Disney Reveals First Look at Cotino Bay, Its Inaugural Storyliving Community

The Cotino Bay community is under development in California’s Coachella Valley, and behind-the-scenes access is now available. The Blueprint, a new online resource, will provide updates on the construction of this first Storyliving by Disney community. The progress, from foundation work to landscaping, is being documented as the community is built in Rancho Mirage.

Construction is moving right along as the Cotino community gets ready to welcome its first residents home to the Coachella Valley.

Disney recently shared a photo of the dazzling Cotino Bay! Featuring the clearest turquoise waters with Crystal Lagoons technology, this will be the perfect place for swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding and more. Interested in taking a dip? Access to Cotino Bay and its surrounding beaches will be available to residents through a voluntary membership at the Artisan Club, planned to open this fall, or to visitors through ticketed admission to Cotino Bay Beach in the town center, planned to open in 2026.

Soon, residents and their guests can take in the stunning views while going on a morning bike ride, walking the dog or taking a sunset stroll around the picturesque, mile-long promenade.

Beyond revealing new photos of Cotino Bay, the community also opened additional model homes from California-based homebuilders Woodbridge Pacific Group and Davidson Communities. These builders truly embraced the Cotino lifestyle by maximizing indoor-outdoor living with distinct floorplans designed to showcase the surrounding area.

Large, open layouts make these homes ideal for hosting dinner parties and game nights, celebrating birthdays and enjoying time with family and friends.

This fall, the Artisan Club and Parr House will open, adding to the incredible amenities Cotino has to offer. Can you spot the home’s iconic outline taking shape in the construction photo below?

Next year, the town center will provide residents and visitors with a curated mix of local and regional restaurants and shops including an open-air artist market – a lively destination to meet up with friends or spend time with family. The town center will also offer access to Cotino Bay Beach where you can spend the day along the bay’s sandy shores, soaking up the sun and staying cool in the water.

There’s so much to look forward to as Cotino continues to build out!
