Bajamar

Living on a beach front resort is something many of us fantasize about, no matter the age. The smell of the sea in the air, the ocean a few steps away, the sound of waves in the background while reading a book or falling a sleep, will sometimes  make your imagination run wild considering a life in a place where your day begins and ends with the crash of a wave.

Anyone who has ever traveled to Ensenada and has considered living by the beach has probably wondered what it would be like to live in Bajamar.  The entrance to this golf resort community is unmistakable and eye catching, giving you an impression of an oasis in the middle of the Baja desert.

A 40 minute drive from the San Ysidro border will bring you to an extension of over 1600 acres, the setting for one of the best known golf resorts in Baja. Lagos, Vista and Oceano are its 3 nine hole golf courses, plus its Putting Green, Chipping Green, Stadium Style Driving Range and Pro Shop, continually attract visitors mainly from California and Arizona, always delivering on promises of a good golfing experience followed by margaritas, good food and a bed to catch up on some much needed rest in the Hacienda Style Hotel, go for a swim or perhaps a round of tennis in the club house.

Aside from its reputation for good golfing, Bajamar is currently adding to its real estate by expanding the number of homes within the resort with the Mission Coronado, Mission Padre Kino, Santa Barbara and Oceano communities, plus the Costa Bajamar Luxury Condominiums towers. For those who prefer a custom home, Bajamar also offers lots fro sale for home development up to 3 stories.

The question to answer now would be what is there to do outside of the resort?

A 20 minute drive will get you to Ensenada city, where you can find fine dining, movie theaters, grocery stores, museums, and a stop to the fish market is must to stock up on seafood or for a taste of Ensenada’s delicious fish tacos and cocktails, visit the museums and the cultural center for art music and dance exhibitions.
