The Bay of Dreams in the La Paz area of Los Cabos is indeed a dream, with white sands lapped by the azure waters of the Sea of Cortez. And right on the beach is where Rancho de Costa sits. Spread over the two seperate villas which make up Rancho de Costa (Villa Marlin and Villa Langosta) are ten bedrooms, making this holiday home perfect for large families or several groups of friends.

And what better way of enjoying paradise with loved ones than by trying typical East Cape activities, such as fishing, snorkelling, swimming and wind-surfing? The estate’s endless facilities also include access to tennis and basketball courts, a fitness room, hiking trails and a private airport.

Back at the ranch, there's enough space for everyone to find their favourite spot across the two colourfully decorated and furnished villas. Comfortable sofas and classic wood dining tables beckon for relaxed drinks and meals. And the cinema room is sure to be a hit for movie night. Travertine and marble floors make spaces feel cool and luxurious, with granite countertops matching their quality.

Each of the ten bedrooms has its own ensuite, with many also enjoying terrace access. Most have a king or queen-size bed, with one bedroom being ideal for children as it has two single beds.

Have a refreshing dip in the large pool with swim-up bar or unwind in one of the two Jacuzzis on the main terrace. The star of this space is the truly tropical palapa with outdoor lounge and al fresco dining area. Steps from the terrace take you right down onto the immaculate white sands.

It may be hard to bring yourself to leave the idyllic scenes and peaceful atmosphere of Rancho de Costa. But La Paz, with its restaurant-lined waterfront promenade, beaches, art and parks, is sure to tempt you into making the hour's drive.
