Enclave West Villa #12

Enclave West Villa 12 is a modern coastal pavilion that is subtly tucked away in the desert above the Sea of Cortez.

Your gaze is constantly drawn outward, where the gardens breathe in the breeze and the light moves across the water, thanks to the floor-to-ceiling glass, pale stone, and warm woods. Situated in Puerto Los Cabos’ Ritz-Carlton Reserve-branded enclave, this is one of the few Los Cabos Villas where staffing, architecture, and setting all work together to make the house feel more like a private wing of a top-tier resort than a stand-alone villa.

The transition from travel to ease is swift as soon as you get to Enclave West Villa 12. The living area, dining room, and gourmet kitchen all share a long line of glass that faces the pool and the sea as the front door opens into a serene, well-lit great room. The arrangement of the sofas allows you to read, watch a movie, or converse without losing sight of the horizon.

The kitchen behind the dining table is fully furnished with professional-grade appliances, a wine refrigerator, and ample prep space, making it suitable for both casual snacks and late-night grazing as well as chef-prepared breakfasts and lunches. The dining table is large enough for extended, lingering meals. You’ll naturally pause with a cup of coffee and let the day unfold in the tranquil interior courtyard that gives the entire house a heartbeat of stillness.

Enclave West Villa 12 can accommodate up to fourteen guests in true comfort thanks to its five bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms. No one has to sacrifice privacy because suites are arranged so that nearly every room has a view of the pool, the ocean, or lush gardens, and each has a private bathroom. Sliding doors allow you to go straight from bed to terrace in the morning and fall asleep at night with the sound of the sea drifting up from below, while neutral color schemes, plush linens, and thoughtfully selected textures keep the interiors serene and uncluttered.

The villa looks like a private beach club from the outside. An attached Jacuzzi is ideally situated for sunset soaks, and a heated swimming pool runs along the main terrace with the Sea of Cortez as a constant backdrop.

The pool deck is lined with deep loungers and daybeds that provide enough sun and shade for everyone to find a favorite spot. Al fresco meals become the norm rather than the exception in a covered outdoor dining area with a barbecue, and once the stars come out and the temperature drops, a separate outdoor living room with a fireplace becomes the ideal gathering spot. At the end of the day, a fire pit brings people together and transforms the terrace into an outdoor living room where plans for tomorrow’s adventures are made and stories are told.

Enclave West Villa 12’s built-in level of service contributes to its ease of use. With two dedicated butlers, a cook, and a daily maid service, the villa is fully staffed, so breakfast and lunch arrive on time, drinks are refreshed without any hassle, and spaces are discreetly reset while you’re at the beach or by the pool. To make traveling between the house, the resort’s amenities, and the beach simple, a four-seater golf cart is included.

Being a part of the larger resort complex allows you to enjoy dining options, bars, and a full-service spa whenever you’d like. Once you’ve had enough company, you can retreat to the seclusion of your own villa. Access to the Puerto Los Cabos golf course, tennis and pickleball courts on-site, and the white sand and blue water directly below the enclave complete the impression that everything you came to Baja for is either right outside your door or a short drive away.

Arriving is simple. Los Cabos International Airport (SJD), located just outside of San José del Cabo, is the ideal entry point. The trip from the terminal to Puerto Los Cabos should take 25 to 30 minutes in normal traffic; during peak arrival times and on holidays, it may take a little longer. The entire route is paved, with a highway leading into town, a designated turn toward Puerto Los Cabos, and a final one to two kilometers of smooth, beautifully landscaped resort roads that gently descend toward the sea.

You only need a comfortable sedan or SUV; unless you intend to go on independent off-road excursions somewhere else, a 4×4 is not necessary. Enclave West Villa 12 is located in the Ritz-Carlton Reserve enclave of Puerto Los Cabos on the Sea of Cortez side, directly east of San José del Cabo. It is a convenient location for any driver or navigation app.

For such a remote location, day-to-day operations are pleasantly straightforward. Depending on your precise route, the marina at Puerto Los Cabos, where fishing charters, sailing excursions, snorkeling, and whale-watching excursions depart, is usually ten to fifteen minutes away by car or a short golf cart and vehicle combination.

It is simple to combine errands with a leisurely afternoon or dinner in town because the villa is only fifteen to twenty minutes’ drive from the historic center of San José del Cabo, which is home to the Art District, restaurants, cafés, pharmacies, and boutiques. You can stock the kitchen and return to your terrace in less than an hour because larger supermarkets and other services are concentrated in the same area.

While maintaining the seclusion and tranquility of a low-density oceanfront enclave just steps from the Sea of Cortez and the fairways of Puerto Los Cabos, Enclave West Villa 12 stands out among modern Los Cabos Villas for its combination of clean, modern design, fully staffed service, and direct integration into a Ritz-Carlton Reserve resort environment.

A late afternoon exploration of the galleries and cobblestone streets of San José del Cabo’s historic center, followed by dinner in one of its courtyard restaurants and a short drive back to your firelit terrace, or a golf or beach-focused day divided between teeing off at Puerto Los Cabos, walking the shoreline below the enclave, and finishing with sunset cocktails around the villa’s fire pit while the sky fades over the Sea of Cortez are three activities that go well with a stay at Enclave West Villa 12.
