Giggling Marlin is another downtown Cabo landmark. You can’t miss it – the building takes the form of a giant grinning marlin with a cigar and sunglasses. Once you step inside, the fun is as playful as the building. While the Giggling Marlin has great drinks, music and food, there’s one tradition the more fearless in the crowd can’t pass up. A rite of passage at the Giggling Marlin is to take an upside-down shot while hung like a prize marlin from a fish scale. It’s a photo op like few others in Cabo.

DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY For those who want to dance until dawn, Squid Roe is a decades-old institution in downtown Cabo and a primary destination.

of modern architecture impeccably complementing the DRAMATIC LOCATION and scenery. Designed to optimize the

oceanfront lot, the villa boasts spectacular views throughout its 5 levels. Andras Hites originally came to Cabo San Lucas for the fishing and fell in love with this UNIQUE LOCALE, selecting Pedregal as a building site due to its secure gated community and captivating ocean views. Maximizing those views became a central priority for Hites in the architectural conception of Villa Bellissima. He explains that one ingenious architectural aspect is “the elevation staggering of the daytime living areas, giving each area a totally UNOBSTRUCTED VIEW of Land’s End.”

While the views are undeniably a highlight at Villa Bellissima, the privacy of the villa is also a focal point. “When you enter the villa and close the front door, you are in your own haven – it feels as though the outside world no longer exists,” says Hites. The Pedregal – often referred to as the “Beverly Hills of Cabo” – offers a wonderful sense of EXCLUSIVITY AND SECURITY . Villa Bellissima takes it a step

Built into the hillside above the luxurious Resort at Pedregal on the beach below, Villa ural rocky slope while evoking a remarkably airy feeling, in no small part due to the enormous windows and soaring ceilings. The villa includes a PRIVATE ELEVATOR for easy access to each of the floors due to the sloping angle of the lot (up to 60 degrees) and the elevation above the beach. The daytime living rooms are situated on the main floor with two pools, while bedrooms are conveniently situated either a floor up or a floor down. The broad windows and retracting glass walls extend interior spaces to spacious outdoor terraces.

Aside from its stunning architectural design, Villa Bellissima possesses many UNIQUE TOUCHES throughout. The magnificent 8-bedroom, 11-bath villa features expansive interior living areas beautifully decorated with a thoughtful nod to both traditional influences and MODERN GLAMOUR .

Hites also wanted the villa “not to feel like a big hotel, but more intimate like a home that is very comfortable for 16 people.” Architect
