A timeless icon of luxury on Cabo’s Golden Corridor
Few hotels manage to live up to decades of hype, but Las Ventanas al Paraíso continues to prove why it’s considered one of Mexico’s most legendary luxury resorts. Blending flawless service with deep-rooted Mexican charm, this Rosewood property offers a serene, deeply indulgent escape on the Baja Peninsula.
Location
Set along San José del Cabo’s prestigious Golden Corridor, the resort strikes a perfect balance between seclusion and convenience. It’s just 25 minutes from Los Cabos International Airport and within easy reach of downtown San José, yet feels worlds away from the crowds.
The Vibe
Calm, refined, and quietly opulent. Whitewashed buildings, desert gardens filled with cacti and succulents, and signature blown-glass hearts hanging from bare trees create a distinctly Baja atmosphere. Despite often being fully booked, the thoughtful layout ensures privacy and a never-crowded feel.
Service
This is where Las Ventanas truly shines. From a mariachi welcome and margarita on arrival to round-the-clock butler service via WhatsApp, every detail feels considered. Staff excel at anticipatory service — whether arranging experiences, securing reservations, or surprising guests with thoughtful touches before they even ask.
Rooms & Villas
The resort offers 71 suites, plus residences and signature villas ranging up to three bedrooms. Interiors celebrate classic Mexican craftsmanship with tiled headboards, carved wood, marble bathrooms, and vibrant textiles. Many accommodations feature private plunge pools and outdoor terraces.
For the ultimate splurge, the Ty Warner Mansion delivers ultra-exclusive luxury with a private chef and car service.
Food & Drink
Dining is a standout experience:
- Sea Grill: Relaxed, ocean-view dining from breakfast through lunch
- Alebrije: Italian classics served under twinkling lights and live guitar
- Árbol: The star of the show — bold Asian- and Indian-inspired flavors with Baja ingredients in a dramatic, water-filled setting
Additional highlights include tacos by the pool, curated tequila tastings, private wine experiences at La Cava, and La Botica, a sultry speakeasy with herb-inspired cocktails and live Cuban music.

- Private beach cabanas with plunge pools and stocked minibars
