E XCLUSIVIT Y In 2010, CostaBaja will unveil the opening of its Gary Player Signature Golf Course — the first of its kind for Mexico and a CostaBaja exclusive. The most successful international golfer of all time, Player has achieved the kind of worldwide acclaim reserved for only a handful of sporting greats. His shared commitment to preserving the natural surroundings was a key factor in the selection process. “I am so excited to be doing my first design project in Mexico at CostaBaja Resort and Marina. La Paz is gaining wonderful 6
momentum as a tourist destination and the golf course to be built at this stunning site on the Sea of Cortez will do nothing but contribute to that.
I look forward to experiencing the
well-known Mexican hospitality during my visits to CostaBaja.” • Gary Player You will love playing on this uniquely designed 18-hole, par 72 course spanning over 550 acres of coastal beauty and overlooking the Sea of Cortez. In keeping with Player’s sensitivity to the environment, the course features salt tolerant Paspalum grass and indigenous flora. The natural dramatic terrain has been incorporated into every hole to create a unique and challenging game for the best of golfers while providing a fun and thrilling experience for players of all levels.
It’s been said CostaBaja is a place where you can hear yourself breathe because your mind has finally stopped talking. There is no better way to experience the sensation than by cruising the calm turquoise waters of The Sea of Cortez. As you begin to relax, you succumb to the sounds of serenity, of the earth turning towards you for a change. Revel in its beauty, and find inspiration in its biodiversity. The magic of this place is where people come to unwind, to marvel, and to learn about a region that has a fascinating, rich history and ecosystem. CostaBaja’s mandate is to protect and preserve all of this.
When it comes to luxury and privacy, CostaBaja offers all the amenities you’d expect from a premier resort - and some you wouldn’t. Like Marina CostaBaja - a private, double-basin marina, including 250 slips from 30 to 200 feet. It boasts the largest fuel dock in the bay with special rates for patrons, built-in pump out stations with TV and Internet access available at each dock, and 24-hour security with a complete suite of exclusive Total Boat Care services from our team of nautical pros.

“The Sea of Cortez is a marine aquarium with the largest diversity of life we can find on earth.” — Jacques Cousteau Espiritu Santo and neighboring islands are protected by the government and offer visitors an array of oncein-a-lifetime activities and eco-tour adventures.
SUSTAINABILIT Y Since inception, our mission has included protecting the beautiful and delicate ecosystem that surrounds us. Our community is ensconced in nature where visitors can experience a multitude of new adventures to cherish for a lifetime. We have a vested interest in protecting the environment so that you can enjoy a magical and authentic experience. In 1995, Grupo Concord led a funding initiative to secure the acquisition of Isla Espiritu Santo, and its transfer to the Mexican Government. This monumental effort ensures that the island’s wildlife is protected by the government including “no catch” zones and protection of endemic species. CostaBaja was recently awarded Mexico’s most prestigious environmental care award, the Certificate of Tourist Environmental Quality by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (PROFEPA) for its green practices throughout our community. In addition, we uphold the environmental requirements set forth by the Environmental and Natural Resources Secretary (SEMARNAT) throughout our entire development process.
