Forget the White Lotus! Las Ventanas al ParaĆso Takes Five-Star Luxury to the Next Level
Looking for a luxurious escape from SoCal? It doesnāt get better than Cabo San Lucas. The 2.5-hour flight couldnāt be easier, and upon landing, endless margaritas and cervezas await. While some travel to Cabo to let loose and explore the vibrant nightlife, the Las Ventanas al ParaĆso, A Rosewood Resort offers a lavish and secluded getaway for couples. The attentive staff waits on you hand and foot, the food doesnāt miss a beat and the attention to detailāranging from monogrammed room key cases to engraved coconutsāis beyond extraordinary. That said, hereās our full rundown on why Las Ventanas al ParaĆso should be at the top of your Cabo bucket list!
Viva La Mexico
The first thing to greet you when you step on the property at the Las Ventanas al ParaĆso is a freshly-poured mini margarita and a traditional mariachi band. The open-air lobby boasts incredible views of the Sea of Cortez along with pools of water in every direction. The property is massive, and all of the suites and villas are spread out across white, Hacienda-style buildings draped in hot pink bougainvillea. The hotel sits right on the sand, and though the ocean is not swimmable, there are several swimming poolsāalmost all of which are heated for year-round enjoyment.
Rooms Made for RoyaltyĀ
No matter which of the 84 suites and villas you stay in, youāre sure to feel right at home. The oceanfront junior suites with a rooftop terrace are ideal for two travelers seeking an ample amount of space and style in every corner. In addition to having your own private hot tub on the huge oceanfront balcony, there is also a spiral staircase that leads to a private rooftop with plush lounge chairs, a day bed and, of course, sweeping views. Start each morning with a cappuccino in hand as you watch for whales (which youāll see almost every day during a winter visit).
The Culinary Side of CaboĀ
Las Ventanas al ParaĆso has a handful of dining options on-site with three main restaurants, a tequila and ceviche bar, a taco bar and plenty of poolside dining options. Sea Grill is ideal for dipping your toes in the sand as you enjoy everything from shrimp tacos to tuna tartare taquitos. Next door to Sea Grill is Alebrije, an Oaxacan restaurant with the biggest collection of mezcal in Cabo. Last but certainly not least, Arbol is the hotel’s signature restaurant that serves Indian-fusion fare among twinkling trees and romantic booths surrounded by water. Be sure to enjoy at least one nightcap at La Botica, the on-site speakeasy that serves innovative cocktails and hosts live music every single night.Ā
Magical Experiences in MexicoĀ
During downtime, Las Ventanas al ParaĆso offers plenty of culturally rich and exciting activities to partake in without leaving the property. Foodies will love the Tequila Sign Class, which takes you through the history of tequila as you embark on a blind tasting paired with fresh bites like sushi and guac. When it comes to beaching it, thereās no better setup than the private beach cabanas. Enjoy everything from a private plunge pool to personalized sand art as you indulge in octopus tacos and a margarita to pair it with. For the perfect ending to the evening, embark on a horseback-riding adventure at sunset and snap some Instagram-worthy photos.
Embark on an Elemental Journey at The SpaĀ
The Spa at Las Ventanas immerses guests in a jungle-inspired oasis that is complete with two saunas, a cold plunge pool, a hot tub and more. Best of all, guests of the hotel can use all of the spa facilities and amenities at any timeāeven if they havenāt booked a session. Each 90-minute treatment includes the option to start with a complimentary Holistic Twilight Ceremony, which includes a cleansing Mayan ritual and sound bath. The Signature Sense Massage takes place in a private room and incorporates aromatic oils and a gentle pressure to relax your mind and body from head to toe.
