Casa Panga

A place where sparkling azure waves wash over miles of pristine golden sand and fresh ocean breezes flow all around. Casa Panga is a stunning 8,000 square foot estate located right on the shores of famous Shipwrecks beach. With one of Los Cabos best breaks, this quiet, un-crowded surfer's paradise has strong southerly swells that create big waves off some of the most gorgeous beachfront in Baja Sur.

The home itself is designed to connect with the beauty of its natural surroundings. There is an open air central courtyard that reveals cloudless skies in the day and a sea of stars at night. Rooms fan off the courtyard and large glass doors throughout the home disappear into the walls to make indoor/outdoor living seamless. Panga's great room opens on one side to the lovely inner courtyard and on the other to the pool terrace and ocean views beyond. This open-concept living and dining space includes a cozy fireplace with wraparound sofa seating and a small games table, as well as a long, rustic wood dining table with an eclectic punched-metal starburst chandelier overhead. Local art pieces - from vibrant paintings to artisanal pottery - decorate the walls and tabletops throughout the home, and the quintessentially Baja-inspired decor enlivens every room. Patterned rugs accent the creamy floors and exquisite mosaic tiles line the stairways to add charm and elegance to the villa's Mexican style.

Grand, spacious and designed to impress, outdoor living at Casa Panga radiates a cool resort vibe. At its center, a spectacular infinity pool with a hidden Jacuzzi seems to flow into the nearby Sea of Cortez. Swim up to the palapa-shaded bar to sip a refreshing margarita under the midday sun, or relax on one of the many chairs and reclining loungers that dot the terrace. Rinse off in the indulgent outdoor rain shower surrounded by lush greenery and a thatched roof that lets warm rays shine through. A nearby veranda shelters a sofa lounge and grilling area that has a deluxe stainless steel barbecue and marble-topped bar with open air seating for six. Tropical palms sway in the ocean breeze, and as the sun sets, stars begin to glimmer in the night sky and the warmth of the fire pit envelops the seaside terrace. As dawn arrives, guests can witness an unforgettable Baja sunrise and then take the stairway down to the sands of Shipwrecks where miles of secluded beachfront are waiting to be explored.
