It’s Cabo Time! Villas at Las Ventanas Al Paraiso

Posted on by

There are a few lovely hotel choices in Cabo and the Rosewood Las Ventanas Al Paraiso  expanded with oceanfront Villas. You can’t get any closer to the shimmering Sea of Cortez. Last year’s hurricane closed all the resorts in Cabo but they have made a stunning comeback and have been welcoming visitors.

Exterior EveningThe sparkling diamond sea is mere footsteps away from these Villas. There are one and two bedroom Villas and the grand three bedroom Presidential Villa, each are simply but elegantly furnished, oozing luxury and providing a very defined sense of place. Las Ventanas al Paraíso is renowned for personalized service, and now these remote Villas provide the ultimate in privacy. Your dedicated butler service is available 24 hours.

Cocoon into the environment, seduced by the sea, the sand and the serenity – do plan the ultimate escape where your only responsibility is to be pampered by the attentive butlers, both poolside and beach side.

The enchantment of the Villa is heightened at nightfall when the Los Cabos skies come alive with millions of stars.

Guests can delight in the finest ceviche and tequila while watching the sunset from the outdoor Jacuzzi or stargaze by the light of the adobe fire pit.

Whale watching from your terrace, listen for the blow of the conch shell when your dedicated butler alerts you to the frolicking pods of whales cavorting in the Sea of Cortez.

Our clients are always on the VIP List and amenities flow through the door!

On The Edge Capella Pedregal

Posted on by

Capella Pedregal, the premier spa resort in Cabo San Lucas, sits on the southernmost tip of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula. Encompassing 24 spectacular mountainside and oceanfront acres, the luxury resort rests at the very point where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez, near the legendary rock formations known as Land’s End.

The beach resort is reached via the only privately owned tunnel in Mexico, Dos Mares. Carved through the heart of the mountain, the tunnel is a 300-meter long engineering feat that separates the town of Cabo from the Pacific Ocean.

Driving through the torch lit shadowy tunnel is quite surreal, a short plunge into darkness, opening to an incredibly dramatic entrance. Guests are deposited at the resort’s entrance courtyard, overlooking a long expanse of beach and the surf. Pounding ocean and massive granite walls circle the resort. Drama sets the tone.

The landscaping is stark and appropriate; it would be impossible to compete with the massive stone surroundings. Beachfront suites are great for families or nesting away from the paparazzi. Corner suites with individual infinity pools look daunting, as the water literally falls off the face of the building. Don’t drink and dive.

El Farallon restaurant is perched on the tip of the point, again, dramatic. Surf pounds the sea wall; foam occasionally misting diners. Sunsets are theatrical with guests arriving in sync with the setting sun. Fresh fish caught each afternoon; diners are directed to the fish bar to personally select catch of the day, chef shares species and the preparation.

Desserts- oh my, more drama! The restaurant manager, Gabriel, conspired with my most excellent waiter, Luis to have me personally test his new collection of desserts. Not realizing he would bring me a platter filled with offerings, I gamely tried a bite of each delectable delight. Who knew there were gourmet churros or donuts to be dipped in chocolate sauce…

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERASpa looked heavenly, I missed my appointment will have to return for an afternoon of pampering.
