Villa del Faro is located about an hour's drive from the Los Cabos airport on a rough dirt road. It is a unique and secluded hotel situated on 12 acres of gardens and desert overlooking miles of private, deserted beach. It is an oasis of beautiful gardens and stately palms, and painstakingly handcrafted dwellings that bring to mind both a Mexican hacienda and an Italianate villa. It is not a place for everyone. It offers solitude instead of shops, long walks on the only swimmable beach on the east cape, hikes into the deep arroyo instead of golf, watching the whales play from your private balcony, and personal care from the staff. While the hotel sits in lush gardens, the surrounding desert is pristine and untouched. Villa del Faro was built with the environment in mind. It is laid out with one main building and a collection of casitas placed naturally on the existing landscape. It is a Green Hotel – truly off the grid. There are no electrical power lines or phone lines. Everything at the Villa is run on solar power, supplemented by a generator when needed.
We are a family interested in providing rest and relaxation to guests; an oasis from which to explore the East Cape in the desert coast of Baja California.
The East Cape of Baja California Sur is a unique spot on the coast of the Peninsula, right between the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California. Within forty-five minutes from our property – or right on our beach – there are great areas for surfing, snorkeling, relaxing, hiking, and bird-watching.
