Casa Ballena - Los Cabos, Mexico

Resting on the luxurious grounds of the exclusive Punta Ballena community of Los Cabos, Casa Ballena is a magnificent hacienda-style home filled with charm and beauty. Interior decor is both elegant and whimsical, with rich leather and wood furnishings, fine linens, sparkling starburst chandeliers, vibrant local art, and a sea of colorful light fixtures in the living and dining room. Rustic touches include wrought iron railings on the indoor stairways and wood-beamed vaulted ceilings that feature in the common areas of the home. A fantastic getaway for families or groups of friends, Ballena has four spacious bedroom suites with gorgeous bathrooms and patio or pool access. Each room has its own unique style and personality, but all have a relaxed and calming atmosphere with ivory walls, creamy tile floors, patterned Persian rugs, elegant drapery, comfy cushions and bedding featuring in all the rooms. Out on the terrace, rattan sofas and lounge beds border the large infinity-edge pool that spills over into a sunning pool below. Nearby, a traditional Palapa hut provides shade for the wet bar, grilling station and six-seat dining table - creating the perfect spot for casual entertaining. Guests can enjoy a sunset dip in the elevated Jacuzzi or head over to the nearby Punta Ballena Beach Club to dine at the restaurant or relax by the posh bar and Oceanside infinity pool. The surrounding views of the Sea of Cortez are breathtaking and made all the more magnificent by the pods of whales that often breach the waters by Punta Ballena
