Cortez Above

Perched within an exclusive gated community, this penthouse apartment in the heart of Los Cabos wins points for the rooftop terrace alone – Sea of Cortez views stretching out ahead, a barbecue going, sundowners in hand. The living space connects kitchen and dining to the outdoors with ease, and a light-filled bedroom wakes you up gently with treetop views over the Baja California hills. Back downstairs, the community's outdoor pool and on-site gym are on hand, and the golf course is a short walk away.

Home truths:
* Some images shown for this apartment are representative, so the furnishings and decor you find on arrival may differ slightly from the photos.
* This home is in a gated community which requires pre-arrival registration to gain access – make sure you complete this before you arrive to avoid any hold-up at the gate.
* You'll have access to the on-site communal pool and gym here. They're shared with the building's other residents
* The nearest swimmable beach is a three-minute drive away rather than on the doorstep, so you'll want access to a car or be happy arranging taxis for beach days.
