Villa del Faro

Villa del Faro is a hidden oasis nestled on the Sea of Cortez with acres of private beach. The villa was created as a labor of love by artisans and architects and is an American family enterprise.

It is one of the most beautiful hideaways on the East Cape of Baja Sur and is now offering exclusive and exquisite accommodations and cuisine.

There are miles of empty beach, trails into the mountains, good surfing, ocean swimming, bird watching, snorkeling, scuba-diving near-by, whale watching from your private balcony.

My husband and I have only the highest praise for the efforts and accomplishments of the folks at Villa del Faro. They have created a paradise in the middle of a desert, a true retreat. We were impressed by the careful use of water, the continuous recycling efforts, and the luxury achieved with solar power! Not the least of all was the sumptuous menu beautifully presented and, believe me, thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend Villa del Faro to anyone looking for a vacation retreat.
