WABI

WABI takes its name from the Japanese wabi-sabi philosophy —the beauty of the simple and imperfect— and brings it to the geography of El Chorro. The gated community brings together 34 lots of 1.000 m² in an elevated area just 600 meters from the ocean, where sea views and everyday tranquility are part of the deal. The 5.000 m² common area breathes the same calm: a small dam, plenty of nature and a little yoga house as the program's only concession. Technology appears where it adds value —smart security— and disappears where it gets in the way, with deliberately low maintenance fees. Minutes from La Barra, Manantiales and José Ignacio, WABI offers a life edited down to the essentials: land, sea, silence and design. A serene rarity in the coast's most sought-after corner.

The gated community brings together 34 lots of approximately 1.000 m² each, several with sea views, at a scale that ensures a small community and serene coexistence. The concept takes its name from the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi — the beauty of the simple and imperfect — and applies it consistently: the common area of 5.000 m² breathes calm, with a small dam as the heart of the landscape and a little yoga house as the only concession to built structures. Technology appears where it adds value, with a smart security system that protects without intruding, and disappears where it would get in the way. Running water and electricity services are already in place, so each owner can take on their house project whenever they choose, with total freedom to pick their architect and construction timeline.

WABI sits in the high part of El Chorro, just 600 meters from the ocean, in that fold of the coast where the ridges offer sea views and silence is still the rule. The location captures the best of the East within a radius of minutes: the beaches and restaurants of Manantiales just around the corner, the energy of La Barra on one side and the chic serenity of José Ignacio on the other. El Chorro has established itself as the refuge for those looking to live close to everything without it showing, and this neighborhood translates that spirit into real land: ample plots, greenery, sea air and neighbors who chose the same pact of quiet. Privacy here isn't an amenity, it's the scenery.

WABI offers an equation that the Manantiales–José Ignacio corridor market validates season after season: scarce land near the sea, an intimate scale, and deliberately low building fees. That last point matters more than it seems, because contained fees protect the owner's returns and widen the pool of future buyers. The upper part of El Chorro has been gaining value on the back of the resort's growing food and culture scene, and sea-view lots 600 meters from the beach are, simply, an asset that isn't reproduced. For those planning to build to rent, houses in El Chorro rank among the most sought-after for seasonal rental; for those building to live, the asset is the calm of the place itself.
