Designing Desert Oases: Water Features at Del Mar Los Cabos

When people picture paradise, they often envision turquoise seas or dense, tropical greenery. Deserts? Not usually. But at Del Mar Los Cabos, we see things differently. Set where the Sonoran Desert meets the sea, our homes turn arid beauty into serene luxury. Here, water isn’t just a feature — it’s a design philosophy. 

Why Water Matters in Desert Design 

In a place known for warmth and dryness, water brings comfort, balance, and calm. It cools, soothes, and softens the landscape. Whether through sound, sight, or sensation, water enhances well-being and brings nature into daily life. 

Our pools and water features offer both aesthetic and therapeutic benefits. They transform homes into private resorts, support wellness, and celebrate the beauty of contrast—an oasis within the desert. 

Signature Pools: Artful and Intentional 

Every pool at Del Mar is a statement. More than a place to swim, it’s a central gathering space designed to suit your lifestyle. Some of our most requested styles include: 

• Infinity-Edge Pools: These pools appear to flow directly into the Sea of Cortez, blurring the line between manufactured and natural beauty. 

• Beach Entrances: A gentle slope into the pool mimics a natural shoreline, making it as inviting as it is functional. 

• Sunken Lounges: Set within or beside the pool, these seating areas are ideal for conversation and connection. 

• Swim-Up Bars: Effortless entertaining meets resort-style relaxation. 

Sustainability
guides every decision. We use energy-efficient pumps, saltwater systems that are gentler on skin, and water-wise landscaping with native plants to support the desert environment. 

Beyond the Pool: Subtle Luxury with a Big Impact 

Not all water features are pools. Many Del Mar homeowners opt for additions that enhance tranquility and visual interest: 

• Entryway Fountains: A warm welcome, with the soothing sound of flowing water. 

• Courtyard Waterfalls: Water meets architecture in textured stone or tile, creating movement and masking outside noise. 

• Reflecting Ponds: Shallow basins that mirror the sky and add an elegant, peaceful presence to any garden. 

These features don’t just beautify a home; they contribute to a sensory environment that invites rest and reflection. 

Indoor-Outdoor Harmony 

Del Mar homes are built around the idea of flow — not just of water, but of movement and connection. Water features are placed with intention so that they can be enjoyed from multiple vantage points inside and out. 

• Retractable Glass Walls: Slide open to bring the outside in, with views of glimmering pools and fountains. 

• Shaded Lounges and Pergolas: Provide comfort throughout the day while maintaining sightlines to key water elements. 

• Al Fresco Dining: Outdoor kitchens and terraces are positioned to take in the sounds and sights of water during meals and gatherings. 

Personalized for You 

No two Del Mar homes are the same, and neither are their water features. Our design teams collaborate with each homeowner to bring their vision to life. Whether you want an integrated hot tub, a fire-and-water feature, a splash zone for the kids, or a serene pond for meditation, we build around how you live. 

Water features support both celebration and solitude. They’re where you gather with friends at sunset, where children play, and where you unwind after a long day.
