CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico, Feb. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Chileno Bay Resorts & Residences opened its doors today, ushering in a new expression of contemporary luxury to the Cabo landscape.

"Chileno Bay Resort & Residences becomes our second exceptional resort in the dynamic destination of Los Cabos," said Dan Friedkin, Chairman, Auberge Resorts Collection. "We are particularly excited to be collaborating with another premier luxury brand, Discovery Land Company, to introduce a boutique luxury resort to its exclusive private community of Chileno Bay.
