history
In 2005, Jeffrey Curtiss traveled from Cap D’Antibes, France, to La Paz to visit his son James, who had moved there years earlier and founded the Cortez Club dive school. Curious about why James never wanted to return home, Jeffrey arrived expecting a short visit — but instead discovered a destination unlike any other.

Falling in Love with La Paz
Jeffrey was completely mesmerized by the turquoise waters, stunning sunsets, white sand beaches, and the warmth of the local people. The beauty of La Paz made an immediate impact on him, helping him finally understand why his son chose to stay. What began as a visit soon became something much more meaningful: Jeffrey fell in love with Baja California Sur and decided to make it his home too.
Timeless Architecture & Craftsmanship
Inspired by timeless and classic architecture, the project was designed to feel as though it had always belonged there — seamlessly integrated into the topography and built to endure for generations. Quality, distinction, and artisan craftsmanship became the foundation of every space, creating an atmosphere that feels both refined and deeply authentic.
A Place to Heal & Belong
More than just a destination, the vision was to create a sanctuary for those who value personalized service, beautiful weather, and a genuine indoor-outdoor lifestyle. A place where nature and comfort coexist effortlessly, inviting guests to slow down, reconnect, and feel at home.
The Beauty of Playa El Caimancito
The first glimpse of Playa El Caimancito feels almost untouched by time. Its pristine white sand and calm turquoise waters remain much as they were centuries ago, evoking the wonder early explorers must have experienced upon arrival. Far from crowded beaches, this hidden paradise offers a rare sense of serenity — as if your footsteps were the very first to touch the shore.
