Villa de Avila
Villa de Ávila | Wedding Villa for 100 Guests in Querencia
Sleeps 12 | Events up to 100 Guests | 6 Bedrooms | 5 Baths | Querencia, San José del Cabo
Villa de Ávila is a six-bedroom hillside villa in Querencia, the private community above San José del Cabo, and it is our wedding house: up to 100 guests for the celebration, with 12 sleeping at the villa. The wedding party stays in the house, everyone else arrives on the day. It is not beachfront, and we say so plainly — what it gives you instead is elevation and a panorama over the Sea of Cortés and the bay of San José that a house on the sand cannot.
The flat lawn below the pool, shaded by a large tree, is where ceremonies happen, and it looks at the same view as the pool and the terrace. You are not renting a venue and a view separately. Above it, an infinity pool runs the whole front of the house with a rock waterfall at one end and a round jacuzzi at the other, and a long covered terrace runs the full length of the building — which is also the plan B if the wind comes up.
The architecture is hacienda: regional stone, solid beams, wrought-iron chandeliers and arches. There are several separate living rooms rather than one open space, a formal dining room, a grand piano in the main salon with the sea behind it, a full-size pool table, and a kitchen built for a banquet with a large island, a stone hood and a wine cellar. Housekeeping is included, and the Blue Desert Cabo concierge — included with every stay — arranges a chef, a butler, groceries, airport transport, spa, yachts and golf.
Weddings at Villa de Ávila
The maximum is 100 guests, said up front. Every event needs prior written approval, and the Querencia community sets its own rules on music and hours — Blue Desert Cabo confirms all of it in writing before you commit to anything. There may be an event fee and a security deposit; we tell you that now rather than after you have chosen the date. Outside vendors need approval in advance with their list submitted beforehand.
Why This House Works for a Wedding
- The ceremony looks at the same view as the pool — the Sea of Cortés and the bay of San José. You are not renting a venue and a view separately.
- One level, not a single step. It matters when grandparents, a bride in a long dress and guests in heels are all moving between the garden, the terrace and the bathrooms.
- A long covered terrace as the plan B if the wind comes up, and a grand piano in the salon.
- 100 guests at the event, 12 sleeping over. The wedding party stays in the house; everyone else arrives on the day.
- A kitchen built for a banquet: large island, stone hood and wine cellar.
One Level, Not a Single Step
Bedrooms, living rooms, kitchen, terrace, pool and garden all sit on the same plane, with no step between them. For a wedding it removes the problem of moving a hundred people, some of them elderly, around a house. For an ordinary stay it does the same for a group travelling with grandparents or a toddler.
A Grand Piano, a Pool Table and Several Living Rooms
Not an upright in a corner: a grand piano in the main salon, positioned with the ocean behind it, and a full-size pool table in the living room. With several separate sitting rooms rather than one open space, twelve people can spend an evening in without ending up in the same room.
Querencia: What Is Around You
Querencia is a private community above San José del Cabo, whose historic centre, galleries and restaurants are a short drive down the hill. Querencia has its own club and golf course, but golf is not included with the villa: access depends on the club and is arranged separately. Tell your concierge before you travel and we will confirm what is possible.
