Villa 471

Stretch out and stay awhile in this beachfront villa in Los Cabos, Mexico. The ambiance at this two-story villa along the Sea of Cortez is just right for friends, families, and even couples traveling with assistants. Padded with more than 5,000 square feet of space, there is a spot for anyone and everyone – and then there’s the beach.

Nabbing a beachfront villa in Los Cabos is not easy and Villa 471 is steps away from the sand, just a few paces beyond the infinity pool. Go for a swim – you might find a friendly dolphin for company – and then take a quick dip in the pool or relax in the hot tub. The lounge chairs – and grand umbrella-shaded opium beds by all the waters — invite dreamy days where all is right with the world. All is possible at this beachfront villa in Los Cabos, Mexico.

Three large master bedrooms at Villa 471 all open to hypnotic views of the sea, close enough to enjoy the sea breezes and zen-ful sounds of breaking waves. Master bedrooms are studies in terracotta tile floors, heavy wood furnishings and plush textiles. Color schemes run in desert tones with bright bursts of color as bedrooms yield to spacious travertine-tiled bathrooms that make statements in classic and pre-Colombian design details. Immerse in the rich surroundings for deep soaks in candlelight.

The two-story manse that is Villa 471 offers a king bed, a queen bed and two queen beds for bedroom accommodations. The smaller queen bedroom, however, comes with an alluring anteroom with a corner sectional couch and cushy leather ottoman coffee table. Bedrooms flow into the second-story wrap-around verandah with relaxation furnishings that promote time spent watching the sea-filled horizons. Other “plus” spaces include a dedicated movie and entertainment room with comfortable couch appointments and an indoor/outdoor writing room overlooking the ocean with an antique wooden desk and cushiony “thinking” areas.

Head to the villa’s sprawling modern kitchen and saddle up to the L-shaped granite island flanked by five chairs for easy-in, easy-out meals. Just beyond is a formal dining table for eight and a family room with two deep loveseats and comfortable chairs around a flatscreen television on the wall. But the flow to the outdoors is all the focus at Villa 471. A second living room outdoors welcomes guests for long, lingering conversations in the shade while gazing at the waters. A second dining area outside keeps the party going with meals and cocktails served by the villa butler. A dedicated chef at Villa 471 is on hand for morning and afternoon repasts with options to stay on for evening affairs at a nominal charge.
