Punta Ballena is a master planned community renowned for its privacy, seclusion, and awe-inspiring sense of arrival, Punta Ballena offers one of very few environments suitable for an experience like the world renowned Esperanza Resort, an Auberge hotel. Punta Ballena is made up of Esperanza and two communities that take single family living in the Baja to a new level. The community of Las Villas sits directly to the west of Esperanza and is made up of 28 Villas that follow the plan and style of the founders of Punta Ballena. On the other side of Esperanza sits Las Residencias which is a collection of 54 estate-sized lots, many of which have been designed and developed to the taste of the individual owners. Both communities reach down onto the crashing surf of the Sea of Cortez and have exclusive access to tennis courts, two miles of walking trails, and the incomparable Punta Ballena Beach Club The Auberge Private Residences at Esperanza offer a fortunate few the ability to blend memory and opportunity, making the experience of their times spent at Esperanza a part of their lives for ever. Here, you’re immersed in the delicious feeling of barefoot sophistication — timeless, relaxing and elegant. At the resort, you are surrounded by people such as yourself – the discerning traveler who understands how rare it is to discover a place that consistently delivers a superlative resort experience, in one of world’s most sought-after locations. As an owner of a Private Residence, you possess a remarkable home in a spectacular setting, while being part of the Esperanza experience where service, amenities and cuisine combine to celebrate the art of living. The resort is a sanctuary of timeless relaxation and intuitive service. As an owner of one of our Auberge Private Residences, your exclusive privileges elevate your access and your experiences, from priority table and time reservations at Esperanza's restaurants, to personal attention from our chef. From the moment you consider purchasing here, you are immersed in our exceptional level of personalized service. Whether you choose to join the pool-side barbecue or meet new friends at the cocktail party on the Resort’s grounds, Esperanza becomes part of your extended home and its refined, effortless living becomes part of your way of living. Thoughtful design, attention to detail and quality construction are at the foundation of the striking collection of homes. With 3000-square-feet all on one level, living areas are extremely spacious, and large terraces offer excellent vantage points to the Sea of Cortés coastline and Land's End. Finishes include granite countertops in the kitchens with natural stone, wood, iron, and marble accents throughout the interiors. Master bedrooms feature oversized bathrooms with a separate shower, bathtub and double sink, while a large walk-in closet adds to the overarching feeling of spaciousness. In both the interiors and exteriors, a sense of place is evoked by subtle references to culture and craftsmanship. You’ll find hand-fired clay roof tiles, stone work in the style of 19th century tapetes (tapestries), and cantera-style columns and archways specific to Mexican building traditions. Each detail adds to the feeling of charm, authenticity and sense of place that is at the heart of Esperanza.
