If you’ve searched for “Villas del Mar” and a specific casita number — 5, 6, 17, 33, 34, or 37 — you’re looking for one gated community within Palmilla, on the Sea of Cortez side of the Tourist Corridor. It’s a collection of individually designed casitas rather than one single property, which is why the numbering can be confusing from search results alone. Here’s what the community actually is, what’s currently available to book, and how to find the right fit.
What Villas del Mar is
Villas del Mar is a small, walled residential enclave inside Palmilla — the same community that surrounds the Jack Nicklaus–designed golf course and the One&Only Palmilla resort. Each casita is individually finished with its own layout, though most share the community’s hacienda-inspired architecture and proximity to Palmilla Beach. Because units are separately owned, availability and exact configuration vary by casita and by season — a casita number you’ve seen elsewhere online isn’t necessarily one we have access to today.
What’s currently bookable
Right now, Villas del Mar Casita 6 is the one unit from this community in our directly bookable inventory:
- 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, sleeps up to 8
- Private infinity-edge pool, jacuzzi, and alfresco dining terrace
- Open-plan indoor living with ocean views and a gourmet kitchen
- Walking distance to Palmilla Beach, one of the more swimmable stretches of the Sea of Cortez in Los Cabos
If you came across a different casita number in your search — 5, 17, 33, 34, or 37 — that unit is not currently part of our inventory. Send us your dates and we’ll confirm what’s available in Villas del Mar or point you to a comparable option nearby in Palmilla.
Location and what’s around it
Villas del Mar sits within Palmilla, roughly 20 minutes from Los Cabos International Airport and about 15 minutes from either Cabo San Lucas or San José del Cabo. Being inside Palmilla means walking or short-drive access to the One&Only Palmilla resort’s dining and spa, the Palmilla golf course, and the calm, swimmable beach the community is known for.
Who a Villas del Mar casita suits
A casita is a different fit than a standalone villa: it’s a smaller footprint (typically 2–3 bedrooms) inside a shared gated community rather than a private estate on its own lot. That makes it a strong option for couples, small families, or a group of up to 8 who want Palmilla’s beach and golf setting without the space or cost of a larger villa. Groups larger than 8, or those wanting a fully private compound with no shared community elements, are usually better matched to one of Palmilla’s standalone villas — see the Palmilla luxury villa guide for that range, or compare it directly against Cabo San Lucas’s largest-estate community in our Palmilla vs Pedregal guide.
How to book
Casita-style inventory in Villas del Mar turns over differently than standalone villas, since units are individually owned. The fastest way to confirm current availability — Casita 6 or another unit in the community — is to send your dates and group size directly.
Frequently asked questions
Is Villas del Mar one property or several?
Several. It’s a gated community of individually owned casitas inside Palmilla, not a single villa — which is why you’ll see different casita numbers referenced online.
Is Casita 6 within walking distance of the beach?
Yes. Casita 6 is a short walk from Palmilla Beach, which fronts the calmer, swimmable Sea of Cortez side of Los Cabos.
Can I book a different Villas del Mar casita number?
Only Casita 6 is currently in our bookable inventory. Send us your dates and we’ll confirm whether another unit in the community is available, or suggest a comparable Palmilla villa.
How does a Villas del Mar casita compare to a full Palmilla villa?
A casita is smaller and sits within a shared gated community, typically 2–3 bedrooms for up to 8 guests. Standalone Palmilla villas offer more space and full privacy — see our Palmilla villa collection for larger options.
