Villa Las Arenas 104

Villa Las Arenas 104 seems to have been drawn exactly where the Sea of Cortez meets desert rock.

The Auberge Esperanza Resort & Spa is a discreet next-door neighbor of this four-bedroom villa, which is situated in the private, oceanfront community of Punta Ballena and offers unobstructed views of the water and the far-off Arch of Cabo San Lucas. You can see why this area of the Corridor is regarded as one of the most sought-after addresses among Los Cabos Villas as soon as you walk through the door and see the sea framed by glass.

Inside, luxurious comfort is the main focus of Villa Las Arenas 104. Three of the four bedrooms are located in the main house, two of which are master suites with king beds and complete bathrooms, and a third bedroom with two queen beds—perfect for older kids or friends who want their own spacious room.

With fine linens, marble floors, and delicate, coastal hues that maintain a sophisticated yet serene atmosphere, each suite feels like a personal haven. Tucked away in a separate guest casita with a king bed and bathroom, the fourth bedroom is ideal for staff traveling with the group, grandparents, or a couple seeking greater independence. The 3,330 square feet of living space can accommodate up to eight guests without ever feeling crowded.

The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area, all facing the sea, is the focal point of the villa. With a Sub-Zero refrigerator-freezer, a six-burner Viking gas range, and a U-Line wine cooler ready for sunset bottles and chilled whites, the kitchen is well-equipped for both actual cooking and private chef service.

You only notice the tactile level of detail added by custom Rocky Mountain Hardware faucets and fixtures once you’re here, but it subtly conveys the quality of the house. Beyond the kitchen is a formal dining area with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the Sea of Cortez like a painting. Because it’s impossible to look away from the water, long dinners here inevitably turn into late-night conversations.

Villa Las Arenas 104 becomes a private beach club when the glass is slid open. An enormous oceanfront Jacuzzi provides front-row seats to sunrise light or moonlit waves, and the infinity-edge pool runs along the front of the terrace, its water appearing to spill into the sea beyond. The deck is lined with cozy loungers that are ideally positioned to enjoy the view and the breeze.

The Viking professional barbecue and wet bar make outdoor meals simple—fresh fish on the grill, drinks at the bar, and the sound of the waves in the background. An integrated fire pit provides a cozy focal point after dark. Another option for al fresco dining is a separate dining area beneath a thatched palapa. This area is shaded during the day and softly lit at night, making it perfect for long lunches or family dinners that last until everyone drifts back to the pool.

The Venetian plaster walls and marble floors give the interiors a unified sense of elegance, but the setting is what really makes this place unique. Villa Las Arenas 104 is located in Punta Ballena on the Cabo Corridor, a short drive from San José del Cabo and just outside Cabo San Lucas. Being close to Esperanza allows you to take advantage of top-notch dining options, spa services, and certain resort amenities with advance reservations, all while retreating to the seclusion of your own villa at the end of the day.

It’s a unique position where you can be completely in your own world while still being close to some of the greatest eateries and services in the area.

The logistics of arrival are simple. The main gateway is Los Cabos International Airport (SJD), which is located close to San José del Cabo. In light to moderate traffic, it usually takes 35 to 40 minutes to get there; during peak hours and on holidays, it takes a little longer.

You take the main Transpeninsular Highway from the airport in the direction of Cabo San Lucas, veering off along the Corridor at the Punta Ballena/Esperanza entrance. A comfortable sedan or SUV is ideal for the last one to two kilometers, which are on fully paved, landscaped residential roads with gentle hills and speed bumps rather than rough surfaces. Unless you intend to go off-road during your stay, a 4×4 is not necessary. Drivers can easily find Punta Ballena and the Esperanza Resort along the coast between Cabo San Lucas and Santa Maria Bay using any navigation app.

The villa’s daily convenience contributes to its allure. Depending on traffic, the restaurants, shops, nightlife, and other services of Cabo San Lucas Marina and downtown are typically ten to fifteen minutes away by car to the west. In general, it takes about the same amount of time to get to the restaurants and beaches of Santa Maria Bay and Chileno Bay, which are popular places to swim and snorkel. Grocery runs and pharmacy stops rarely take more than 20 to 30 minutes from door to door because larger supermarkets, pharmacies, and everyday stores are grouped around the Cabo San Lucas entrance and along the Corridor.

Villa Las Arenas 104 is unique among Los Cabos Villas because of its combination of intimate scale, designer-level finishes, and a front-row Punta Ballena location that shares a coastline with Esperanza. It offers resort-level proximity and cinematic Arch views while maintaining the privacy of a fully independent home with its own pool, spa, and palapa.

A trip to Cabo San Lucas Marina, which is only ten to fifteen minutes away, for a deep-sea fishing charter or sunset cruise around Land’s End before returning for dinner under the palapa, or a beach day that alternates between snorkeling at neighboring Chileno Bay or Santa Maria Bay and a leisurely lunch at one of the Corridor’s coastal restaurants, are three activities that go well with a stay here.
