St. Regis Quivira: A New Era for Cabo Real Estate

The arrival of the St. Regis brand in Los Cabos marks one of the most significant milestones not only for Quivira, but for Cabo as a whole. The iconic flag brings with it a new level of prestige, setting the stage for both world-class hospitality and extraordinary residential living. Despite the challenges of recent years—COVID, labor shortages, and supply chain hurdles—the project remains firmly on track. The hotel will feature 120 rooms, paired with 74 residences. To date, 50 residences have been released, with additional phases planned for the future. For the early buyers who had the vision to commit, the rewards are already clear. Values have appreciated meaningfully, confirming what many anticipated: that this project would quickly become one of Cabo’s most sought-after addresses.

The property itself is extraordinary. With multiple pools, direct beachfront access, and waves so close you can hear them from your residence, the setting is unlike anything else in Cabo. Add to that its position on the Pacific side—home to some of the region’s most spectacular sunsets—and what many consider the best whale-watching vantage point in all of Los Cabos, and you have a truly unique environment. Inside the resort, the amenities are equally impressive. From a signature beachfront restaurant led by one of Mexico’s most celebrated chefs to curated luxury services managed under the St. Regis brand, owners and guests alike will enjoy an elevated lifestyle that blends comfort with exclusivity.

For today’s buyers, the opportunity goes beyond real estate. It’s the chance to own a true trophy asset in Cabo—something iconic that can be enjoyed personally while backed by the legacy of a globally respected brand. Owners have full flexibility: residences can be used year-round or placed into the optional St. Regis rental program. This program allows owners to enjoy their property when they wish and generate rental income when they’re away, managed by one of the world’s leading luxury operators with more than 120 years of proven expertise.

Cabo’s luxury real estate market is competitive, and St. Regis is naturally compared with other five-star branded residences in the region. Those competitors are fully open resorts with operational hotels, spas, and rental programs in place—and they’re priced accordingly. St. Regis, while not yet fully operational, offers the same level of luxury at a considerably lower entry point. Once the resort and its amenities open, values are expected to align with, if not surpass, those of its peers. That creates a unique window of opportunity for buyers today—an opportunity that won’t last once the resort is complete and operating at full capacity.

This is the stage where developments shift from concept to lived-in lifestyle. Soon, families will be in the pool, kids will be doing cannonballs, parents will be sipping margaritas, and the resort will hum with energy. That’s when equity really starts to rise. Developers know this too—once guests can check into the lobby, dine at the restaurant, and then inquire about available residences, pricing naturally moves higher.

Currently, inventory is extremely limited: one residence remains in the main tower (available only because the original buyer upgraded to a larger unit) and just a handful of oceanfront villas are still on the market. Phase two will follow, but by then, the atmosphere will be very different—with more owners, more activity, and likely higher prices. And importantly, phase one is structurally complete. Every building has been fully topped out, which means buyers can see exactly what their view and residence will look like. From balconies to beachfront villas, there’s no guesswork—what you see today is what you’ll own tomorrow.

The arrival of St. Regis Quivira represents a defining moment for Cabo’s luxury market. With limited availability, world-class amenities, and a brand that commands global respect, it’s an opportunity that combines lifestyle, investment, and long-term value. For those considering a purchase in Cabo, there may be no better time than right now—before the doors officially open and this iconic property reaches its full potential.
