The partners of Marena Development, in 1989, decided to take beautiful piece of the Baja coast in a well know cove, south of Rosarito, to create the most luxurious, premium, residential resort that the area had ever seen.

Club Marena- Luxury Living in Relaxed Riviera Style
A VISION OF LUXURY REALIZED
The land was originally owned by the Cota family and was a popular camping spot from as far back as the 1940’s.

The charm of the architecture and the well planned layout of this location are exceptional and were unprecedented, at the time, in this sleepy village in the area south of Rosarito know as Bahia Descanso, “restful bay”. This area represented the premium Rosarito Real Estate and a unique geography on this section of the coast at the time of construction.
People who know the area are very cognizant of the unique micro-climate in this locality. Southern orientation, with coastal hills, keep the winds side shore, the weather patterns a little sunnier and the area more temperate than just 15 minutes up the coast.
