Villa Specialist Kimberly’s Top Picks

Just Back from Los Cabos

After 12 years with Cabo Villas, Villa Specialist Kimberly Ruthe knows Los Cabos exceptionally well. Yet every visit brings new experiences, hidden gems, and fresh reasons to fall in love with the destination all over again. For Kimberly, what makes Los Cabos so special extends far beyond its beautiful beaches and luxury accommodations. 

"Cabo's people, culture, and food are what keep me coming back," she says. "One of the things I love most is the diversity of the culinary scene. Chefs from all over Mexico bring their own regional traditions and flavors, creating an incredible dining experience you can't find anywhere else." 

On her latest trip, Kimberly toured some standout villas, enjoyed unforgettable dining experiences, and took time to indulge in one of her favorite Cabo vacation traditions. 

A New Culinary Favorite: Amara Baja 

One of the experiences Kimberly anticipated most during this visit was dining at Amara, and it quickly exceeded expectations. 

"It was the highlight of my trip," Kimberly shares. "The setting is absolutely beautiful, the food was delicious, and I loved learning the story behind the restaurant and how the menu was created."  From thoughtfully crafted dishes to stunning presentations, every detail left a lasting impression. The combination of atmosphere, creativity, and exceptional cuisine has earned Amara a coveted spot on Kimberly's list of personal recommendations. 

"My clients are definitely going to hear about this one. It's my new must-try restaurant in Cabo." 

Villa Visits 

No trip to Los Cabos would be complete without touring some of our most exceptional private villas. During her recent visit, Kimberly explored a variety of Cabo Villas properties across Cabo, but a few stood out for their unique layouts, memorable amenities, and overall guest experience. 

Villa Estrella: An Unexpected Favorite 

One of the biggest surprises of the trip was Villa Estrella. "I was very surprised at how much I loved this villa," Kimberly says. "It has a great layout and is great for couples or families." 

Perched in the hills overlooking Cabo San Lucas, Villa Estrella offers a welcoming blend of comfort, entertainment, and outdoor living. The spacious pool terrace creates a natural gathering space for guests, while multiple indoor and outdoor lounging areas make it easy for everyone to spread out and relax. 

For Kimberly, the standout feature was the lower-level entertainment area. "The best part is the bar downstairs," she says. "It has a full-size bar, pool table, game table, and a nice cozy outdoor firepit." Whether it's a family game night, cocktails with friends, or an evening gathered around the fire, Villa Estrella is designed for creating memories together. 

Villa Maison de Cortes: Modern Luxury Meets Exceptional Dining 

Villa Maison de Cortes left a lasting impression with its sleek contemporary design and elevated guest experience. Set against stunning ocean views, the villa combines sophisticated architecture with comfortable gathering spaces, making it equally appealing for romantic escapes, couples' trips, and larger group getaways. 

Kimberly had the opportunity to experience one of the villa's most sought-after offerings: a private chef dinner. 
"We enjoyed a hosted dinner, and the food was top-notch," she recalls. 

The experience reinforced one of the greatest advantages of a villa stay in Los Cabos. Rather than heading out to a crowded restaurant, guests can enjoy professionally prepared meals in the privacy of their own residence while taking in spectacular views and spending quality time together. 

For travelers looking for a luxurious yet welcoming retreat, Villa Maison de Cortes delivers the best of both worlds. 

Casa Valentina: Family-Friendly Living by the Sea 

For families dreaming of easy beach access, Casa Valentina offers one of Kimberly's favorite combinations: a thoughtful layout and proximity to one of Cabo's swimmable beaches. "I loved the layout of this villa," she says. "It's so great that you can walk down to a swimmable beach." 

The villa's design makes it especially appealing for multigenerational families and groups who want to spend time together while still enjoying plenty of personal space. Comfortable gathering areas, inviting outdoor living spaces, and convenient beach access allow guests to experience the relaxed pace that makes Los Cabos such a desirable vacation destination. 

Being able to walk to the water adds another layer of convenience, making spontaneous morning swims and sunset strolls as part of the everyday experience. 

Villa Costa Azul: A Classic Baja Beachfront Escape 

For travelers seeking a more laid-back Baja lifestyle, Villa Costa Azul captures the essence of beachfront living. "It's a nice simple villa that is beachfront," Kimberly says. "Great for surfers or couples." 

What makes this property especially appealing is its location. Guests can wake up to the sound of the waves, spend the day enjoying the beach, and easily explore nearby local favorites. 

Kimberly recommends making time for one particular neighborhood gem. "You can walk down to one of my favorite beachfront restaurants, Pescadito Break, for a beer and seafood tacos." It's this combination of comfort, convenience, and authentic local experiences that makes Villa Costa Azul such a standout. For couples looking to unplug or surfers chasing their next great session, it offers a relaxed and distinctly Baja retreat. 

The Perfect Way to Unwind 

After busy days touring villas and exploring the destination, Kimberly's preferred way to recharge is simple: an in-villa massage. 
"This is always one of my favorite experiences," she says. "The massage therapists are so talented, and it's the perfect way to relax after a day in the sun." 

It's a reminder that some of Cabo's most memorable moments happen right in the comfort and privacy of your villa, where personalized services can transform a great vacation into an exceptional one.
