"Many a trip continues long after movement in time and space have ceased." wrote John Steinbeck.

At CostaBaja, that journey is as distinct as the footprints of the individuals who visit. Protecting the uniqueness of its environment would become the cornerstone of the developer's mission, an ongoing goal that always has been, and continues to be, treated with the utmost reverence.

What does this mean? It is about keeping cultural charm intact. It demands clustering development to ensure a small footprint. It means preserving original vegetation around an architecturally sound development.

It recognizes the fragility and vulnerability of the natural environment and the necessity of a harmonious balance between the visitors it welcomes now and in the future, and the original inhabitants -- human, plant, animal and marine. It insists on honoring and respecting that balance by keeping the Cortez Sea healthy and protecting the animal life that makes this region so unique.

The developer demonstrate his commitment to environmental sensitivity by leading the way. One involved the purchase of one of the Sea of Cortez's magnificent islands, specifically to donate it back to the government to ensure it will be protected and preserved in perpetuity. Another is the passion, dedication and respect with which the team has embraced the ecosystem in which they created a new community.

The developer insisted that a master plan be developed, one that would reflect its goals and objectives in this region, and ensure that a respect for the environment would be fundamental to the entire project.

In honoring this great purpose, it is proudly able to offer a world where the desert meets the sea with perfect natural harmony, a community ensconced in nature where visitors can experience a multitude of new best moments with which to define their life on earth.

Today, that vision has a name: CostaBaja Resort & Marina.
