Calafia Condos

Calafia Condos Resort and Villas | Calafia Rosarito

Heading south of the Rosarito-Ensenada toll-free road, the Calafia towers are hard to miss. They have become a landmark of the Rosarito coastal scenery, along with surfing, delicious lobster with flower tortillas, fish tacos, world-class furniture, and all the lifestyle amenities Baja California is famous for.

The Calafia name is taken from García Rodríguez de Montalvo’s fictional novel ‘The Exploits of Esplandian’ written in 1510. One of its chapters tells the story of Calafia, a beautiful warrior-queen who ruled over a kingdom of Black women living on the mythical Island of California. Strong and brave, she was the most beautiful woman on earth.

Calafia Condos Resort and Villas sits right next to the historical Calafia Mission, one of the famed Catholic establishments from the 1700s, which is now home to a museum, hotel, restaurant, and small shopping area. It is a must-see attraction for anyone interested in the area´s unique history and mystique.

While newer communities have come and gone amidst turmoil and scandal, Calafia Condos Resort & Villas stands tall, having become one of the most respected and stable private residential neighborhoods in Rosarito.

If you´ve never been to Calafia, there are many things you may not know about it.
