    The space
    YOUR PRIVATE DESERT RETREAT IN LA PAZ

    Escape the crowds and discover a different side of Baja California Sur.

    Surrounded by dramatic desert landscapes, mountains and beautiful views of the Sea of Cortez, our secluded villa in the gated community of Maravia offers a peaceful setting for families and friends looking to relax, reconnect and enjoy nature.

    Spend your days exploring nearby beaches, relaxing in your private saltwater plunge pool or challenging each other to a game of pool or ping pong. When evening arrives, head up to the rooftop, settle in under the stars and enjoy the extraordinary beauty of Baja's night sky.

    THREE SPACIOUS KING BEDROOMS

    Our villa comfortably accommodates up to six guests in three beautifully appointed bedrooms.

    Each bedroom features a king-size bed and its own private full bathroom, giving everyone the comfort and privacy of their own space.

    With 4.5 bathrooms throughout the property, the villa is ideal for families, three couples or friends traveling together.

    YOUR PRIVATE SALTWATER POOL & OUTDOOR LIVING

    Enjoy your own saltwater plunge pool/hot tub, surrounded by the peaceful desert landscape.

    The pool/hot tub is heated from April through November.

    Spend lazy afternoons relaxing outdoors, gather for a BBQ or enjoy a quiet morning with coffee beneath the shaded pergola.

    With beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and desert, the outdoor spaces invite you to slow down and enjoy your surroundings.

    A GAME ROOM FOR EVERYONE

    UNFORGETTABLE ROOFTOP STARGAZING

    One of the most special experiences at our villa begins after sunset.

    Away from the bright lights of the city, the rooftop offers an incredible setting to admire the night sky. Grab a blanket, find your favorite spot and enjoy an evening beneath the stars.

    Our villa is located in the peaceful, gated community of Maravia, approximately 25 minutes by car from La Paz's famous Malecón.

The home was exactly as described and as shown on VRBO. It is located in a gated community and has been well maintained. We were able to experience wonderful sunsets from the balcony and have our meals outside as well. The bedrooms were spacious and every bedroom had its own bathroom, which was amazing and I think it’s a great home for a large family travelling or a group of friends
