Cabo Is Ready for Its Spotlight

Located at the tip of the Baja California peninsula on Mexico’s west coast, Cabo has been a haven of relaxation and splendour since the golden age of Hollywood. The Rat Pack enjoyed escaping the glare of their public lives there, while John Wayne preferred fishing in Cabo San Lucas. Errol Flynn and Bing Crosby also enjoyed the laid-back Cabo lifestyle.

But besides its most famous jet-setters, Cabo is quickly becoming the destination of choice for people wanting an additional place to call home. In Cabo, the Mexican Riviera becomes so much more than a vacation destination. Here you can breathe in that Sea of Cortez air; access secluded stretches of swimmable beach from the comfort your own home; and live life at a slower, though no less exciting, pace. Pair that with the influx of luxury real estate to choose from, and the appeal of Cabo becomes undeniable.

High-end relaxation made easy

Currently, about 90% of real estate transactions in Cabo are from U.S. and Canadian buyers, which speaks to the ease of purchasing property in Mexico. Developer real estate teams often help guide buyers through the Mexican purchasing process, working with U.S.-based escrow and title insurance companies to make the transaction as smooth and transparent as possible. It’s telling that many Four Seasons homeowners in Cabo also own homes at other Four Seasons properties, some having developed interest in other locations even before moving into their Cabo estates because of the ease of the process.

This piece of paradise may be particularly enticing for those based in the U.S., who can catch an easy flight from many places in the country. But the level of service, the quality food scene, the perfect weather and the overall vacation-vibe lifestyle are appealing to buyers worldwide. So how does a discerning buyer make the choice that’s right for them? With two distinct properties to choose from, Four Seasons Private Residences invites homeowners to experience the best of Mexico’s Baja peninsula, with the exclusive, rugged landscape of Four Seasons Private Residence Los Cabos at Costa Palmas or the village-style atmosphere right on the beach at Four Seasons Private Residences Cabo San Lucas.

“We look at where our customers want to be, and where we can deliver our brand promise to those who want to commit to living our brand lifestyle over and above vacationing,” says Paul White, Four Seasons Senior Vice President of Residential Development, Sales and Marketing. “We have two properties here [in Cabo], so it’s a very important spot for us.”

Four Seasons Private Residences elevates the home experience, providing all the amenities from the resort properties, which are also on site, plus a dedicated residential team to make sure even the smallest details are in place before a key is turned. It’s homeownership without the fuss.

Calling Costa Palmas home

Homeowners can also embrace the quintessential Cabo lifestyle on the Sea of Cortez at Four Seasons Private Residence Los Cabos at Costa Palmas, where the tranquillity and natural landscape of the secluded East Cape are the perfect low-key escape from any hustle and bustle. This is, after all, the same stretch of sea that captured the interest of oceanographer Jacques Cousteau, who referred to it as “the aquarium of the world.”

Homes here are beachfront, marina side or ocean view, and owners can select from four bespoke home designs that are made to blend seamlessly into the landscape, or buyers can design and build their own custom seaside villa. Either way, residents and their guests will have access to more than 2 miles of swimmable beaches among the rugged natural surroundings, while yacht owners will also be thrilled to find the Costa Palmas Marina and Yacht Club just steps from their front door.

Outdoor adventures such as snorkelling, diving, kayaking, sailing, deep-sea fishing, swimming with dolphins or simply enjoying a lounge chair on the white sand are all within easy reach. And that’s in addition to access to the other amenities available at nearby Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas, including pools, a Spa, two tennis courts and a state-of-the art Fitness Centre and Sports Club designed by internationally renowned fitness expert, Harley Pasternak. There really is something for everyone – and every family – at Costa Palmas.

Adventures abound in Cabo San Lucas

At Four Seasons Private Residences Cabo San Lucas at Cabo Del Sol, every room has a view of the Sea of Cortez, making it easy to sit back and watch the boats go by from your private terrace while you snack on fresh guacamole and chips prepared by the Four Seasons culinary team.

The lush landscape of the boutique village-style property sits right on one of the few swimmable beaches in Cabo, while the natural shoreline and rock formations offer an additional sense of discovery and adventure. You’ll find a mix of 61 private villas, residences and estates, each designed to evoke a soothing, elegant luxury, featuring nature-inspired colours and materials – wood ceilings, stone veneer columns and walls, and light marble floors that draw inspiration from traditional Mexican haciendas with a contemporary twist.

Here, homeowners can also buy into the exclusive Cove Club, providing discretion, camaraderie and a private-club lifestyle, plus access to some great restaurants. Paddleboarding and a variety of water sports and activities are also available on site, and private club members have some added perks that can’t be found anywhere else. Don’t feel like playing a full 18 holes at the acclaimed Jack Nicklaus–designed Cove Club Course? No problem. Care to go straight from the beach to the golf course, without having to pack your golf shoes? You can even play barefoot if you’d like.

The typical owner drawn to Cabo San Lucas is active and curious, always open to trying new things. With so much freedom and so many options, this could be where you discover a hidden talent for fishing or even a newfound love for pickleball, a sport you might never have thought to try before calling Cabo home.

Ready to head back? All you have to do is let the team know and they will open the home, adjust the temperature to your preference, freshen up the space, stock the refrigerator and have a pitcher of margaritas ready to make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in the door.

A Day in the Life: Living in Costa Rica with Four Seasons

What makes a place feel like home? For many, it’s a sense of ease, comfort and joy. At Four Seasons Private Residences Costa Rica at Peninsula Papagayo, it’s David Mendez’s job to make sure every resident feels that from the moment they arrive. We asked Mendez to give us a glimpse into this unique homeownership experience from his insider’s point of view.

As the Director of Residences, what is a typical day like for you?

It’s all about connection. My day starts by connecting with the team to talk about who is arriving that day, reviewing the itineraries of the residents who are already on property to see what they might need and, of course, making sure that every home is kept in tip-top shape. And then the most important part is connecting with our residents. Whether it’s arranging the room towels in a fun shape for families arriving with kids or preparing a cake, flowers and balloons for someone who is here celebrating a birthday, we want every single resident to feel love and recognition as soon as they arrive.

Tell us about the relationship you and your team have with your residents.

Most of our owners come to the property in vacation mode, so we really begin cultivating each relationship during the pre-arrival process, where we talk about everything about their upcoming stay and how we can make it special for them. We always remember any preference or detail they’ve shared during previous visits so we can make sure they feel at home. It’s truly a joy to have them back, and we want them to know and feel that.

Our owners do like to be seen and recognized in public areas, so we never miss the chance to say hello. Some of our owners have been around long enough to see our team members grow within the organization and, in turn, some team members have watched our owners’ children grow up, so there are often close, long-lasting relationships that are built over the years. There’s a strong sense of community here on Peninsula Papagayo that can be felt everywhere.

Cos 1268 970x540

Four Seasons is known for its exceptional and intuitive service. What does that look and feel like for homeowners, and how does it differ from your typical luxury real estate experience?

At Four Seasons, it feels like family. Like the comfort and trust of returning to a place that knows who you are, knows your family members and knows your preferences. It’s being greeted by a familiar face, with the feeling that you are living in a community that genuinely wants you to have a great time. We always aim to go above and beyond.

For example, we had one owner who was very excited about his grandson’s first visit. Before he arrived, we had a child’s bathrobe embroidered with the baby’s name on it. We also included a welcome amenity with a note saying ‘Welcome to the world, and your new house.’ Sometimes it’s more intimate gestures like this, but other times, we like to go big. My team is often seen driving down the street with colourful balloons flying from the golf cart to lead a special birthday parade.

What makes this Costa Rica property so unique?

For starters, our location in Prieta Bay on Peninsula Papagayo is simply mesmerizing, with expansive views of the Pacific Ocean, magical sunsets and an unparalleled closeness to nature. But beyond the beautiful landscape, it’s the community of people that really make this place unique. Costa Rica was recognized a few years ago as the happiest country in the world – this ties back to a phrase we have here: pura vida [the happy life]. My team and I are proud ambassadors of the pura vida lifestyle, which for us, means we genuinely care about the well-being of our residents and do everything we can to make sure they feel that.

Given the location on Costa Rica’s idyllic Peninsula Papagayo, how does Four Seasons incorporate sustainability into both the residences themselves and the lifestyle that owners are buying into?

We also give residents the ability to join activities that support social responsibility, like supporting local schools and adopting families through the Creciendo Juntos outreach program, or other initiatives where our residents can help with coral gardening. Overall, our residents love the proximity to nature and wildlife. Some of the owners have really invested their time learning about the local wildlife and get really excited about it!

Cos 1491 970x540

What do you think is the biggest draw for residents, and what do they find most valuable about living here?

Our homeowners love the proximity to nature, but what they truly value most is the carefree ownership, the overall access to services from the Resort, the feeling of not having to worry about the day-to-day details of your home and the certainty that there is a team of professionals tending your needs while you’re here. They also value being part of an exclusive community that is supporting and taking care of all aspects of their home, allowing them to fully embody the pura vida lifestyle.

Spacious Downtown Homes
Built for Design Lovers

A modern urban lifestyle deserves a stylish home to match. From a two-story penthouse perched high above Boston’s exclusive Back Bay to a sprawling high-rise duplex set against sweeping views of the Arabian Sea in Mumbai’s Worli district, Four Seasons Private Residences offer a unique opportunity to live, work and play in some of the most beautiful homes and coveted addresses in the world.

Step inside these flawlessly designed residences and you’ll find elements like cascading staircases, exotic stone finishes, sleek outdoor terraces and custom oversized showers – all working seamlessly together to create a soothing sanctuary that feels removed from the hustle and bustle while still being integrally tied to the vibrant city below. Here are some of our favourite private residences whose interior designs are just as impressive as the skyline views that come along with them.

A waterfront oasis in Bangkok

Set along the riverbanks of the Chao Phraya – known as the River of Kings – Four Seasons Private Residences Bangkok at Chao Phraya River puts you just steps away from the parks, shops and restaurants that line the water. Tall ceilings, a neutral colour palette and open-concept living spaces create an easy flow throughout each residence, with rooms transitioning seamlessly into private outdoor terraces that invite you to fully appreciate the unobstructed view. Or head up to the 64th-floor residents-only Four Seasons Club and take in the panoramic vistas from the infinity-edge Sky Pool, one of the highest rooftop pools in all of Bangkok. For a more grounded take, invite friends to join you in the private residential lounge that sits right next to the river’s edge, offering you a secluded place to enjoy the waterfront setting away from crowds of promenade visitors before heading out to mingle in the markets, go gallery-hopping or indulging in delicious street food. Living at the heart of the city’s cultural district puts the best of Bangkok all around you.

A sky-high, family-friendly home in Mumbai

Located in the heart of Mumbai’s exciting Worli district, Four Seasons Private Residences Mumbai puts you within easy reach of some of the city’s most popular landmarks, including the Willingdon Golf Course, the Mahalaxmi Race Course and the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. Designed by award-winning architecture firm Gensler, the exclusive residences each occupy an entire floor at the minimum, and incorporate timeless Vastu principles while also allowing for maximum space and magnificent views. Ranging from single-floor residences to family-friendly duplexes with multiple living areas to a sky-high penthouse, these are some of the largest floor plans in the city. Inspired by precious heirloom gemstones and jewels, the interior design firm Yabu Pushelberg carefully curated each detail – think crisp lines, book-matched exotic stone and swathes of solid wood – to create a sense of timeless elegance that is meant to be cherished for generations.

A Scandinavian-inspired residence in Minneapolis

The unique collection of 34 homes at Four Seasons Private Residences Minneapolis brings the spirited character of downtown Minneapolis to life. This is where a thriving community of artists, chefs, musicians and entertainers call home, and the residences reflect that sense of connection. The design of the building was inspired by the architectural legacy of Minneapolis, using a rich palette of woods, metals, stones and textiles throughout, while the residences themselves pull inspiration from the city’s cultural heritage. Offered in two different styles – Nordic and Urban – each captures a different facet of Minneapolis. With its oak floors and marble countertops, the Nordic palette embodies the bright, clean-lined aesthetic of the city’s Scandinavian influence. The Urban palette, though similar in floor plan, plays more into the glamourous authenticity of Minneapolis through herringbone walnut floors and moodier granite finishes. No matter the style, every residence comes with its own private balcony expertly integrated into the living space, serving as an outdoor extension of the main living area and equipped with ceiling-mounted heaters so you can enjoy the space year round.

A statement-making address in Boston’s Back Bay

With its designer boutiques, art galleries, cafés and tree-lined streets filled with 19th-century brick townhouses, it’s easy to see why Boston’s affluent Back Bay neighbourhood easily draws people in. The striking Four Seasons Private Residences Boston at One Dalton are no different. Housed in a sculptural, all-glass-façade building designed by world-renowned architect Henry N. Cobb, each residence features floor-to-ceiling panoramic views of downtown Boston, the Charles River, Boston Harbour and beyond. Inside, Blue de Savoie polished marble tops the kitchen counters, 5-inch-wide American walnut planks line the floors and natural light streams in from towering walls of gently curving glass. At 61 storeys tall, this is Boston’s – and, in fact, New England’s – tallest residential building. And the penthouses that line the top make the most of their aerial address with a 570-square-foot, double-height terrace complete with an outdoor fireplace.

Designed by Miami-based architect Kobi Karp, the space offers room to work and to play, complemented by plenty of natural light and accented by British designer Tara Bernerd’s signature use of colour and texture.
