Set to open on November 13, the CostaBaja Resort & Spa is now taking reservations for their new resort. The 220-acre development will be the first 5-star resort in La Paz, Mexico and includes a new Gary Player-designed golf course which opens on 7 November.

Located just 10 minutes north from downtown La Paz, the resort is set on the magnificent Sea of Cortez, overlooking the marina and white sand beaches. With 115 rooms, each with a selection of ocean, mountain, golf course and marina views, the property will bring a 5 star luxury resort experience to La Paz.

The resort will also be home to the first spa in La Paz as well as hosting two signature restaurants; Steinbeck’s Steakhouse and The Marina Bar, two pools, a beach club, and the stunning 18-hole golf course. A 2477 sq foot ballroom is also available for corporate retreats and functions or can be divided into three different spaces for smaller functions.

John W Cullen, III, president of Maryland-based Grand Heritage Hotels, said: “Grand Heritage is pleased to make CostaBaja Resort & Spa our first property in Mexico.”

“We are excited to bring a new level of service and hospitality to the destination of La Paz and we look forward to welcoming guests to the Gateway to the Sea of Cortez.”
