Old World Mexico in Sunny Perfection
Maravilla is located approximately 45 miles north of Cabo San Lucas and 45 miles south of the city of La Paz, on the west coast of Baja's peninsula. Situated within close proximity of the Tropic of Cancer, the region receives sun-kissed weather year round with an average temperature of 88 degrees inland, 80 degrees coastal. The ocean temperature averages 73 degrees. The cove of Maravilla enjoys the moderate coastal temperatures throughout the property, while sheltering it from humid moisture.
The coast off Maravilla is also the recipient of a unique ocean current system, affecting only a portion of the Baja shoreline. The currents bring in water several degrees cooler than the rest of Baja. This slight change in water temperate has a profound climate impact on Maravilla, creating a summertime high that is 12 degrees cooler than Cabo San
Lucas (which can exceed 95 degrees.) With diminished humidity, and a wintertime high four degrees warmer than Cabo San Lucas (which can be as low as 60 degrees,) this cooler water temperature also decreases the regions risk of hurricanes, which tend to form in warmer waters.
Cultural Location
Located just 2 miles from Maravilla is the city of Todos Santos meaning "all saints". Todos Santos was awarded the prestigious honor of being named the "Pueblo Magico" for the state of Baja Sur. Only one town per Mexican state receives this lifetime honor of being the most "magical" and receives additional government funds for improvements and upkeep, as well as prohibiting nontraditional commercial development (Costco/Walmart etc.) This ensures that the town will remain quaint. Todos Santos was the pueblo chosen in all of Baja.
This quaint Spanish colonial artist town is the home of nearly 8,500 inhabitants and boasts a colorful plaza, pottery shops and art galleries. It has traditional Mexican ambiance reminiscent of Puerto Vallarta in the 1950's. The history of Todos Santos is rich in agricultue and was once the most influential agricultural region in all of Baja. With prolific sugar cane, tomato and pepper production from abundant underground water, it supplied much of the region with produce.
Just 45 minutes to the south of Maravilla is the city of Cabo San Lucas. Guests who wish for a vibrant nightlife can find it within a reasonable evening drive or taxi.
