Beautiful water-view location. Walking distance to all amenities. Casa Sarena is a lovely penthouse villa in a traditional Mexican hacienda - 2 bedrooms (king master room, queen 2nd room), one bath with two covered terraces.

The Sea of Cortez offers fantastic whale watching, deep sea fishing, kayaking, snorkeling, SCUBA, sailing, SUP, amazing beaches, and more! Land-lovers will enjoy tennis, golfing, cinema, theaters, culture, art, hiking; the list is endless. We believe Baja California Sur offers the finest seafood in the world.

Baja has won many awards for our fine wines and we expect to win more!

La Paz is home to one of Mexico's most prestigious marine biology universities, many excellent language schools, and offers year-around concerts, museums, live theater, and VIP cinemas.
