About Espiritu del Mar
Espiritu del Mar was founded in 2009 by Del Mar, A Hatfield Company β the same developer behind Villas del Mar β on the ocean side of Palmilla. It is the newer and more architecturally contemporary of the two, built into the hillside in distinct groupings: The Ledges, Remanso, and the Casitas and Villas.
Ownership carries the same club package as Villas del Mar: Club Ninety Six on Palmilla Beach and Club Espiritu at the Espiritu Town Center. That is the neighbourhood's core proposition, and it is a substantial one.
Thirty closed sales in five years, in a range from $3.6M to $16.25M, make this a serious and liquid market. And yet there is a real problem in the record: not one listing in five years states an HOA figure. Two listings set a billing period and leave the amount blank. For homes at this level that is a gap worth resolving before you commit, not after.

What it costs to hold
Neighbourhood assessment
No fee figure appears anywhere in five years of listing data for this neighbourhood. That is a genuine gap rather than an absence of a fee β every Palmilla neighbourhood assesses something. Request the current budget and assessment schedule from the association before you write an offer; we obtain it for every client.
The Palmilla master assessment
Billed separately from, and in addition to, your neighbourhood fee. It covers shared roads, gates, security and common landscaping. The current amount is not published and the figures circulating in listings are irreconcilable, so we do not print one β request the master budget before you write an offer.
Del Mar club membership
Ownership here carries access to Club Ninety Six, the private beach club on Palmilla Beach, and Club Espiritu, the wellness club at Espiritu Town Center. Both are reserved for Del Mar homeowners β buying elsewhere in Palmilla does not get you in. Initiation, transfer and annual dues are set by the clubs, are not published, and change.
Golf
Ownership anywhere in Palmilla establishes eligibility to apply for the One&Only Palmilla Golf Club, not membership itself. Since 1 January 2025 the Arroyo and Mountain nines have been restricted to club members and One&Only resort guests. Initiation, dues and transfer terms are set by the club and are not published.
Also budget for
- Annual bank trust (fideicomiso) fee
- A share of the Palmilla collective storm insurance
- Acquisition tax and closing costs
- Property management if the home sits unoccupied
What is not published
Rental policy. Short-term rental is evidently practised across Palmilla, but no minimum stay, registration requirement or cap is documented in any public source. Pet policy. Palmilla is described community-wide as pet-friendly; no neighbourhood-level rule is published. Construction. Architectural review exists at both master and neighbourhood level, but no build-start or completion deadline is published. If any of these matter to your plan, we obtain the governing documents before you go firm.
Who Espiritu del Mar suits
Espiritu del Mar suits a buyer who wants the Del Mar club package and contemporary architecture, and who is buying at a level where a five-figure annual assessment is not the deciding factor. Given the fee gap, it particularly suits a buyer willing to make the offer contingent on seeing the association's current budget.
