Costa Palmas Legal Information Center


This website has been created to provide historical information, legal documents, governance materials, and other resources relating to legal actions that have been brought against the owner and operator of the Costa Palmas development in Baja California Sur, Mexico.

Costa Palmas is a luxury master-planned resort and residential community located in La Ribera, on the East Cape of Baja California Sur, Mexico. Originally conceived as the Cabo Riviera project, the development has evolved over more than two decades into a prominent luxury destination, featuring the Four Seasons Resort and Residences, Aman, a deep-water marina, championship golf, beach clubs, residential communities and related amenities.

Today, Costa Palmas continues to develop and expand. At the same time, certain aspects of the development’s governance, administration and planned modifications are the subject of ongoing civil proceedings before the courts of Baja California Sur.
