Quivira
Quivira occupies 1,850 acres at the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez. The community features a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course ranked among the world’s top 100, four Pueblo Bonito resorts, St. Regis residences, and three miles of Pacific coastline just 10 minutes from downtown Cabo San Lucas.
About Quivira
Quivira sits on the Pacific side of Cabo San Lucas, developed by Ernesto Coppel, founder of Pueblo Bonito Resorts and one of the most recognized hoteliers in northern Mexico. The 1,850-acre property spans from windswept dunes and granite cliffs to desert foothills, with over 400 acres designated as natural conservation area. At the property’s northernmost point stands El Faro Viejo, a historic 1905 lighthouse marking “kilometer zero” where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez.
The Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course opened in 2014 and immediately drew international recognition, earning Golf Magazine’s “Best New International Course” and a place on Golf Digest’s World’s 100 Greatest list. The layout offers more oceanfront exposure than any other course in Los Cabos, starting at beach level and climbing to dramatic clifftop holes with views across the Pacific. A second Nicklaus course is under construction in the property’s northwest section.
Residents access four Pueblo Bonito resort properties including the adults-only Pacifica and the family-friendly Sunset Beach, both honored in Condé Nast Traveler’s Top 20 Western Mexico resorts. The community’s Beach Club provides a private swimming pool, ocean-facing gym, and La Concha restaurant, since the Pacific beach itself is not swimmable due to strong currents.
Real Estate in Quivira
Quivira offers one of the widest price ranges among Los Cabos golf communities, from entry-level condos to ultra-luxury branded residences. The variety reflects the scale of the development and Pueblo Bonito’s strategy of serving multiple buyer profiles within a single master plan.

Copala, the community’s first residential phase, offers hacienda-style homes and condos from approximately $400,000 to over $2 million, with its own clubhouse featuring a movie theater and pool.
At the higher end, Coronado features 68 single-story estates on 30 ocean-view acres starting around $1 million. Alvar offers contemporary condominiums designed by the same architects as the St. Regis, with units starting above $1.7 million.
