Villa Pacific West

Villa Pacific West occupies the ridgeline like a modern sculpture high above the granite shoulders of Pedregal, where the sun melts into the Pacific and the breeze has a subtle bougainvillea and salt scent.

When the house opens, the ocean takes over every window, every reflection, and every thought. The approach sets the mood, with palms swaying along a stone drive and crisp white façades softened by climbing vines. Cool, neutral floors, cream-plaster walls that absorb light, and carefully chosen artwork that spark against a serene, elegant color scheme are all examples of the interior’s modern, measured design language.

Large glass panes blur the line between a wraparound terrace and a light-filled, open-concept living/dining area, making the sky and sea appear to be part of the décor. Dinners for eight become a nightly show as even the glass-topped dining table lifts and reflects the blue outside.

The villa’s distinctive lines are visible from the main terrace. Along the edge of the cliff, a long, winding pool is fed by stone-faced waterfalls that sound like rain on warm stone. The pool is topped by a short infinity lip. Daybeds and low lounges are shaded by white umbrellas, the lower level is softened by a lush pocket lawn, and private bedroom patios are concealed behind bougainvillea.

The fire pit table gathers everyone for a final glass as dusk approaches, the outdoor kitchen and deluxe gas grill take over for star-bright suppers, and the trickle of water creates a calming, slow rhythm you’ll carry to bed.

Every area of Villa Pacific West was designed to foster a sense of community and leisure. A sleek TV den with an 80-inch screen for a late-night movie or game day; an indoor-outdoor stereo system and iPod dock seed music throughout the house without overpowering the sound of the waves; and a sleeping arrangement that respects privacy with terrace-linked suites and quiet reading nooks.

Reliable Wi-Fi, a proper office with a printer when a message won’t wait, satellite TVs and Blu-ray players when the evening demands a movie, and Teltex phone lines with free US/Canada calling are examples of civilized rather than invasive connectivity. Rooms are kept perfectly comfortable by ceiling fans and central air conditioning. The four-seat Jacuzzi raises steam into a clean sky that will make you start naming constellations again when it’s time for a nighttime soak.

Instead of swimming, this dramatic side of Cabo—Pedregal’s Pacific—offers long walks along the tide line and picturesque sunsets. Plan short beach runs to Áano, Chileno, or Santa María for glass-calm water dips; the infinity pool here makes staying at home seem like the best option. It usually takes five to eight minutes by car from the front door to Cabo San Lucas Marina and downtown dining; ten to fifteen minutes, depending on the hour; and twelve to eighteen minutes to provision at Costco or Fresko/La Comer.

For private aviation, Cabo San Lucas International (CSL) is approximately fifteen to twenty minutes away, while Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) is typically forty-five to fifty-five minutes away. Any car will do, though a mid-size SUV is ideal for evening excursions and beach hopping. The roads leading up to the gate are completely paved, and the final kilometer climbs Pedregal’s immaculate cobblestones. For bearings, place your pin at the top of the hillside, close to 22.883° N, 109.912° W.

The villa’s guest rules, which allow for a maximum of four singles or four couples and two children under twelve, preserve that uncommon high-perch tranquility. With two built-in gas BBQs, an indoor-outdoor stereo, a bar that makes alfresco service second nature, eight telephones with local and international calling, and those layered terraces that send everyone to the rail when the sky catches fire at sunset, the house plays larger than its already spacious footprint.

Villa Pacific West is unique among Los Cabos Villas because it boasts a true peak-Pedregal elevation, a resort-style pool, and a gallery-clean interior that lets the ocean write the script.

The rest will fall into place if you plan your days with straightforward, sincere distances in mind. For expansive views of the city and sea, begin with a sunrise ridge walk on Pedregal’s upper roads. Afterward, roll down to Áano for a protected swim and paddleboarding session. One afternoon should be set aside for a panga charter from the Marina that circles El Arco and lands on Lover’s Beach, followed by a ceviche tasting on the deck. Another evening should be set aside for the San José del Cabo Art Walk (during the season), which returns you to the hush of the Pacific and the glow of the fire pit.

Unique value proposition: Villa Pacific West offers the summit experience, an architectural statement pinned to Pedregal’s highest west-facing ridge that combines uninterrupted, panoramic views from Lands’ End to the open ocean with cliff-edge privacy, a Roman-style waterfall pool, and fully integrated tech/amenities.

Meta travel and access: 5–8 minutes by car for downtown/Marina; 10–15 minutes for Áano Beach; 12–18 minutes for Costco/Fresko; 45–55 minutes for SJD; 15–20 minutes for CSL private airport; last 1 km on well-maintained cobblestones; an SUV is advised for comfort.
