If there’s one thing we at The Cabo Sun hear from readers planning a splurge trip, it’s: “Where do the celebs stay?”
Spoiler: increasingly, it’s not hotels—it’s private villas with full staff, movie-set views, and every toy under the sun. With record crowds on the way this season, booking a villa can mean privacy, space, and tailored service, especially during busy weeks like Bisbee’s in late October.
Below are 10 celebrity-favorite estates—from Palmilla to Puerto Los Cabos—plus quick tips to pick the right vibe for your group.

1. Casa Oliver — Puerto Los Cabos
Fresh off Viola Davis’ 60th birthday celebration, this 17,000-sq-ft beachfront icon blends a spa, gym, theater, and a 100-ft infinity pool—basically a private resort for your crew.
2. Villa La Datcha — Pedregal (Cabo San Lucas)
A 10-bedroom, 20,000-sq-ft stunner with a spa, gym, cinema, and round-the-clock staff. Jessica Simpson’s family spring-break stay put this megavilla on many mood boards.
3. Casa Roca de Pájaro — Palmilla
Five bedrooms on the sand with sweeping Sea of Cortez views and direct beach access—classic Palmilla privacy with easy resort-area access.

4. Casa Catrina — Palmilla
Six bedrooms for up to 12, panoramic views, and spa-style touches—great for milestone trips that need “wow” but stay family-friendly.
5. Casa Elije — Palmilla Cove
A 30,000-sq-ft, 10-bedroom showpiece with a private theater, gym, and staff, and dramatic terraces over the cove. If your group wants the biggest canvas for a celebration, start here.
6. Casa Koll Estate — Palmilla
A legendary 15,000-sq-ft oceanfront compound created by Palmilla pioneer Don Koll, with main house + guesthouse, tennis, and manicured grounds—timeless Cabo elegance.
7. Casa Milagro — Puerto Los Cabos
Hacienda style meets beachfront ease: six bedrooms, a Spanish courtyard, and a saltwater infinity pool with a swim-up bar.

8. Enclave West Villa #17 — Ritz-Carlton Residences
Part of the private Enclaves at Puerto Los Cabos, this modern estate sleeps up to 18 and typically includes cook and butler for breakfast and lunch—hotel polish in a private home.
9. Villa Mareas — Punta Ballena
Think “entertainer’s dream”: home theater, wine cellar, gym, and spa-style amenities, plus access to the Punta Ballena Beach Club.
10. Casa Carreta — Punta Ballena
Six bedrooms and a private casita, with infinity pool, hot tub, and firepit, and beach-club access—a versatile crowd-pleaser for mixed-age groups.

How to choose (and save) like a pro
- Lock dates early in peak months. Fall through the holidays books fast, thanks to marquee events and a record travel year. If you’re eyeing November/December, don’t wait.
- Match your vibe to the neighborhood. Pedregal = dramatic cliffs and downtown access (La Datcha). Palmilla = swimmable coves and classic glamour (Koll, Elije, Roca de Pájaro, Catrina). Puerto Los Cabos = beach estates with club access (Oliver, Milagro).
- Clarify staffing and inclusions. Many estates include daily housekeeping and concierge; some add chef/butler for breakfast and lunch. Get details in writing so there are no surprises.
- Consider shoulder windows. Our readers love the “quiet eye of the storm” just after Bisbee’s and before Thanksgiving—lively but not hectic, with better availability.
- Hunting seclusion? We recently shared tips on vetting privacy layers, sightlines, and direct-beach access when a low-key stay is the goal.

Bottom line
Whether you’re after a red-carpet-ready estate like Casa Elije, a beach-chic hacienda like Casa Milagro, or a downtown-adjacent showstopper like La Datcha, Los Cabos has a villa that fits the fantasy—and gives you the privacy celebs love.
