Is El Dorado a Discovery Land Company community?+
Yes. El Dorado Golf & Beach Club was Discovery Land Company's first community in Los Cabos, established in 1999. DLC is the developer behind some of the world's most exclusive residential communities and is known for strict membership caps, exceptional amenities, and strong long-term property appreciation.
Can you rent homes at El Dorado Los Cabos?+
No. El Dorado enforces a strict no-rental policy. Short-term vacation rentals and hotel-style operations are not permitted. The community is exclusively for owners and their invited guests, which maintains privacy and eliminates transient traffic entirely.
What is the golf course like at El Dorado?+
El Dorado features a private Jack Nicklaus-designed championship golf course with six stunning oceanfront holes along the Sea of Cortez. The remaining twelve holes wind through pristine desert canyons with native cactus and dramatic rock formations. The course is members-only and not open to the public.
How does El Dorado compare to Chileno Bay?+
Both are Discovery Land Company communities on the Corridor, but El Dorado is the original (1999) with a more intimate, established feel and strict no-rental policy.
