About El Dorado
What makes El Dorado different
El Dorado sits between Palmilla and the Sea of Cortez, a few minutes north of San Jose del Cabo. The community is built around a Greg Norman golf course, with two miles of uninterrupted private beachfront.
Where Palmilla can feel resort-y, El Dorado is residential. There's no major hotel on the property — just homes, the golf course, and a clubhouse. Buyers here are typically primary-residence owners or families who use the home 8+ weeks per year.
Pricing has moved up steadily since 2020 and inventory stays tight. Buy here if you want a real neighborhood, not a hotel-adjacent enclave.

FAQ
El Dorado, answered
Is El Dorado primarily owner-occupied?
Yes. Roughly 70-80% of owners are primary residents or use the home 8+ weeks/year. That keeps the community feel residential — you'll see the same families at the beach club, not weekly turnover.
How does the beach club work?
Included with home ownership. Pool, restaurant, lounge chairs, beach palapas. Access is restricted to residents + their houseguests — no day passes, no resort overlap.
How is El Dorado different from Palmilla?
Palmilla has the One&Only resort, golf, and a more visible social scene. El Dorado is quieter, more residential, no major hotel. Same beachfront caliber, less foot traffic. Palmilla for the social second home, El Dorado for living.
Is rental income viable in El Dorado?
Yes but moderate. A 5-bed beachfront home rents for $4,000-$12,000/night peak season, books 14-22 weeks/year. Lower volume than Palmilla because El Dorado is less known to renters — but rates are competitive.
