Known for its attentive service, luxurious suites, health spa and restaurants, Las Ventanas al Paraiso is a relaxing hideaway located at the tip of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula. The resort, built around the natural beauty of the peninsula, was named "Windows to Paradise."
The Mediterranean-Mexican architecture and design of the resort includes a network of swimming pools with a swim-up bar, patios overlooking the sea and al fresco dining by the Sea of Cortez. This all-suite resort features suites with individual relaxation pools and Jacuzzi, rooftop patios and individual telescopes for stargazing.
All of the 61 suites are lavishly furnished and measure at least 960 square feet in size. The suites offer living areas, wood-burning fireplaces and beautiful views of the sea. If you are planning a honeymoon, book a Rooftop Terrace Junior Suite so that you can enjoy a romantic dinner complete with candles and stars on your rooftop terrace.

Unique treatments include Javanese Lular Royal Ritual, Wholistic Crystal Healing Massage and Nopal Anti-Cellulite & Detox Wrap, an ancient Mexican tradition.
