  • Rating★ 4.6

CostaBaja Resort & Spa is located at Km 7.5 on the Carretera a Pichilingue, on a peninsula north of La Paz overlooking the Bay of La Paz and the Sea of Cortez. The resort sits within the broader CostaBaja marina development, a private enclave with a full-service marina capable of accommodating yachts and live-aboard vessels, giving the property a distinctly nautical character unlike the surf-and-beach resorts at the southern tip of the peninsula.

Located on the Sea of Cortez north of La Paz, CostaBaja occupies a private marina with beautiful views of the bay and offshore islands. The resort offers spacious villas, a large infinity pool, world-class spa, and excellent seafood restaurant. It's an ideal base for kayaking to Espíritu Santo Island and whale shark tours.

CostaBaja Resort & Spa is located at Km 7.5 on the Carretera a Pichilingue, on a peninsula north of La Paz overlooking the Bay of La Paz and the Sea of Cortez. The resort sits within the broader CostaBaja marina development, a private enclave with a full-service marina capable of accommodating yachts and live-aboard vessels, giving the property a distinctly nautical character unlike the surf-and-beach resorts at the southern tip of the peninsula. The Bay of La Paz serves as one of the primary departure points for the region's most celebrated marine wildlife experiences, including whale shark encounters (typically October to March), kayaking to Espíritu Santo Island UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, and sea lion colony visits.

The property comprises suites and villa-style accommodations; larger villas include full kitchens and multiple bedrooms suited to extended stays or groups. Most villas feature marina or bay views, and upper categories include private pools. The spa is one of the larger facilities in La Paz, with hydrotherapy circuits, volcanic stone treatments, and ocean-view treatment rooms. The infinity pool faces the bay and offshore islands, with Espíritu Santo Island visible from the water's edge on clear days.

Dining at the resort's main restaurant focuses on fresh seafood from the Sea of Cortez and Gulf of California, with preparations of local species including wahoo, mahi-mahi, and dogfish. A casual poolside bar and grill handles daytime food service. The marina's adjacent restaurant strip adds additional dining variety within easy walking distance of the property.

Water sports infrastructure includes kayak rentals, paddleboard rentals, and guided snorkelling tours. The concierge maintains active relationships with established whale shark and manta ray tour operators departing from the nearby Pichilingue terminal.

Tips for visiting

  • Book whale shark and Espíritu Santo tours through the concierge at least 48 hours in advance during peak season (November to March) — departures are early morning and seats sell out quickly
  • Upper-level villas have the clearest bay views; lower units near the marina entrance have more ambient boat noise but are closer to the docks for early departures
  • La Paz's Malecón promenade and main restaurant strip are about 8 km away — a 15-minute taxi or rideshare ride; the resort does not operate regular town shuttles
