Villa Pacifica

Enter Pedregal through the gates and proceed down the cobblestone path until the Pacific opens up in front of you, complete with dark outcrops, golden sand, and a deep blue horizon where moonrises rise straight out of the water and sunsets linger. This is Villa Pacifica, a 9,000-square-foot study in contemporary Baja elegance, where every gathering area faces the sea and every suite can hear the tide’s breathing.

The rooms are kept cool and bright by white plaster walls and polished concrete floors; warm woods, lattice details, and sculptural archways add a touch of Colonial romance; big glass sliders blur the boundaries between inside and outside, allowing ocean air to flow through the house from dawn to starlight.

Families and friends who want space to spread out without losing the feeling of community are the target audience for the villa. Five tranquil suites are arranged to capture the sound of the surf, each with a king bed and large doors facing the ocean; three have private terraces and bathrooms, and the fourth and fifth share a spa-bright, generously sized bathroom. A media lounge and a guest suite on the beach level are right next to the sand, making it easy to stargaze after hours or take a stroll at sunrise.

A twelve-seat dining area with a fireplace that transforms dinners into events, a large living room anchored by a cinematic media system, and a wall of glass that slides to a wide terrace where the resort-style infinity pool, shaded bar, and outdoor dining face the arc of Palmilla Bay’s sister coast at Pedregal make up the main salon and chef’s kitchen, which span the upper floor in a single, open sweep. Every finish—soft neutrals against darker furniture, modern art to contrast with the light, and top-notch appliances to make cooking (or catering) effortless—has been selected for comfort and contrast.

The ocean serves as the inspiration for the days here. Afternoons unfold between the pool, the Jacuzzi, and the cushioned loungers as the Pacific wind rises; evenings drift into the kind of conversation that only occurs when the sun slides into the water and the sky turns copper. Mornings start with coffee on a private terrace while pelicans skim the shorebreak.

The stunning and dramatic beach at Pedregal is ideal for long walks, tide watching, and winter whale spotting. Swimming is not recommended due to strong Pacific currents and surf, so save your ocean swims for the serene waters of Áano, Chileno, or Palmilla, which are only a short drive away. When the stars are out, the media room, which has plenty of comfortable seating and the sound of the ocean just beyond the glass, takes over.

You are only a short distance from everything that makes Cabo San Lucas thrive from this prestigious address. The downtown shops and cafés, as well as the marina and its eateries, are usually 5 to 10 minutes away by car; Šano Beach takes 10 to 15 minutes, depending on traffic; Costco, La Comer, and Walmart are about 12 to 18 minutes away. Private flights at Cabo San Lucas International (CSL) typically take 15 to 20 minutes, whereas Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) typically takes 40 to 50 minutes.

A standard SUV is perfect for beach hopping and nights out; all approaches are paved and clearly marked; and the last ascent over Pedregal’s cobblestones is safe and easy. For reference, the villa is located at roughly 22.873° N, 109.912° W on the Pacific slope of Pedregal, with the sand literally at your feet.

The combination of true, toes-in-the-sand frontage on Pedregal’s famous beach and a glass-forward, 9,000-square-foot floor plan where each king-suite pivots to the surf—delivering the drama of the open Pacific alongside the effortless flow of a resort-style pool terrace made for entertaining—is what sets Villa Pacifica apart from other Los Cabos Villas.

When you’re ready to explore, take a panga from the Cabo San Lucas Marina to circle El Arco and land on Lover’s Beach for sunset pictures and a toes-in-the-sand toast. In the late afternoon, explore the cobblestone galleries and mission-era plaza of San José del Cabo for coffee and craft shopping.
