Nestled on the serene shores of Los Cabos, Villa La Valencia Beach Resort & Spa redefines luxury with its modern elegance and exceptional amenities. My recent stay at this incredible property left me enchanted, and I can’t wait to share the highlights with you.
A Warm Welcome
From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was evident. Friendly bellhops greeted us, handled our luggage with care, and guided us seamlessly through the check-in process. Unlike many resorts, the paperwork was minimal, allowing us to start relaxing right away.
Culinary Excellence
Foodies, rejoice! Villa La Valencia takes dining to an entirely new level.
- First Night Feast: Our culinary journey began with tortilla chips, fresh guacamole, and pico de gallo. The main course—beef short rib in mole sauce—was simply divine. We ended with a decadent trio of desserts, including a tres leches cake topped with chocolate that even converted a non-fan like me.
- Cooking Demonstrations: Day two featured a cooking class at Villa del Arco, where we learned the secrets of a perfect chicken mole. Another highlight was making orecchiette pasta with Chef Guilio Lupori. Paired with a simple, fresh marinara sauce, it was a dish I’ll never forget. And I’m not just saying that.
- Private Dining Experiences: At La Taberna, we sampled exquisite Italian dishes in an open-kitchen setting, while Latitud 23.5 Steak House treated us to a wood-grilled filet mignon that was nothing short of perfection. These private meals, hosted in serene settings, were among the best I’ve had at any resort.
Accommodations Designed for Relaxation
Built in 2020, the resort’s modern design exudes warmth and comfort. Our suite featured plush bedding, a spacious balcony with breathtaking ocean views, a luxurious soaking tub, and a walk-in rain shower. The added bonus? A bidet—a rare and delightful touch. Families and groups will appreciate the availability of 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom suites.
Pools, Lazy Rivers, and Stunning Beaches
While the beach isn’t swimmable due to strong currents, it’s perfect for sunbathing and whale watching. Villa La Valencia’s pools, however, steal the show. From the infinity pool overlooking the ocean to the heated 1,114-foot lazy river—the longest in Cabo—there’s something for everyone. The adult-only pool and Jacuzzis with ocean views provide tranquil escapes, even during Cabo’s cooler January evenings.
Perfect for Whale Watching
Visiting Los Cabos in January offers the added magic of humpback whale sightings. The resort’s location provides a front-row seat to these gentle giants as they migrate to the region’s warm waters to mate and give birth.
Activities and Entertainment
From daytime cooking classes to SUP yoga and evening beach parties, there’s never a dull moment. Yet, the resort also offers plenty of opportunities for peaceful relaxation, making it an ideal destination for couples, families, and friends alike.
Final Thoughts
Villa La Valencia Beach Resort & Spa offers an unparalleled blend of luxury, comfort, and adventure. Whether you’re lounging in the lazy river, savoring gourmet cuisine, or simply soaking in the stunning views, this resort promises an unforgettable experience. For anyone planning a trip to Los Cabos, Villa La Valencia should be at the top of your list.
