About this property

"The Aquarium of the World" at your feet

Find the paradise on Earth - Paraiso del Mar!
Our beautiful 2 bedroom / 3 bathroom 1500 sf condo is located right on the beach in Paraiso del Mar Resort in La Paz. Additional 400 sf of covered terraces look straight at the Sea of Cortez. Each bedroom and the living room have their own terrace. Watch dolphins swim by while having meals on the terrace. Prepare your meals in the fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops or come down to ear in our Survivor Pool Bar and Restaurant. You can even eat in in the pool - there is a swim-up bar! Guests rave about their delicious food and cocktails; fish is caught and prepared daily. They can prepare your own catch too! Private dinners in your condo are also available.

Each of our two large master suites has its own bathroom, a King bed, and a terrace. The condo features full kitchen, 10-ft ceilings, travertine floors and granite countertops. The living room has a Queen pull-out sofa bed. This unit C403 is on the 4th floor with a direct view of the ocean, 50-meter pool, jacuzzi and the beach. The condo is beautifully furnished, decorated in warm Mexican colors, and well-stocked.

Paraiso del Mar is one-of-a-kind community with an 8-mile long virgin and secluded beach, an Arthur Hills golf course and tennis courts. It's very safe as it occupies the whole peninsula across the channel from La Paz downtown. A free boat shuttles between La Paz and Paraiso del Mar. The 8-minute ride is much fun, everybody loved it. As you step off the boat, a free shuttle van will take you to the condos (a 3-minute ride). All employees of the resort are very friendly, helpful and accommodating - you will feel welcome and loved there!

The Sea of Cortez is home for countless species of marine plants and animals, forming such a unique ecosystem that it was baptized by Jacques Cousteau as "The Aquarium of the World." You might see dolphins right from the terrace of your condo. Or for closer encounters with marine life go sea kayaking (kayaks are available for guests) or on a whale watching or fishing trip. Whale sharks are often seen in Paraiso del Mar waters and you can kayak close to swim with them. The incredible island of Ispiritu Santo is just a short boat ride away.

Every year, sea turtles lay eggs on our beach. Our residents protect the nests, and when small turtles hatch, residents and vacationers participate in the ceremony of releasing the turtle babies to the sea, protecting them from dangers of reaching the water themselves.

The beach is amazing and safe. It's quite shallow for a long distance, so even babies can safely enjoy the water.

There are yoga classes by the pool, three times a week. Extra mats are available. Private yoga class and massage are available. Pilate classes 9-10 am every Monday and Friday (as of Feb 2, 2023).

La Paz downtown is a short boat ride away. You can enjoy a walk along the Malecon, visit restaurants and shopping areas. Everything is within walking distance, so you can save on rental car. It will be cheaper and easier to hire a taxi or Uber a couple of times when you want to visit another beach or go food shopping.

And if you have a car with you, don't plan on driving all the way to Paraiso del Mar. The road is long and not paved on the peninsula, you would need a 4WD. But you can safely leave your car near La Paz dock along the curb or on the paid parking before boarding the boat.

Great
Property was really nice and everything we needed provided. Fun location. The only slight negative is getting food. Hard to shop and take much food on the shuttle and only 1 restaurant option in the entire peninsula. But with some advance planning we definitely recommend.

Perfect place to stay
The property is beautiful with wonderful access to the beach. Condos are set up perfectly with all condos having a view of the ocean but still have privacy. Restaurant is delicious. The staff are all helpful and courteous. Van drivers are always on time. We will definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Elena

Host profile image
My husband and I traveled to La Paz a few times and fell in love with the city, its people and the wondrous marine world of the Sea of Cortez. We are very lucky to have been able to acquire a condo in Paraiso del Mar – a very unique resort. We enjoy traveling to all three our vacation destinations, buying stuff for our vacation rentals, renting out and making new friends.

Why they chose this property

This is an absolutely unique location - on a private peninsula yet just a 10-minute boat ride from a downtown of the most charming and peaceful Mexican city, boasting excellent dining and entertainment. La Paz means "peace" and it lives true to its name. You will feel peaceful and happy under its vast skies, surrounded with Baja mountains and illuminated by the most beautiful sunsets in the world.

What makes this property unique

This unit has a million-dollar views and the balconies face north - straight at the sea - always shaded from the sun.
