Fred Segal: Enlightenment in EsperanzaFred Segal doesn’t consider his home in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, a retreat. Rather, he sees it as a way of life. “To me,” he says, “this is not a getaway—this is how I live.”
Segal has homes in Malibu, Montecito and Palm Desert, Calif., and is building a new getaway in Nevada on the shores of Lake Las Vegas. But he seems most enamored of his properties in Cabo, particularly his most recent Mexican acquisition: an oceanfront villa at Esperanza, where a few privately owned villas are mixed in with the luxurious 56-room Auberge Resort. “This is the most naturally beautiful beachfront I’ve ever seen,” says the 71-year-old peace activist, author, fashion entrepreneur, water lover and self-described health nut. “Esperanza has a wonderful spirit about it.”

The retail clothing boutiques that bear his name—regular celebrity stomping grounds now run by his son—are legendary in Los Angeles and continue to help dictate the tenor of global fashion.
