Villa Las Salinas

Prior to anything else, it’s crucial to be aware that construction is underway next to Villa Las Salinas from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. On Saturdays, there is less work until noon, and on Sundays, there is no activity.

The distinction between home and horizon virtually vanishes in Villa Las Salinas. This beachfront villa, which is situated right on El Encanto’s golden sands, opens onto a long, swimmable section of the Sea of Cortez. The water is close enough that you can walk from the pool to the sand to the sea in a matter of steps. When the bay is still quiet in the morning, you can enjoy coffee on the terrace. By midday, you might be floating in the pool, strolling along the shore, or relaxing beneath the palapa while you watch the waves come in.

Villa Las Salinas feels airy, serene, and effortlessly coastal inside. Ocean-inspired blue accents run through cushions, throws, and artwork, connecting the interiors to the water just beyond the glass, while crisp white walls capture the shifting light throughout the day. The outdoors is always just a glance away thanks to the abundance of large windows and sliding doors.

The kitchen, dining, and lounge areas all naturally flow into one another thanks to a large open-plan layout and high ceilings that keep the main living areas cool and airy. It is simple to hire a private chef or prepare family-style meals in a proper gourmet kitchen with high-quality appliances and plenty of counter space. For easy afternoon margaritas by the pool or pre-dinner cocktails, a wet bar adds a more whimsical touch.

Villa Las Salinas is designed for actual gatherings, whether they are multigenerational families, groups of friends, or a combination of the two. It can accommodate up to 17 guests. Each private bedroom feels like a hidden haven rather than an afterthought, and they all have the same calming color scheme as the common areas.

It’s simple to slip outside for a peaceful moment with the sea as your backdrop before reuniting with the group because many open directly onto terraces or balconies. The El Encanto gym and beach club, which has a large oceanfront pool, loungers, and extra dining areas that extend your living space beyond the villa itself, is also free for visitors as part of a gated community.

The water is the center of life outside. Perfect for cooling off in between strolls along the beach or leisurely afternoons in the sun, the private pool is situated just above the sand. As the light fades and the sky shifts through deep oranges, pinks, and purples, a fire feature and hot tub transform the terrace into a natural meeting place. With the ocean in full view and the sound of the surf rising and falling just beyond the property’s edge, you can spend extended outdoor lunches or dinners beneath the palapa. There are no long paths to follow, no roads to cross, and the beach is right there when you want to dig your toes into the sand.

Behind the scenes, daily life is quietly supported. A property caretaker resides in separate quarters on the premises, always close enough to assist but far enough to allow visitors complete privacy. For extra entertainment, the villa has a pool table and shuffleboard, which can only be used with a refundable security deposit. These specific features are only available to all-adult groups and are not accessible to visitors under the age of 18 in order to maintain them in excellent condition.

It’s easy to combine adventure and leisure in this setting. El Encanto is located close to Puerto Los Cabos, just east of San José del Cabo. Puerto Los Cabos Marina, where fishing charters, snorkel tours, and seasonal whale-watching excursions depart, is usually 10 to 15 minutes away by car from Villa Las Salinas. The historic center of San José del Cabo, with its Art District, restaurants, pharmacies, and supermarkets, is about 15 to 20 minutes away.

Depending on tee times and traffic, the popular Puerto Los Cabos golf courses and other options along the Corridor are typically 15 to 25 minutes away by car. Under normal circumstances, it takes 30 to 35 minutes to get to Los Cabos International Airport (SJD), but it takes a little longer during periods of high arrivals. The entire route is paved: a highway leads to the Puerto Los Cabos/La Laguna turnoff, after which the last one to two kilometers are quiet, beautifully landscaped residential roads. A 4×4 is not necessary; a comfortable sedan or SUV is ideal.

Villa Las Salinas is unique among oceanfront Los Cabos Villas in that it offers genuine walk-out access to a swimmable beach in a low-density residential community, along with beach club and gym privileges, ample space for up to 17 guests, and excellent value because of a construction-period discount for stays through November 2025.

A stay at Villa Las Salinas is a perfect fit for three experiences. An early swim in front of the villa could start one day, followed by a quick 10- to 15-minute drive to Puerto Los Cabos Marina for a half-day fishing or snorkeling excursion, and a leisurely afternoon at your beach club pool.

Another might focus on San José del Cabo; a 15- to 20-minute drive gets you to the historic center, where you can explore galleries, buy necessities at local supermarkets, and spend an evening in the Art District before heading back to El Encanto’s peace and quiet. Golf and the beach could be the focus of a third day; start at Puerto Los Cabos or another local course, take a stroll along the sand in front of Villa Las Salinas at sunset, and end with cocktails by the fire as the stars come out.
