Luxury Villa Rentals for 2+ people
A perfect contrast to the more up-tempo Cabo San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo offers an authentic, artistic experience with a serene, colonial charm. And with their privileged locations along the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula, San Jose del Cabo villas are the best way to experience the stunning landscapes and rich culture that define Los Cabos.
Founded in the 18th century, San Jose del Cabo is known for its cobblestone streets, 18th-century architecture, and the iconic Plaza Mijalares. Its function as a natural harbor allowed the town to grow. From the 20th century onward, it also became known for its artsy vibe and natural beauty, which made it a popular tourist destination.
Today, San Jose del Cabo combines this rich history with an unforgettable ambiance to create a unique Mexican stay.
