La Casa de Villa

Between the sea and the desert, La Casa de Villa has the feel of a hidden haven.

Located in the upscale El Altillo neighborhood of Puerto Los Cabos, this five-bedroom retreat is tucked away in the foothills of the Sierra de la Laguna and offers views of the shimmering Sea of Cortez, far-off mountains, and rolling fairways. It’s tucked back just far enough to feel wonderfully private, but it’s close enough to the coast that you can reach the beach club in a matter of minutes. It’s one of the most appealing Los Cabos Villas on the East Cape side of San José del Cabo for visitors who enjoy the concept of a peaceful, modern base with quick access to golf, marina life, and sandy shores.

La Casa de Villa’s interior is lively and vibrant. Large windows and glass doors let in an abundance of sunlight, which reflects off polished floors and brightly painted walls. The interiors are more colorful than minimalist, with imported French and Italian furniture that is both sophisticated and welcoming.

Everyone feels included during meal preparation thanks to the open floor plan, which includes a gourmet kitchen with a wine fridge, ample prep space, and bar seating that flows directly into the dining area and living room. With five bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms, the house can accommodate up to sixteen guests. Each room has an ensuite bathroom, luxurious linens, and soft cushions. Everyone can easily unpack and take possession of a corner.

Here, entertainment has its own special area. A 100-inch cinema screen in a true home theater transforms movie nights into an occasion, making it ideal for multi-generational get-togethers, families with children, or groups of friends who value a good movie setup. It feels like a private movie theater for your group when the doors slide shut and the lights go down, and you can easily return to the pool afterward.

The house opens into an outdoor living area that feels like an extension of the interior when you walk through the large glass doors. The terrace is designed for long, leisurely days and leisurely evenings. Al fresco cooking becomes enjoyable rather than a chore when you have an outdoor kitchen with a gas BBQ grill, pizza oven, and lots of counter space.

Everyone has space to spread out thanks to the spacious dining table and cozy lounge areas; some can congregate around the chef, while others can stay with a drink and observe the changing sky. The Baja countryside is arranged like a painting, and the swimming pool and Jacuzzi are situated at the property’s edge with views of the golf course and undulating hills. It’s the kind of view that’s perfect for both an evening soak under the stars and coffee at sunrise.

The Puerto Los Cabos Beach Club is only a five-minute drive away, and guests of La Casa de Villa have membership-style access to it. Without compromising the laid-back vibe of a private villa stay, you can order lunch from the restaurant, watch a game at the sports bar, swim laps or float in the infinity-edge pool above the sand, or participate in low-key activities. The Puerto Los Cabos Marina is just a short drive away from the gated El Altillo community, making it simple to plan fishing charters, sailing excursions, and coastal excursions—all of which seem closer when you’re back on your tranquil terrace.

Arriving is simple. The drive to Los Cabos International Airport, which is located just outside of San José del Cabo, typically takes 35 to 40 minutes during regular traffic, and a little longer during busy holiday times. The entire route is paved: you take the main highway toward San José, turn toward Puerto Los Cabos, and then gently wind your way into El Altillo via well-kept, beautifully landscaped roads.

You don’t need a 4×4 unless you intend to travel farther out along the rougher East Cape tracks; a regular sedan or SUV will do just fine. After arriving at La Casa de Villa, you can drive to downtown San José del Cabo and its Art District in fifteen to twenty minutes. Depending on where you decide to shop, groceries, pharmacies, and larger supermarkets are usually ten to fifteen minutes away.

Offering a unique blend of privacy, character, and resort-level amenities in one residence, La Casa de Villa stands out among Los Cabos Villas thanks to its combination of vibrant European-inspired interiors, serious entertainment amenities, and a hillside El Altillo setting that offers golf-course and mountain views along with exclusive access to the Puerto Los Cabos Beach Club and marina.

This villa is especially well suited to three experiences. A leisurely breakfast on the terrace could begin one day, followed by a trip to the Puerto Los Cabos Beach Club for a swim in the infinity pool, lunch at the restaurant, and a leisurely afternoon spent between the bar and the sand.

Another might center on the water: a quick drive to the marina for a snorkeling or fishing excursion, followed by sunset drinks in your Jacuzzi with a view of the hills. A third could be your “town day,” which involves driving fifteen to twenty minutes into the historic center of San José del Cabo to explore the galleries, spend time in the Art District, and end with dinner at a courtyard restaurant before heading back to your home theater for a late-night movie.
