corridor in Mexico.
The East Cape: Cabo's Next Luxury Frontier
It's worth pausing on the East Cape specifically, because the concentration of upcoming branded residences there is not random.
The East Cape occupies the warm-water side of the Baja peninsula, facing the Sea of Cortez rather than the Pacific. The water is calmer, warmer, and swimmable in ways that much of the Corridor is not. The beaches are wider. The setting is more remote and private.
Four Seasons opened at Costa Palmas and demonstrated that buyers would make the drive. The private marina filled quickly. Property values climbed. And now Aman, Delano, and Raffles have all chosen the same corridor for their Cabo entries.
That's not a coincidence. Buyers who got into Costa Palmas early already understand what that clustering means.
If you're looking at Cabo as a 5 to 10 year investment, the East Cape pipeline is where our team is directing the most serious conversations right now. For background on buying luxury homes in Los Cabos more broadly, see our guide to luxury homes in Cabo San Lucas.

What to Ask Before Buying Pre-Sale in Cabo
Pre-sale purchases require a different kind of due diligence than buying a completed property. Here are the questions that matter:
Developer track record: Has this developer delivered projects in Mexico before? On time? Without significant scope changes? A brand name attached to a project doesn't eliminate developer risk. It reduces it, but doesn't eliminate it.
Deposit structure and escrow: Where are your deposits held? They should sit in escrow with a reputable Mexican bank or fiduciary, not with the developer directly. Ask to see the escrow agreement before signing anything.
Delivery guarantees: What are the contractual remedies if delivery is delayed? A well-structured pre-sale agreement will include penalties or remedies for significant delays.
Fideicomiso setup: Pre-sale purchases still require a fideicomiso for foreign buyers. Your attorney should review all purchase documents before you sign. Budget $2,000 to $3,000 for setup costs and $550 to $1,000 annually for trust maintenance. Our fideicomiso guide for foreign buyers covers the full process.
Rental program terms: If you plan to enroll in the resort's rental program, ask for the full terms in writing before closing. That includes the revenue split, any blackout periods, and whether enrollment is optional or required.
Our team at Baja Properties can connect you with attorneys, fiduciaries, and advisors who specialize in this type of transaction. We don't just introduce buyers to developments. We walk with them through the entire process.
Frequently Asked Questions
What luxury resort residences are coming soon to Cabo San Lucas? Several major brands have announced upcoming developments in the Los Cabos area. These include Soho House Los Cabos (Cabo del Sol, 2026), Amanvari (Costa Palmas, 2026), St. Regis Los Cabos at Quivira (2026), Conrad Los Cabos at Oleada (2027), Delano East Cape (2029), and Raffles Estera East Cape (2029). Pre-sale opportunities are available on several of these projects now.
Is buying pre-sale in Cabo San Lucas a good investment? Pre-sale buyers in Cabo have historically benefited from lower entry pricing and first selection of floor plans and views. Branded residences globally command a significant price premium over comparable non-branded properties, and that premium is typically not fully priced in at the pre-sale stage. As with any pre-sale purchase, due diligence on the developer and contract structure is important.
How does pre-sale pricing work for resort residences in Cabo? Developers release pre-sale units at a discount to raise capital during construction. Prices are typically tiered across multiple sales phases, with the earliest buyers getting the lowest prices. As the development moves closer to completion and remaining inventory shrinks, prices rise. By delivery, pricing usually reflects the full branded residence premium.
What is the Aman resort residences project in Cabo? Amanvari is a planned Aman property at Costa Palmas on the East Cape, approximately one hour from Los Cabos International Airport. The development is planned with just 18 casitas plus private residences, one of the smallest unit counts of any branded residence project in the region. Projected delivery is mid-2026. Contact Baja Properties for current pre-sale details.
What is the St. Regis residences project in Cabo? St. Regis Los Cabos at Quivira is a planned Marriott-managed branded residence community within the Quivira development in Cabo San Lucas. It includes approximately 60 residences with a projected delivery in late 2026. Pre-sale interest has been strong given the Marriott rental distribution network and the Quivira location.
What is the difference between the East Cape and the Corridor in Cabo? The Corridor is the stretch of Pacific-facing coastline between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, where most existing resort communities are located. The East Cape faces the Sea of Cortez and offers warmer, calmer, swimmable water and more private settings. It's roughly an hour from the airport. The East Cape is currently seeing significant new branded residence development and strong appreciation.
Can foreigners buy pre-sale resort residences in Cabo San Lucas? Yes. Foreign buyers can purchase pre-sale resort residences in Cabo San Lucas through a fideicomiso, a bank trust that is the standard legal structure for foreign coastal property ownership in Mexico. Your deposits should be held in escrow, and all purchase documents should be reviewed by a qualified Mexican real estate attorney before signing.
