227 lots between two lagoons and José Ignacio bay, with its own club and beach club

About

Laguna Escondida is a gated neighbourhood of 227 lots at km 185 of Route 10, east of José Ignacio village. Sales materials put it at about 120 hectares in two parcels. The larger one, north of the road, has dunes, woodland and two lagoons; one of them is a reserve for native plants and wildlife. The second parcel, on the beach, holds the Beach Club and part of the lots.

Lots range from 1,600 to 6,700 m², with sea, lagoon, countryside or woodland views. Sources link architect Carlos Ott to the project; the owners of the development company are not publicly named.

The Main Club sits on the lagoon shore. It has a lookout tower, an infinity pool, a spa, a gym and a restaurant. The Beach Club is a beach bar with umbrella and lounger service, boat storage and water sports such as kayaking, kitesurfing and paddle boarding, plus its own restaurant. There is a kids’ club with its own lagoon and pool, tennis and padel courts, bicycles for the internal roads, hotel-serviced cabins and a lagoon-side chapel used for events.

The neighbourhood has 24-hour security and is largely built up. The official site lists houses for seasonal rental. In 2025–2026 advertised lots ranged from about U$D 310,000 (1,681 m²) to U$D 1.3 million (5,899 m²), and reported common charges were about U$D 270–333 a month.
