A look at the innovative amenities available at Copala
By Carol S. Billups
Let’s face it. When you buy a home in Los Cabos, you’re not buying a building; you’re buying a lifestyle. Developers, especially those behind the newer gated communities, spend as much time addressing their clients’ lifestyle needs as they do the floor plans of the houses and condominiums they will offer. The amenities will shape your enjoyment of your new home and will be the means for you to meet neighbors and form friendships, especially for those of you who plan to live here only part time. So it behooves you and your agent to pay attention to the amenities and determine which are the best fit for your interests.
Copala, a new project within the Quivira master-planned community, offers a novel array of amenities that go far beyond the Nicklaus Signature golf course and beach club available through the Quivira association.
The Good Life amenity package is based on five basic pillars: the Holistic Club, the Organic Life, the Yacht Club, the Cultural Club, and the Wine Club. The Holistic Club offers nature trails, where you can tone your body, quiet your mind, and nourish your soul within the natural beauty of Baja. Yoga, Tai Chi, and other classes will be offered in addition to spa services.
The Organic Life element brings owners closer to nature with access to the Quivira Organic Garden and Market. In the market residents can choose to be vendors, selling their homegrown organic produce, or buyers. Experts will be available for consultations, and camaraderie between residents will be encouraged.
Anyone who’s owned a boat knows that there are headaches and hard work involved. The Copala Yacht club will give residents access to a variety of fully captained and crewed yachts for fishing trips, sunset cruises and overnight excursions. This will provide all the joy of a sea adventure without any of the day-to-day hassles of boat ownership.
While nature and natural pursuits are so much of the Copala lifestyle, the Cultural Club (Vida Cultural) will operate a multidisciplinary cultural center for art exhibitions, classes, and visits to art studios. Classes will be offered in all sorts of disciplines: from sculpture to music and theater. Art films, music, and plays will draw residents into a varied cultural experience.
Copala’s Wine Club will offer other unique experiences. The Wine Club will let owners delve into the exciting and delightful world of Mexican wine and learn the nuances of fine winemaking. Because of a partnership with a vineyard in México’s wine valley in Northern Baja, residents will have an opportunity to create custom blends to suite their own tastes and needs. This vineyard-to-table concept will surely set Copala apart from other residential communities in the area.
Yes, owning in Los Cabos is all about the lifestyle. You can arrange a personal tour by contacting any MLS-BCS (multiple–listing service) member agent. You can also visit www.copalaloscabos.com.
