Looking out over the sea of Cortez and the stunning rock formation of Land’s End is the Villa del Arco Beach Resort & Spa. This Mexico resort is surrounded by lush greenery and palm trees and occupies a prime location on the famous El Médano beach. With recreational activities such as tennis and sailing on site as well as golf and horseback riding nearby, the Villa del Arco Los Cabos Beach Resort & Spa appeals to all types of leisure travelers. This all-suites hotel offers all-inclusive packages as well as European plans.

The hotel buildings resemble the architecture of the Southwest and are built around a central lagoon-style pool and surrounding gardens. The lobby has marble floors and soft cream colors with soaring arches. Guests can choose from four types of suites, including studios and one-, two-, or three-bedroom configurations and two Penthouse Suites. All combine contemporary architecture with local touches and are decorated in soft shades of white, from the ivory marble floors to the cream and beige bedding and natural wood furnishings. All categories of suites boast living areas, kitchen areas and furnished patios, while One Bedroom Suites and larger offer additional comforts such as Jacuzzi tubs and two-plus bathrooms.

Villa del Arco has three restaurants on site. The resort’s signature restaurant, La Perla, serves international cuisine, while El Faro specializes in favorites like seafood, sushi, pizza and tapas. The unusual and exciting El Bucanero offers light fare on a replica of a Spanish galleon anchored in one of the two large swimming pools.

In addition to swimming at the beach and lounging beside the swimming pools, guests can snorkel, scuba dive, play tennis, or go whale watching or horseback riding. Golf enthusiasts can arrange for a tee time at one of the many Cabo golf courses nearby. The 31,000-square-foot, three-story hacienda-style Desert Spa offers an array of premium spa services, a hydrotherapy center and a beauty salon. Guests can work up a sweat at the resort’s expansive fitness center, which provides weight training facilities, treadmills and private yoga classes.
