In short

Diamante is a private golf and beach community on the Pacific coast, west of Cabo San Lucas. It brings together three acclaimed courses —Davis Love III's Dunes Course (named #1 in Mexico and Latin America and top 100 in the world by Golf Magazine), El Cardonal, the first course Tiger Woods ever designed, and the par-3 Oasis Short Course— plus a beach club along nearly a mile of shoreline. Access is private; the offer runs from residences in enclaves like Legacy Estates and Beach Estates to condominiums, priced in our inventory from USD $1.25M to $11.35M.

Cabo San Lucas has two coasts, and most buyers only know one. On the Sea of Cortez side sit the marina, the buzz, and the swimmable beaches. On the Pacific side, minutes away, sits Diamante — and anyone after privacy, world-class golf, and sunsets looks this way.

Why Diamante stands apart

Diamante was built around its golf, and not just any golf. The Dunes Course, designed by Davis Love III, has been named the best course in Mexico and Latin America and ranks among the top 100 in the world by Golf Magazine. Beside it stands El Cardonal, which holds a place in the sport's history: it is the first golf course Tiger Woods ever designed, opened in late 2014. Rounding it out is the Oasis Short Course, a par-3 also by Tiger's firm. Few addresses in the world gather three courses of this caliber behind a single gate.

The Pacific coast, honestly

It's worth saying plainly: Diamante's beach is open Pacific, with strong surf and currents — it's for walking, taking in the view, and watching whales in season, not for swimming as on the Corridor. In exchange, it offers what the other side can't: nearly a mile of undeveloped sand out front, a beach club with pools for calm water, and sunsets over the ocean that are, quite simply, this coast's selling point.

Where you live

Diamante is not a single neighborhood but a set of enclaves. Legacy Estates gathers some of the largest residences, with views over the golf and the sea. Beach Estates brings you closer to the sand. There are also villas and condominiums for those who want to enter with less square footage and the same access to the courses and the club.

Our inventory currently holds 29 properties in Diamante, from USD $1.25M to $11.35M. It is a community of homes built to keep, with a buyer profile that values championship golf and privacy over marina life.

The location

Diamante sits west of Cabo San Lucas, along the Pacific highway. That puts it minutes from Cabo's downtown and marina when you want the buzz, but far enough that the community feels a world of its own. The international airport lies across the municipality, a longer drive than from the Corridor — the price of privacy.

Fast close or unhurried close: when each one fits

Not every deal should close at the same speed, and choosing the wrong pace costs you either money or peace of mind.

A **fast close** makes sense when you arrive with funds ready, the property has clean history, and there is competition for it. Speed is your leverage there: a seller values a buyer who closes without drama over one who offers a little more and takes months. It is the card played by whoever does not need financing.

An **unhurried close** fits when something needs review: a property never properly deeded, a development still under construction, land with agrarian history, or when you are moving funds from another country and do not want the date squeezing you. Here, rushing is what is expensive.

What almost nobody does and should: decide the pace **before** negotiating, not along the way. The closing timeline is part of the offer — it is negotiated like the price, and sometimes it is worth more.

In a large community still being built out, that conversation belongs at the start.

Diamante rewards the serious golfer who wants a wilder, more private coast than the Corridor's. If that resonates with you, the next step is to see what's available today.
