Luxury Villas in San José del Cabo

Discover luxury villas in San José del Cabo. Art galleries, colonial charm, championship golf. The quieter side of Los Cabos. Book with ERentals Exclusive.

The Artistic Heart of Los Cabos
San José del Cabo is the side of Los Cabos that people discover on their second visit, and then never leave. While Cabo San Lucas earns the headlines with marina nightlife, San José cultivates a quieter sophistication: colonial architecture, Thursday Art Walks through downtown galleries, farm-to-table restaurants that rival Mexico City, and a coastline where the desert meets the Sea of Cortez in dramatic fashion. The villas here tend toward architectural ambition, built into hillsides and cliff edges with infinity pools that face the morning sunrise.
Starting from $215 per night

Where to Stay

Downtown (Centro)
The colonial heart. Art galleries, the Thursday Art Walk, restaurants, and the main church plaza. Walkable and charming, especially in the evening.
Puerto Los Cabos
The luxury marina development east of downtown. Golf courses, yacht harbor, and villa estates. Quieter and more exclusive than Cabo San Lucas marina.
Palmilla
The legendary resort area between San José and the Corridor. One&Only Palmilla anchors the neighborhood. Some of the most exclusive private villas in all of Los Cabos.
East Cape
The frontier beyond San José. Unpaved roads, surf breaks, empty beaches, and the most remote luxury properties in the region.
