Description
Las Ventanas is a beautifully landscaped luxury resort that flows down among cactus and elephant trees towards the pounding Pacific Ocean. The philosophy here is 'if you want it, we will get it for you', and the service is exemplary. Suites are extremely spacious and beautifully decorated in Mexican style, with fabulous beds, a fireplace, dry agave trees and a telescope in every suite. Most have a spacious private patio, many with plunge pool, which is ideal for relaxing.
There are two signature restaurants that serve delicious Baja-Mediterranean fusion cuisine or grilled fresh seafood by the edge of the ocean, and there is a lovely swim-up tequila/sushi bar.
The spa here is superb, and there are no end of activities to keep you entertained, from championship golf courses (with specially negotiated green fees) to sports fishing and whale-watching in the winter. You can also go horseback riding, take trips into the desert and there are three private yachts for hire.
Its privacy and service make it a favourite exclusive winter hang-out for the Beverly Hills A list, but it is also an excellent choice for families looking for some winter sun.

When to travel
Baja California is characterized by a mild year-round climate, which makes it the perfect getaway anytime of year. Summer (April to September) brings heat and humidity coupled with the threat of hurricanes (September and October). Some restaurants also closed during these months. Winter (December to March) brings more pleasant weather and tourist crowds. This is also when the whale-watching is at its best.
