Vidanta East Cape update. For years upper level Vidanta members have been anxiously waiting for the opening of the Vidanta Cabo East Cape. For years, there has been a Grand Mayan resort in San Jose del Cabo. It is much smaller than Vidanta Riviera Maya or Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta. It is a beautiful resort right on the beach and is a perfect base camp for exploring the baja peninsula. However, there has been a plan for a large high end Vidanta resort on the East Cape and it is now OPEN ! .
Perfect Location
So what's the big deal? The tip of the Baja is beautiful, but the the swimming is treacherous in all but a few special swimmable areas. The East Cape faces the calm waters of the Sea of Cortes (also known as the Gulf of California). It is has remote untouristed beaches , and a rugged desert landscape. The perfect location for a premiere luxury resort. This Vidanta East Cape update is happy to report that the first stage is now complete, The estates pools opened in October 2024.
Vidanta Estates East Cape Open Now
The original plan was for a Grand Luxxe and above resort with a massive salt water swimming pool. Perhaps the largest in the world. We are not sure where we are with the long term plans, but right now there are one, two, three, and four bedroom Estates open. When completed, this will be the most exclusive and luxury focused Vidanta location yet. It won't have the liveliness of the soon to come VidantaWorld theme park, but it will have an incredible location and an incomparable elegance. And there is a plan to add a Cirque du Soleil like the one in Riviera Maya.
Golf is Coming
The final project is expected to be 3,000 acres, complete with an 18 hole Greg Norman designed golf course. In the meantime, there is a driving range and some practice holes. There is golf pro on site and you can schedule your lessons now.
Vidanta East Cape Location and Getting There
You don't get an exclusive location without a little travel time. It is located around 30 minutes from San Jose del Cabo following the East Cape road north. However, it is almost an hour from the SJO airport because the Rio San Jose estuary makes it necessary to drive all the way to San Jose (I know, I know, it sounds like 60’s pop song) before heading back north to the East Cape.
Current Construction Status
There have been many optimistic predictions for the opening of the Vidanta East Cape. The first Estates building was opened in summer 2024 with the estates. We don't know what's coming next.
Pools and Restaurants
Pools
So as you can see, The huge saltwater pool and verdant resort are not imminent. Right now there is the spectacular Gulf and some beautiful Estates pools.

Restaurants
There is currently one restaurant open with a second one coming very soon. If you know of other restaurants in the area, please leave a comment or email us.

Yes, keep me informed
I was there to check it out. Great venue, great location. But the smell and the toxic air from the burning nearby dump was nauseating and is highly toxic. Had a hard time briefing even after a short period. If this can’t be avoided and fixed in the foreseeable future, you will have a very hard time welcoming guests.
Than you for the feedback. We have not been there yet, but all the reports have been positive. So, I am hoping this was a temporary issue, but we will keep our eyes on all the forums. Personally, we are waiting for just a bit more infrastructure to visit ourselves. We have been to Cabo Pulmo, just up the coast and it is beautful.
Will do Ken. We try to update this whenever we get new info.
