Esperanza, Los Cabos (Exclusive Resorts)

The four-bedroom luxury villas are all decorated in seashell shades and with local touches, such as rattan chairs and woven rugs. Inside these shining examples of luxury real estate in Los Cabos, sliding doors open up to verandas with a hot tub (some villas even have a private pool) with sweeping seascapes.

Beyond your villa, there's the rest of Esperanza Resort & Spa to explore. Book a cucumber lime facial at Cabo, the resort's beautifully designed spa lodged in palm-thatched houses. For lunch, tuck into fresh seafood at Cocina del Mar before trying one or more of the 100 varieties of Mexico's agave tequila.

Back in your luxury home in Los Cabos, practice yoga in your private veranda or join the 'Sunshine Yoga' programme at one of the resort's two private coves. For dinner, take part in Mexicanisimo Thursdays where they play live music and serve dishes from various regions of the country.

Outside Esperanza, there's plenty to do in Los Cabos. Sail out to the marine sanctuary of Bahia San Lucas, at the very tip of the Baja Peninsula, to snorkel with triggerfish, angelfish, goatfish, parrotfish and more. Watch newly calved humpbacks, grays, and blues spout, fluke, breach. Reel in an unforgettable catch on a sport fishing excursion in waters that are home to hundreds of species including Marlin, Wahoo, Tuna and more. Tee off on some of the top-rated golf courses in the world, including #58, The Dunes Course at Diamonte, where you'll wind through untouched dunes as you play a round.

If it all becomes too much, wander back to your luxury villa for a laidback soak in your outdoor hot tub as you take in the mesmerising ocean views.
