Guests staying at villas in Mexico have countless opportunities to explore natural wonders from ancient Mayan ruins to endless sandy beaches. Espiritu Santo, located just around the corner from your accommodations in Los Cabos, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a must-see destination for tgh its amazing turquoise waters and rolling orange sand dunes.

After taking a quick ferry ride to the island reserve, you'll have all day to explore Espiritu Santo's jaw-dropping red cliffs and native wildlife. Manta rays and sea lions frequent the warm waters, and visitors are encouraged to put on a pair of fins to swim with these graceful creatures. During the summer, grey whales rear their young offshore and are sometimes seen breaching.

Guests at luxury vacation rentals can also borrow a kayak and spend hours exploring this small island that boasts a martian-like landscape. Along the southeastern shores, you can collect an abundance of seashells and make your very own necklace or send home a handful of unique souvenirs to loved ones.
