At Villa 703 in Los Cabos, cross the entry bridge into the elegant foyer and find yourself in the Great Room under a cathedral of distressed wood beams and a theme that is alternately desert stones and marbles against a dazzling wash of blue. The ocean is everywhere in this majestic Los Cabos villa – a wide and imposing infinity across the dimensions accented by all manner of aqua-hued interior design details.
Lines swirl around the comfortable furnishings of pillowy textiles and patterned rattan and flow in and out of the living spaces, bringing the outside in and the inside out. But what the wanderer will discover amid this Mexican villa’s two-story, 6,000-square-foot expanse is the plethora of pod spaces where one can enjoy casual engagements with friends and family. Wander into a campanile atrium here, an entertainment kitchen and bar area there, and beyond, a fire pit surrounded by tufted chairs, a rounded sofa facing a large screen television and fireplace, even a separate casita bedroom for added privacy or playful kids.
There are five bedrooms in this Los Cabos villa – two master bedrooms on both floors, each with a private terrace, spa and walk-in closet. And there are seven bathrooms. The separate casita offers twin beds, otherwise it’s kings and queens with ocean, garden or terrarium views and an easy way to get around: Villa 703 comes with an elevator for those who chose not or cannot take the interior and exterior grand staircases between tiers.
When it comes to dining, a country-style Mexican cucina offers the gourmet-level appliances, a granite counter bar as a dining island and a glass dining table seating six for more formal meals. The kitchen, dining area and living room stream seamlessly into the outdoor terrace and patio where several other engagement pods await – whether for a barbeque by the sea, a heady game of chess or dreamy conversations that seem to dangle in the air over unobstructed sea views.
Take the elevator down to the terrace level of this Los Cabos villa and find a mini-kitchen and bar cooled by the open ocean air and abutting a lounging area where friends and family can sprawl and watch their choice in films and television.
For more formal gatherings, the kitchen and dining area open onto the living room and fireplace. For after dinner gatherings, a fire pit by the infinity pool is perfect for finishing off that bottle of wine and watching the stars above the warmth and fire light.
