Villa Renata

Designer Adriana Hoyos drew Villa Renata as a modern hacienda in Santa Carmella, about two miles from downtown Cabo San Lucas, and wrapped the pool around the living and dining rooms like a moat. You cross part of it on a walkway set just under the surface.

Seven bedroom suites sleep 14 guests, with seven full bathrooms and three half baths. Of the Los Cabos villas we know on this stretch of the Corridor, it is the one we’d pick for a group that cares about design as much as about the view, and it is one of the few where the owner allows weddings and events.

THE HOUSE

White walls and cream floors leave the attention to the art, to a few animal prints and to the colour in the furniture. Pocket doors slide away in almost every room. Off the main living area sit a wet bar and a lounge; beyond them, a media room with a very large screen and a study with a desk and sofa for anyone who has to work. In the kitchen: Viking appliances, dark wood cabinets, white marble and an island with breakfast seating. Twelve can sit at the dining table, behind wood-panel screens, facing the Sea of Cortez.

THE SPA SUITE

Renata has its own spa room with salon chairs, a manicure and pedicure station and a massage bed, next to a sauna and a steam room. Therapists come to the house on request. For a bridal party the morning of a wedding, this room saves a trip into town.

THE SUITES

The master has a king bed, a private lounge and a bathroom with floating sinks and a freestanding tub beside a window on the sea. Two suites have a pair of queens and an ocean view, two have a single queen, one has a king with an ocean view and the seventh has two twins. Each with its own bathroom.

THE ROOFTOP AND THE POOL

Upstairs, the terrace has a fireside lounge, a dining area and a row of lounge beds around a fire pit, with clear Plexiglas panels instead of railings and a low hedge of blue agave. Downstairs the walkway through the pool leads to a covered lounge with a casual dining table, sofas and a large outdoor fireplace. At the far end of the pool is a Jacuzzi you don’t notice at first.

THE SERVICE

Housekeeping is daily and a concierge is included. Chefs, butlers, bartenders and event staff are arranged on request; for a wedding we would ask the owner for the event terms before anything else. The villa’s page (November 2026) also reports construction nearby from Monday to Saturday, with noise that varies, and we check its status for your week.

THE LOCATION

Santa Carmella is a private gated community with security, around a five-minute walk from the beach. Town is close enough for dinner without planning. If you’re weighing this side against San José, read which base works for a winter week.
