This comprehensive 2026 guide walks you through everything you need to know about booking your perfect condo, from floor plan selection to seasonal timing strategies that maximize your vacation value.
What Encantame Resorts Offers: A Real-World Overview
Encantame Resorts represents a master-planned luxury community situated on the shores of the Sea of Cortez in Puerto Peñasco, Mexico. The development comprises three distinct offerings designed to serve different guest preferences and travel styles.
Encantame Towers serves as the flagship property, featuring three completed 24-story buildings named Velero, Verano, and Viento. According to information published on Encantame.co, each tower contains approximately 100 condominiums, totaling 313 beautifully designed units across the complex. The towers achieved full completion status, with all three buildings now operational and accepting reservations through the official booking system.
Encantame Soleil represents the newest addition to the resort community. Construction began in spring 2023 on the first of three planned towers: Rendezvous, Jubilee, and The Residence. According to Encantame Resorts’ official documentation, the Rendezvous tower began deliveries in 2025, with Jubilee scheduled for 2026 delivery. This development will add 318 additional condos to the resort’s inventory.
Encantame Estates provides a gated beachfront community offering custom home sites with private beach access for those seeking permanent or semi-permanent residence options.
The resort’s location on Playa Encanto positions it approximately 15 minutes east of downtown Puerto Peñasco.
