TO LOS CABOS! EDITOR’S LETTER CABO OFFERS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE, including miles of pristine beaches, bio-diverse azure waters, and unique desert landscapes with the spectacular backdrop of the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains. As a frequent visitor, I have had the privilege and honor to be a part of this fabulous destination for over 30 years. CaboVillas is committed to providing quality vacation services and, perhaps even more importantly, to ensuring ongoing sustainability within Los Cabos for generations to come. We encourage our guests to reduce waste and to avoid single-use plastics. We contribute to charitable organizations that support the community and to the Trillion Tree Campaign which plants trees that offset carbon in the atmosphere. We realize that jet travel creates a large carbon footprint and support solutions to reduce this impact.

Unfortunately, huge online travel companies have become so large that they are unable to provide high quality service. These companies also charge expensive extra booking fees which are passed on to the traveler. When you book direct with CaboVillas, you’ll enjoy personalized destination expertise and services with no hidden fees. In addition to our lowest pricing guarantee, we personally inspect each property prior to every arrival. As an added value, our villa bookings also include a special arrival welcome package, a dedicated on-site concierge throughout your stay, and a private courtesy airport transfer to the villa. It’s the details and small touches that make the difference. Our team is standing by and ready to help you plan your next dream vacation!

THE BEER OF LOS CABOS

aja Brewing has an 11-year history in Los Cabos, with a dozen beers, 3 impressive restaurant locations in the area and of course their brewing facility in San José del Cabo. Now, after 18 months in the works, they have a big new production facility in Tijuana to help cover their ever-expanding demand. “This is a collaborative project with the help of a local Tijuana Brewery with the capacity to brew for other brands as well,” says Jordan Gardenhire of Baja Brewing. The new facility can produce over three million bottles of beer per year and will be used to send product throughout Mexico as well as to markets in the US. Keep an eye on this exciting brand and “don’t forget the best part” adds Rob Kelly of Baja Brewing, “we make great beer!” ”

A masterpiece of contemporary architecture harmonizing with the IMPRESSIVE LOCATION and scenery, Villa Bellissima ranks among the most superb vacation estates in Los Cabos.

He explains that “the elevation shifts of the daytime living areas provides each area a totally UNOBSTRUCTED VIEW of Land’s End.” In the villa, visitors enjoy a range of worldclass amenities to rival a luxury resort. As Hites explains, “this villa is for those guests who expect NOTHING BUT THE FINEST .” Among the superior offerings at Villa Bellissima are an ocean-view gym, a fire pit, a professionalsized pool table, and a theater room with a 112” screen and reclining seating for 12 plus two wheelchair spaces.

While the views and decorative accents are focal points, the PRIVACY OF THE VILLA is also a highlight. “When you enter the villa and close the front door, you are in your own haven – it feels as though the outside world no longer exists,” says Hites. Often referred to as the “Beverly Hills of Cabo,” the Pedregal community offers a sense of EXCLUSIVITY AND SECURITY. Villa Bellissima takes it further, offering a private and tranquil location at the end of a cul-de-sac with no through traffic. Although the villa feels gloriously secluded, it is CONVENIENTLY SITUATED minutes via car to the heart of downtown Cabo and the world-class marina. A recent guest at Villa Bellissima says, “THE PLACE IS STUNNING. I BARELY WANTED TO LEAVE THE VILLA . The biggest

problem we had was deciding which swimming pool to lounge by." The villa includes a CONVENIENT ELEVATOR for easy access to each of the floors due to the sloping angle of the lot and the elevation above the beach. The living rooms are situated on the main floor with two pools, while bedrooms are located either a floor up or a floor down. Hites explains that another goal when design-

Villa Las Rocas — Relaxation Redefined

A

m

rriving at Villa las Rocas, you'll feel yourself begin to relax as you admire the awe-inspiring beauty of the natural surroundings, vibrant tropical vege-

tation, and captivating interior design. A breathtaking

resort-like vacation property like no other in Los Cabos, Villa Los Rocas boasts an incredible 1.6 acre beachfront setting cascading down a gently sloping natural rock formation. Tiered along the landscape with EXPANSIVE COMMON AREAS overlooking the shimmering sea, each

terrace offers a private patio with spacious shade areas perfect for entertaining or lounging. This EXTRAORDINARY ESTATE promises a truly memorable setting for family and

friends to enjoy. Designed by renowned architect Marco Aldaco, the villa is a MASTERWORK OF GENUINE MANZANILLO CONSTRUCTION and coastal style. Aldaco has been celebrated as one of

Mexico’s foremost architects by the world’s most prominent authorities. A central aspect of Aldaco’s style is the flowing interplay of interior and exterior spaces which blend seamlessly into one another. Devised to encourage gentle sea breezes and natural sunlight, the villa offers an impeccable mix of modern comfort and TRADITIONAL CHARM . The décor has been carefully chosen to showcase

time-honored Mexican artistry including handmade furnishings, colorful tile and intriguing folk art. Guests are greeted at Villa Las Rocas by an elaborately carved wooden entryway as the peaceful sounds of the surf carry on the breeze rustling through palm trees. MASTERFULLY CARVED by expert artisans, the massive wooden door depicts a sunburst, its face gazing joyfully above the waves as an alluring welcome for all who spend time at this private oceanfront retreat. The centerpiece of the outdoor living areas is the spectacular, multi-level 30,000 gallon swimming pool complete with a waterfall and footbridge. Guests can RELAX POOLSIDE or in the sparkling waters while admiring tran-

quil Sea of Cortez views or even whales as they make their way along the coastline during the migration season. The lower pool is nearly at the same elevation as the beach, with the sand literally steps away. The villa is well appointed to maximize the marvelous beachfront location, with pool toys, beach chairs, umbrellas, kayaks and standup paddle boards available for guest use. Enhancing the resort-like atmosphere, guest suites are situated in a series of individual casitas offering DISTINCTIVE AMENITIES. Ideal for families and groups, the villa’s

unique layout affords guests the comfort and privacy of their own independent sanctuaries combined with the convenience of large common areas to enjoy socializing.
