We’ve seen heaven, and it looks just like this; Las Ventanas al Paraíso (The Windows to Paradise) is perfectly named, perfectly positioned and perfectly formed. Balanced on the sands of the Baja Peninsula, where the desert meets the warm waters of the Sea of Cortez, this award-winning hideaway is the pride of Mexico.

And it’s not just sensational surroundings that it has going for it; everything here has been expertly designed to within a whisker of its life, creating a resort with one eye on its Mexican heritage, and the other firmly on 21st-century high-end niceties. So, you'll find traditional thatched roofs, rustic adobe walls and intricate local handicrafts rubbing shoulders with sleek-lined pools, cool limestone floors, and the very latest in spa facilities. And it all works. Beautifully.
