Enclave West #17

Perched high in the esteemed Puerto Los Cabos enclave, where the coastline unfolds in endless blue, Enclave West 17 rises above the Sea of Cortez like a tranquil overlook.

This six-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bath villa offers a unique combination of privacy, spaciousness, and horizon-to-horizon views from its elevated vantage point, creating the kind of atmosphere where days stretch long and unhurried. Its ability to capture the light, breeze, and peaceful rhythm of the Baja coast sets it apart from other modern Los Cabos Villas.

The sea immediately catches your eye as soon as you enter through the front door. The distinction between indoor and outdoor comfort is blurred by large indoor-outdoor living areas. Rich wood textures, sun-washed stone, and soft natural tones combine to create a welcoming, grounded space that is both sophisticated and carefree.

Wandering barefoot from sofa to poolside without ever feeling like you’ve left the house is encouraged by the living room’s full opening toward the terrace. The villa’s six well-designed suites, each with a private bathroom, make traveling in groups a breeze. Everyone has a place to retreat into silence, whether it’s for a late-night reading with the door open to hear the waves far below, a sunrise meditation on a private patio, or a midday siesta.

Enclave West 17 really comes to life outside. Along the edge of the terrace is a heated infinity pool whose mirrored surface records every change in the sky. A shallow sun shelf encourages languid relaxation or offers kids a secure area to splash while adults float close by. At dusk, when the horizon turns amber and the lights of San José start to sparkle in the distance, the Jacuzzi, which has a cinematic view of the sea, becomes the ideal meeting place.

The terrace is lined with six cushioned loungers that face the water, allowing for long periods of daydreaming, naps, and conversations while the ocean is constantly visible. The terrace is transformed into a vibrant area for leisurely afternoons and star-lit dinners with a complete outdoor kitchen that includes a gas grill, BBQ, fireplace, and prep counter. At night, fire pit seating draws people together for quiet moments and stories while the breeze blows through the palms.

Every day, the villa is elevated by thoughtful touches. Soft music is played over the terrace by an outdoor stereo system without upsetting the peace. In one of the comfortable alcoves next to the outdoor fireplace, where the light warms the stone and the sea seems closer than ever, morning coffee tastes even better. The villa’s interior is roomy without being overbearing, so big groups can congregate in comfort and split up into smaller discussions throughout the house.

Enclave West 17 has a serene, healing atmosphere that makes it easy to feel at home, whether you’re throwing a laid-back dinner, commemorating a milestone, or just taking some time to relax.

The villa’s location in Puerto Los Cabos puts you in the center of a top-notch, master-planned neighborhood on the more sedate, sophisticated side of San José del Cabo. Depending on the time of day, the marina, which offers sailing trips, fishing charters, and beachside dining options, is normally ten to fifteen minutes away by car.

It usually takes 15 to 20 minutes to get to San José del Cabo’s historic center, which is well-known for its Art District, Thursday night Art Walk (during certain seasons), shops, pharmacies, and restaurants. Bigger supermarkets and regular services are grouped together in the same vicinity, making errands easy without interfering with your peaceful stay. Enclave West 17 is located in the Ritz-Carlton Reserve-branded enclave above the Sea of Cortez at 23.062° N, 109.635° W on a map. It is easily found using any navigation app.

Arriving is simple. The best airport is Los Cabos International (SJD), which is roughly a 25–30 minute drive in light traffic and closer to 30–40 minutes on holiday weekends or during peak arrival hours. Along the Transpeninsular Highway, through the Puerto Los Cabos entrance, and into the gated enclave, the entire route is paved. The last one to two kilometers are ideal for a regular sedan or SUV because they follow broad, beautifully landscaped resort roads with smooth surfaces and mild inclines. You don’t need a 4×4 unless you want to go on off-road adventures in Baja.

Enclave West 17 sets itself apart from other Los Cabos Villas with its elevated ocean views, outstanding privacy, spacious suite layout, and resort-quality outdoor living space that features a chef-ready kitchen, fire features, and a sun-shelf infinity pool—all within the safe luxury of Puerto Los Cabos.

Three activities go well with a stay here: a morning charter from Puerto Los Cabos Marina, which is about ten to fifteen minutes away, for deep-sea fishing or whale watching before returning to a late lunch on the terrace; an afternoon tour of San José del Cabo’s galleries and historic streets, which takes fifteen to twenty minutes by car, culminating in dinner at one of its courtyard restaurants; and a sunset beach walk at neighboring La Playita, which is typically ten minutes by car, followed by a peaceful evening back at the villa with the fire pit glowing and the ocean below.
