Villa 462: Calming Beachfront Comforts in a Magnificent Estate Setting

This five-bedroom villa on the beach in Los Cabos contains plenty of creature comforts in a modern palatial spread full of grand flourishes.

THE EXPERIENCE

If you are going to live in a mansion on the beach, that splendid abode should come with some stunning statements. Find them in the Greco- Roman column motifs lining the living areas and primary portals, or in the grand travertine stone staircase leading to the upper sleeping rooms of Villa 462. All vintages lead to a dramatic infinity pool where the waters seem to meet the sea. This villa in Mexico is very much an indoor/outdoor lifestyle where plush lounge chairs around the pool await fresh rolled towels and all under a sky that has no bounds. The living spaces and bedrooms blend Old World Mexico charm with the contemporary clean sheen in the décor and appointments. Two master bedrooms open up to lavish patios overlooking the Sea of Cortez, and bathrooms that wind into dressing areas, while another bedroom downstairs adjoins the veranda and nearby spa. Other bedrooms offer ocean views and plenty of calming, cushy comforts. The villa sleeps eight people easily within a five-bedroom configuration.

A gourmet Cucina setting is the backdrop for the villa’s dedicated chef to create fanciful dishes from Viking and Sub Zero appliances. Two kitchen islands are available for setting out the dishes for a grand feast – all complemented by personal favorites in wine kept at the optimum temperatures in the kitchen’s wine fridge. Meals, formal and casual, are served at the stately table for eight or on-demand amid comfortable outdoor seating.

A convenient kitchen island offers another place to sip and talk. You can even order up cocktails from the beach, just steps away. A personal butler will take care of the service. A wall of windows facing the sea ensures a continued on-the-beach experience, whether relaxing indoors or out. Sea breezes and high ceilings keep the air fresh, although air-conditioning is always available throughout for hot days. Should the day call for a golf game at the nearby Jack Nicklaus-designed course, the butler or concierge will arrange it and you can pop into the villa golf cart for some sensational game backdrops. Should you want to head out to Cabos San Lucas, a 20-minute drive down the road, the concierge can arrange tours, private snorkeling or sailing trips, or a day of shopping. Or take a private car ride over to San Jose del Cabos, a 10-minute ride away, or to other precious colonial art towns that lay beyond.

Have a massage in the villa or enjoy the spa amenities at One&Only Palmilla, where Villa del Mar guests have full privileges for pampering, dining, fitness, and recreational activities. A vacation stay at Villa 462 is limitless in possibilities.

What’s to Love?

The stone tiled floors keep the villa cool and light and we love the touches in Mexican decor that bring a special sense of place in this villa. We love how the infinity pool seems to extend to the sea and is large enough for exercise and swimming. Bedrooms are light and airy. The living room area brings a prodigious sectional sofa and chairs, all perfect for containing the whole family. And we love the stately Doric columns that line the foyer and patio areas for an extra sense of grandeur.
