About Punta Ballena

Ultra-luxury resort living, Auberge hospitality, intimate scale, world-class dining, cliffside ocean setting

Punta Ballena is one of the most exclusive residential enclaves on the Los Cabos Corridor, anchored by Esperanza, an Auberge Resorts Collection property consistently ranked among the world's finest luxury hotels. This 178-acre private community sits on a dramatic rocky promontory just four miles from downtown Cabo San Lucas, offering residents the rare combination of resort-caliber amenities and whole-ownership privacy. The community is limited to just 53 single-family and multi-family luxury homes, creating an intimate, low-density atmosphere that stands in contrast to larger Corridor developments. Residents enjoy over two miles of walking paths, private tennis courts, an exclusive beach club with restaurant, bar, gym, and pools — all managed to the Auberge standard of hospitality. Fully-furnished whole-ownership residences start at $3 million, with top properties exceeding $15 million. Punta Ballena attracts ultra-high-net-worth buyers who want the prestige and service of a world-class resort without the compromise of fractional ownership or hotel-condo structures. The Esperanza name carries global recognition, and the community's intimate scale ensures privacy, exclusivity, and direct access to one of the Corridor's most spectacular oceanfront settings.
