Villa Encanto

Overview

This six-bedroom, 6.5-bath symphony of stunning spaces welcomes up to 18 guests with every comfort they could want in a villa vacation in Los Cabos. The layout meanders lengthwise against a wide horizon, assuring that every room has a view to the Sea of Cortez. The privacy offered in the interior and exterior footprint, as well the arrangements of each bedroom, makes Villa Encanto perfect not only for large family get-togethers, but also for savvy celebrations with friends.

And while guests are finding their enjoyment amid a stream of alcoves, living rooms, family rooms, cocktail bars and outdoor pavilions, a river, almost literally, runs through it all. Framing the property against its winding layout is an infinity pool measuring more than 100 feet with waterfalls that pour into it and leading to a sunken spa in the middle. Beyond these waters are the calm currents of the Sea of Cortez where clear skies always seem to meet the sea in dazzling hues of blue. From here, it is just a moment’s tootle down to a private gate and the white sand beach – one of the few very swimmable beaches in Los Cabos and one of the few without the crowds.

Life at Villa Encanto is one of living large. There are multiple kitchens, multiple bars, a cacophony of gathering spots by the pool – from fire pits, to backyard putting greens, to opium beds, to classic loungers, to grand living rooms and dining spots with outdoor shading. Walls disappear into a spill of indoor/outdoor sensibilities. There is always a breeze and a freshness, and always space for whatever the mood requires.

Bedrooms come in a variety of shapes and sizes with at least two master bedrooms that will create some awe. Each bedroom is its own world and meant to stand apart. Terraces off the bedrooms provide enough awe in their own right with wall to wall open windows that bring in the panorama and offer comely sitting, lounging and reading spaces. King beds face these vistas for some assured rest and mesmerizing views.

Among the choices in sleeping accommodations is what might be considered a children’s room, perfect for family reunions. The room offers two sets of queen and double bunkbeds that can certainly sleep eight small ones for a night of mischief and fun.

For the adults, time will be spent on the downstairs patio by the pool where a combination of social alcoves and al fresco dining spaces will keep the party going. Off the patio find a gourmet cave containing a snack refrigerator as well as a large grill and pizza oven. The open plan leads to an informal bar where guests can come in from the pool to enjoy a cocktail and watch a game. The primary kitchen, done in travertine and oak, is a formal chef’s kitchen with double ranges and ovens, a wine cooler, designer appliances and a handsome marble island in the middle for added surface area.

Outside the kitchen is a formal dining area with a table that sits ten leading to a classic living room where large, sink-into seating assembles around a family-sized fireplace and adjacent wide television screen.

Hair comes down, families and friends relax as the villa’s dedicated chef whips up cultural specialties in that massive kitchen and the villa’s dedicated butler serves them just at the right moment, anticipating every guest’s need. 

Slip away to a dreamy oblivion, to the warm comfort of loved ones, or to a beckoning beach with warm, quiet waters. It’s a beautiful world at the bottom of the Baja and Villa Encanto is your oyster.
