Irvine-based Montage Hotels & Resorts said it would develop Montage Los Cabos on Santa Maria Bay in Los Cabos, Mexico, its first international property.
Work on the resort began several years ago but was stymied by the recession and a Category 3 hurricane that hit Cabo San Lucas in September—described in news reports as the strongest storm ever to make landfall on the Baja Peninsula.
It’s “the absolute best location for a resort in all of Los Cabos,” said Montage Chief Executive Alan Fuerstman.
The resort will be part of the Maravilla Los Cabos development, a portfolio property of Ohana Real Estate Investors LLC, which until recently owned the Montage Laguna Beach.
Montage said the resort will have 122 guest rooms and suites, as well as 52 residences.
It’s scheduled to open in late 2017.
