Diamante
Diamante occupies 1,500 acres along 1.5 miles of Pacific coastline, six miles north of downtown Cabo San Lucas. The community is home to the only property worldwide with three Tiger Woods-designed golf courses, including El Cardonal, which hosts the PGA Tour’s World Wide Technology Championship annually. A 10-acre saltwater Crystal Lagoon provides a swimmable alternative to the dramatic but unswimmable Pacific beach.
About Diamante
Developer Ken Jowdy acquired the property in 2006 and opened Diamante in 2009 with Davis Love III’s Dunes Course, which now ranks #1 in Mexico and has reached as high as #36 worldwide in Golf Magazine’s Top 100. Tiger Woods chose Diamante for his first-ever golf course design, El Cardonal, which opened in December 2014 and became the first Woods-designed course to host a PGA Tour event when the World Wide Technology Championship moved here in 2023.
The community sits on the Pacific side of Cabo San Lucas, where the desert meets the ocean. Unlike the calmer Sea of Cortez beaches on the East Cape and San Jose Corridor, Diamante’s Pacific beach is not swimmable due to strong currents. The solution: a 10-acre saltwater Crystal Lagoon at the center of the resort, one of the largest pools in North America, with seven zero-entry beach areas for swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding.
Beyond golf, Diamante offers a full-service spa, state-of-the-art fitness center with 25-meter lap pool, tennis and pickleball courts, six miles of hiking trails, and multiple dining options including The Woods Cabo, Tiger Woods’ signature restaurant. The community continues to expand with the Legacy Club, a third Tiger Woods course, and an ultra-private enclave limited to 250 families, expected to open in late 2026.
