Why Maravilla Feels Like a Private Resort You Actually Own

Santa Maria Bay from the water, the calm cove with the beach club palapas at the far end

Discover Maravilla, a premier private community and club framed by two of Baja’s best swimmable beaches, offering an intimate membership experience and a lifestyle that moves seamlessly from Santa Maria Bay to the desert mountains.

Maravilla is built around a rare combination in Los Cabos: direct access to iconic swimmable bays, an intimate members-only community (limited membership), and a club lifestyle designed for families, wellness, and adventure.

By the Numbers

Two hundred and sixty acres, two beaches, and a club capped at 230.

Maravilla covers 260 acres of the Sea of Cortez shoreline on the Corridor, inside Twin Dolphin, the 1,400-acre master plan that also holds Montage Los Cabos. The land was the Hotel Twin Dolphin, which opened in 1977 and drew Hollywood to this cove for thirty years before it was taken down to make room for the community.

Two beaches belong to it: Santa Maria Bay, the horseshoe cove that stays calm almost all year, and Las Viudas next door, the two rare swimmable beaches of the Corridor. Between them, on the point, sits the Club at Maravilla, with its pools, spa, gym, climbing wall, putting course, theater and the restaurant, all a golf-cart ride from any house.

Membership is capped at 230 owners and it comes with the house, not separately. It also opens Twin Dolphin Club up the hill: the eighteen-hole Fred Couples Signature course, The Backyard par-3 course, The Courts for tennis, padel and pickleball, and Dos Arroyos, more than ten miles of trails with a glamping camp, archery and paintball in the desert behind the homes.

The neighborhoods.
Las Playas by the water and Las Colinas on the ridge with the long views; the Twin Dolphin Casitas inside the golf; and the homesites of Santa Maria, El Cielo, Las Viudas and Las Olas for owners who want to build. Homes run from three to seven bedrooms.
One owner for everything.
Ohana Real Estate Investors developed Twin Dolphin, Maravilla and the Montage, and its own design-build and interiors teams draw, build and furnish the houses. There is no second developer to negotiate with and no gap between the plan and what gets delivered.
Twin Dolphin I.
The club keeps a 56-foot VanDutch yacht for members, for ten guests at a time, so the day that starts on the beach can end at Land’s End without leaving the membership.
OHANA

02 · The Ohana Team

The same hands draw the house, build it and furnish it.

Built and Furnished by Ohana: The Design-Build Team Behind Maravilla

Most communities in Los Cabos are sold by one company, built by another and decorated by whoever the owner finds. Maravilla is unusual: the developer, the architects, the builders and the interior team all sit inside the same group, Ohana, and they have been working on this hillside since the old Twin Dolphin came down.

Ohana Real Estate Investors.
The owner and developer of Twin Dolphin, Maravilla and Montage Los Cabos, founded in 2009 and based in Redwood City, California. Ohana keeps the land, the club and the hotel in one set of hands, which is why the plan has not changed course in fifteen years.
Ohana Design & Build.
The group’s own design-build firm, with more than 150 in-house architects, designers and builders working between Park City, Healdsburg and Los Cabos. One team takes a house from the first floor plan through permits, construction and finishes. In Maravilla it built the Twin Dolphin Casitas and The Courts at the club.
Ohana Design Services.
The interiors division, with over twenty-five years in residential design and a team based in Los Cabos. It delivers turnkey packages down to the art, the housewares and the planters, manufactures custom furniture, takes clients on sourcing trips, and manages import and installation so an owner can arrive with a suitcase.

The master plan.
Hart Howerton drew the plan, the architecture and the landscape of Maravilla for Ohana, keeping the arroyos and the native desert between the homes rather than grading them flat, with the golf routed by Todd Eckenrode’s team alongside.
Baja, in a modern key.
The houses are modern Baja: stone and plaster walls, deep roof overhangs, sliding glass that opens the whole living room to the terrace, and interiors in sun-washed neutrals, deep indigo and organic textures, with local materials wherever they hold up to salt air.
Why it matters when you buy.
A house built and furnished by the developer’s own team carries one warranty, one set of drawings and one contact after closing. For a custom homesite, the same team can design, build and furnish to the community’s guidelines without a third party in between.

From Santa Maria Bay to Twin Dolphin Golf: The Maravilla Lifestyle

Maravilla’s lifestyle is built around everyday access to resort-caliber experiences—without the public feel. Owners prioritize ease: beach days, wellness, and social spaces that are close, private, and consistent.

For buyers weighing “private club” versus “resort-service” ownership on the Corridor, it can also help to compare Las Ventanas al Paraíso residences for a service-driven, resort-integrated lifestyle, and Montage Los Cabos real estate for branded ownership with hotel-level amenities and managed convenience.

Buying in Maravilla: How Foreign buyers Secure Club Access & Close Smoothly

Most luxury purchases in Los Cabos by non-Mexican buyers are structured through the restricted-zone trust (fideicomiso) or other legal structures depending on ownership strategy. The key is a clean process: due diligence, escrow handling, notary coordination, and clear timelines.

  • Strategy-first: define use-case (second home, rental strategy, legacy) + membership priorities.
  • Inventory scan: MLS + private opportunities, filtered by view corridor and neighborhood.
  • Offer & terms: deposits, contingencies, timeline aligned with travel schedule.
  • Due diligence: title review, HOA/club docs, membership eligibility, permits, condition.
  • Closing: escrow + notary, with remote closing options when applicable.
