Querencia 2026: Second Fazio Course, La Reserva, and 20 New Amenities Redefining Los Cabos Luxury

I have walked a lot of luxury developments in my career — from Deer Valley to Palm Beach to the Caribbean. Querencia is the one I tell people to fly down and see in person before they make any decision about Cabo real estate. Not because it is the most expensive (though it is up there). Because it is the only community in Los Cabos that feels like it was designed by someone who actually lives there and gives a damn about what residents want next.

And what they have done in 2026 is remarkable. A second Tom Fazio championship course. A 16-unit boutique development called La Reserva. Over 20 new amenities including things you would not expect — a climbing wall, a BMX pump track, indoor golf simulators. Querencia was already the benchmark. Now they are pulling further ahead.

The Second Fazio Course: 36 Holes of Fazio in One Community

When Querencia announced the second Tom Fazio course, it was not a marketing gimmick — it was a statement of intent. No other private residential community in Mexico offers 36 holes by the same world-class designer. In the US, you would have to look at places like Shadow Creek or Pinehurst to find comparable Fazio density, and those are resort properties, not private residential.

The new course features:

• Dramatic elevation changes: Querencia sits in the foothills above San Jose del Cabo, and the new routing takes full advantage of the topography — desert canyon holes that feel like you are playing through a Baja landscape painting
• Panoramic Sea of Cortez views: Multiple holes offer unobstructed views of the ocean and the distinctive rock formations that define the Los Cabos coastline
• Desert-links hybrid design: Fazio has blended the strategic shot-making of a links course with the visual drama of desert routing — wide fairways that reward accuracy over distance
• Environmental integration: The course works with the existing terrain rather than reshaping it, preserving native cactus gardens and arroyos as natural hazards

For golf-centric buyers, this changes the calculus entirely. Previously, if you wanted 36 holes, you were looking at a community with two different designers — which means two different design philosophies and, often, one course that is clearly the "secondary" offering. At Querencia, both courses carry the Fazio pedigree. That consistency matters to serious golfers.

La Reserva: 16 Units of Boutique Luxury

La Reserva is Querencia's latest residential release, and it is intentionally small. Sixteen units. That is it. In a world where developers love to announce 200-unit towers, Querencia went the opposite direction — fewer units, higher quality, more exclusivity.

What sets La Reserva apart:

• Limited inventory: 16 units means scarcity is real, not manufactured. When these sell, there is no "Phase 2" waiting in the wings.
• Premium finishes: Custom millwork, imported stone, smart-home systems, and indoor-outdoor living spaces designed for the Baja climate — floor-to-ceiling glass that opens to private terraces
• Spring 2026 completion: Unlike pre-construction projects that are 24-36 months from delivery, La Reserva is completing now. You can walk the finished product, not a rendering.
• Full Querencia access: La Reserva buyers get access to both Fazio courses, Club Espiritu, El Secreto Beach Club, and the entire amenity portfolio

Pricing for La Reserva residences is in the $2M-$5M range, which positions them between Querencia's entry-level condos ($1.5M) and custom estate villas ($8M-$12M+). For buyers who want the Querencia lifestyle without the commitment of a custom build, La Reserva is the sweet spot.

Club Espiritu: The Amenity Arms Race Winner

The biggest knock on golf communities has always been: "What does the non-golfer spouse do?" Querencia heard that feedback years ago and built Club Espiritu — a wellness and lifestyle campus that gives every member of the household a reason to be at the club, whether they play golf or not.

The original Club Espiritu included a world-class spa, fitness center, tennis courts, pools, and dining. The 2025-2026 expansion added over 20 new amenities:

• Professional climbing wall — full multi-pitch routes, not a hotel gym add-on
• Trampoline park — the kind of amenity that gets teenagers off their phones (temporarily)
• Indoor golf simulators — TrackMan-equipped bays for practice when it is too hot to play 18
• BMX pump track — designed for all ages, from kids learning to ride to adults who never outgrew the dirt
• Padel courts — the sport that is eating tennis alive in Mexico, now at Querencia
• Pickleball courts — because no luxury community in 2026 can avoid pickleball (and honestly, it is fun)
• Cooking academy — professional instruction featuring Baja cuisine and international menus
• Wine cellar lounge — curated collection with sommelier-led tastings
• Enhanced children's adventure zone — expanded programming for families
• Recovery suite — cold plunge, infrared sauna, compression therapy alongside the fitness center

The result is a community where a family of four — dad golfs, mom does the spa and padel, the teenager climbs, the 10-year-old rides the pump track — all have a world-class experience. That depth of programming is what separates Querencia from communities that bolt an infinity pool onto a golf course and call it "resort living."

Membership Structure: Golf, Social, and Generational Transfer

Querencia offers two membership categories:

• Golf Membership: Full access to both Fazio courses, the practice facility, and all Club Espiritu amenities. This is the premium tier.
• Social Membership: Access to all Club Espiritu amenities — spa, fitness, dining, pools, sports courts, adventure amenities — without golf course access. Designed for non-golfers who still want the full Querencia lifestyle.

The standout feature is generational transfer. Both membership types can pass to your heirs, which means the membership you buy today can serve your family for generations. This is not standard in the industry — many luxury clubs require a new membership purchase or a substantial transfer fee when the property changes hands. Querencia's approach builds multigenerational commitment into the ownership structure.

Membership is available only to property owners within Querencia. You cannot buy a membership without owning real estate in the community.

Real Estate at Querencia: What Is Available and What It Costs

Querencia's real estate spans a wide range, from relatively accessible condos to estate properties that rival anything in Baja:

Property Type	Price Range	Typical Size	Notes
Condos	$1.5M-$3M	2,000-3,500 sq ft	Entry point into Querencia ownership
La Reserva	$2M-$5M	2,500-4,000 sq ft	Boutique 2026 development, 16 units
Single-Family Homes	$3M-$8M	4,000-7,000 sq ft	Custom-built on purchased homesites
Estate Homesites	$1M-$4M+	0.5-2+ acres	Build custom; ocean and canyon views
Estate Villas	$8M-$12M+	8,000-15,000 sq ft	Baja's most exclusive residential offerings

Resale properties at Querencia tend to sell within 90-120 days — significantly faster than the Los Cabos average of 190 days — because demand consistently outpaces new supply. The community's reputation, the membership value, and the expanding amenity portfolio create a seller's market within a buyer's market.

Location: Elevated Above San Jose del Cabo

Querencia sits in the foothills above San Jose del Cabo, approximately 10 minutes from downtown SJD and 15 minutes from the SJD airport. The elevated position provides several advantages:

• Cooler temperatures: 3-5 degrees cooler than sea-level communities during summer months
• Panoramic views: Ocean, mountain, and desert canyon views from most homesites and residences
• Privacy: The elevation and canyon terrain create natural separation between properties
• Storm drainage: Higher elevation means better drainage during tropical storms — a practical advantage during hurricane season

The trade-off is that Querencia is not beachfront. The community addresses this with the El Secreto Beach Club, a private oceanfront amenity exclusively for Querencia members, located on a swimmable beach on the Corridor.

For buyers who prioritize beach proximity over elevation and views, consider Palmilla or Chileno Bay on the Corridor. For a community with similar golf prestige at a lower price point, look at Diamante or Quivira. But if the question is "where is the most complete luxury lifestyle in Cabo?" — the answer is Querencia, and the gap is widening.

Who Buys at Querencia

Querencia's buyer profile is distinct from other Cabo communities. These are not first-time Mexico buyers or vacation-rental investors. Querencia buyers are typically:

• High-net-worth families with $10M-$50M+ in assets who have owned second homes in other luxury markets (Aspen, Nantucket, Jackson Hole) and want a warm-weather counterpart
• Serious golfers who want two championship courses at their doorstep — not a hotel course they share with day-trippers
• Multi-generational buyers attracted by the generational membership transfer and the family-oriented amenity expansion
• Privacy-oriented buyers who prefer a gated, elevated community over a busy resort corridor

If this is your profile, Querencia deserves a visit. If you are looking for a vacation rental investment or an entry-level Cabo property, there are better fits — and we are happy to guide you to them. See our community guide for the full range of options.
