We’ve mentioned how utterly romantic Las Ventanas al Paraíso is once before, and there is no denying it. But beyond catering to just couples, it’s also a really incredible place and quite honestly a no-brainer for a getaway with your girlfriends… Who doesn’t love to be pampered, time to actually relax (hopefully without an ounce of guilt that you left your kiddos + hubby at home), and a little (okay, okay maybe a lot!) of indulgence. Your mantra here will quickly turn into something along the lines of “Eat, Sleep, Beach — Repeat” and will include lots of sun, even more spa, a sprinkle of fitness, plus some fabulous cocktails (because #balance). It undeniably will be an unforgettable few days away!
Read on for five reasons why you should book Las Ventanas al Paraíso for your next girls trip…
REASON NO. 1
The Arrival
Sometimes it takes a bit to get adjusted. But leave it to Las Ventanas to make any stress melt away from the moment you touch down in Mexico… The moment you arrive (and we mean to the airport, not even to the hotel!) your ever-indulgent girls getaway begins with a warm greeting and a car fully stocked with ice cold cervezas, chilled towels and more! And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, you arrive to the property only to be greeted by a mariachi band and whipped margaritas. A proper check in at a reception desk? Not here! Your personal villa host will escort you to your gorgeous and not-so-humble abode for a magical experience ahead…
Reason no. 2
The Accommodations
The accommodations on property are simply incredible and will spoil you silly for all future stays. The Signature Villas are hands down some of our favorite accommodations on property and worth the splurge — especially for an indulgent girls weekend away! Ranging from 1-3 bedrooms and spanning up to 5,700 square feet (can we talk about that for a second?!) — these accommodations offer an incredible indoor-outdoor living space and are really tough to come by. Each of the signature villas come with their own private infinity-edge pool and jacuzzi for those midday dips, a terrace for getting lost in a good book + that much needed daily nap, and a firepit for that alfresco cocktail. Regardless of how many girls you go with or what signature villa you choose from, each promises you’ll be pampered by the attentive pool butlers, both poolside and beachside!
For smaller groups: the one-bedrooms can accommodate up to 3 and come with two full baths. Choose from a villa that has a media room (and great should you wish to just cuddle up one evening and watch an entire romantic comedy without being asked to do something for someone else at least once!) or one with a wellness room (a.k.a. your very own private oasis that’s outfitted with the latest fitness equipment + a lush sunlit courtyard ideal for Tai Chi and yoga sessions, massages and more!)…
For bigger groups: The two-bedroom signature villas can accommodate up to 5 and a the three-bedroom signature villas can accommodate up to 7.
REASON NO. 3
The Sense of Place
In a spectacular setting against the shoreline that lies between San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, Las Ventanas al Paraíso truly embodies the Rosewood Hotel’s “Sense of Place” philosophy, where everything on property captures the essence of Baja California — from the thoughtfully chosen color palettes to the incorporation of beautiful artworks and accessories from local artisans… Here, you feel a sense of place in every way possible. And there’s just no better feeling.
REASON NO. 4
The OTT Facilities & Amenities
In between your morning fitness routine—be it a quick visit at the state-of-the-art gym, a fitness class (choose from over 30 different kinds of classes!) or even a private yoga, pilates or training session—and your daily late-afternoon visit to the spa (because massages, facials and treatments are very much in order!), your hardest decision will quickly become which pool to choose from… Your own private pool away from it all or one of the many beautiful pools where the poolside butler service is just as incredible as it is in your villa. You quite literally cannot go wrong, but just note by the resort pools you’ll have someone to cater to your every need: from wake-up calls and chilled Evian spray to sunblock at an SPF of your choosing and complimentary refreshments & treats throughout the day!
REASON NO. 5
The Dining Outlets & The Brand New Speakeasy
With over five dining venues each better than the next, it’s safe to say you’re spoilt for choice and really never have to leave property. Regardless of where you end up, save room for La Botica: the speakeasy that just opened (and the first speakeasy piano bar in Mexico!). Hidden behind a door that looks like a vintage Coca-Cola refrigerator, the super fun late-night bar is the perfect place for a nightcap and will transport you back in time with a space resembling a 1920s herbal medicine pharmacy. After all, La Botica aptly translates to “drugstore”. No detail was overlooked: the bar features an elaborate display of spices, flowers and herbs and the unique menu features apothecary-style cocktails hand-crafted with organic produce and botanicals. The sexy vibe is complemented with entertainment by singer and performer Rosalía de Cuba Rosalia de Cuba, the first ever Artist in Residence at Las Ventanas. It’s safe to say you’re likely to find yourself coming here at the end of each dinner and staying out much later than expected!
(Open Tuesday through Sunday from 7 p.m.–2 a.m., with live music from 8 p.m.–12 a.m.)
