About this property

Luxurious Beachfront Villa in Gated Loreto Bay- Pool, Golf Carts, SUPs & More

Joya del Mar is one of the few beachfront homes in gated Loreto Bay, with the Sea of Cortez just steps from your patio. The home has a private, sandy path and is set on a quiet stretch of amazing beachfront.

•Direct beachfront location
•Private infinity pool and hot tub overlooking the Sea of Cortez
•Guard-gated Loreto Bay with 24-hour private security
•4 spacious suites, each with ensuite bathroom
•Two golf carts included for exploring Loreto Bay
•Four stand-up paddleboards for the calm, crystal-clear water

THE SPACE

Joya del Mar is designed around indoor/outdoor Baja living, with panoramic views of the Sea of Cortez, Coronado and Carmen Islands, and the Sierra de la Giganta mountains.

The outdoor space is where you'll spend your time: relax beside the private infinity pool and hot tub, lounge on the beachfront patio, or head up to the rooftop terrace for cocktails as the sun sets over the mountains.

Inside, four spacious guest suites each have a private ensuite bathroom, with a fifth full bathroom off the main living area. Three suites have king beds, the fourth has a queen and bunk beds, perfect for children or a family.

GETTING AROUND

A golf cart is included, two pending availability, Stand Up paddleboards are also available for guest use, and bicycles for cruising the neighborhood. In Loreto Bay, everything is close enough to walk or take the golf cart to: restaurants, shops, beaches, and the 18-hole golf course are all nearby, with excellent dining within walking distance of the villa.

EXPLORE LORETO

The Sea of Cortez, nicknamed the world’s aquarium by Jacques Cousteau, is a UNESCO World Heritage protected site. It is pristinely clean, teaming with biodiversity, and a point of pride with locals. Our beachfront location provides incredible access for enjoying a true paradise.

Snorkel or paddleboard right from the beach, explore Coronado and Carmen Islands, fish, hike the Sierra Gigantes or Nopolo Rock for amazing views, view the historic cave paintings, play golf, or spend an afternoon in historic Loreto town and see the original California mission, known as the Mother of the Missions.

Loreto is less than a two hour direct flight from Los Angeles.

We had the best time! The house was spacious and beautiful. We loved having the pool even though the beach was steps away. We wanted both which I don’t think a lot of houses had. The golf carts were def key to have. With the heat it was hard to walk around but the carts made it nice to get around the community. The only draw back was that it was low season and lot of shops/restaurants were closed. We loved that there were plenty of paddle boards which we used daily. Veronica the prop manager was excellent in communicating and we definitely want to go back again.

Luxury Villa in Paradise

We loved staying at Joya Del Mar. There were a few issues while we were there, and the property management team was very responsive and helpful. Some things could use a bit of maintenance, but hopefully they are addressing those things. It was absolutely wonderful having a private, heated pool and a hot tub right on the beach. The property would be great for multiple families, it’s huge!

Amazing stay!!

We loved everything about this stay! A beautiful home in a fantastic location. The bedrooms were spacious & 3 of the 4 rooms had amazing views. There were a ton of outdoor living spaces inside the home. The home was very comfortable & they provided more than enough linens and pillows. The beds were very comfortable. Truly a luxury stay. The pool & beach right out front were fantastic and we went swimming in both daily. The SUPs were great and the golf carts worked perfectly. We loved our stay!

Una casa hermosa en todos sus espacios, desde las amplias habitaciones con baños muy bien equipados, un gran espacio de cocina, comedor y living donde pudimos convivir en grupo y compartir! Muy agradable el que tenga una alberca privada. Las vistas de luna llena por la noche y de hermosos paisajes de día. Los carritos nos ayudaron a movernos a la marina, al Oxxo y a los restaurantes! No hay mejor cocina para comer de primer nivel! El aire acondicionado súper eficiente para pasarla de lujo. La disfrutamos en grande!!!

Amazing house in Nopolo

If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful place to visit, look no further than Nopolo. This house is right on the beach and close to plenty of restaurants, and stores. There is a hotel nearby, but a very simple property. A lovely community, very quiet. The house itself is beautiful, with all the fun water toys to enjoy. If you love to paddleboard, this is your place! There is plenty of room to spread out, perfect for 2 or 3 couples. Great pool and jacuzzi, nice outdoor space to enjoy the stars, and perfect weather. Great kitchen if you love to cook. Fully stocked with all of the necessary appliances. We look forward to our return to Nopolo, and hopefully another visit to this fantastic property.

Exceptional Beachfront Home!

This house lives up to the expectations. It's a lot of money, but worth it. Right on the beach, very nicely done, well appointed, clean, private courtyard with pool and spa, 3 beautiful bedrooms with ocean views and comfortable beds (4th bedroom with no view). We had three couples split it and it worked out perfectly. Loreto is the most beautiful part of Baja and the rooftop deck offers 360 degree breathtaking views of the sea and the surrounding mountains. Anything on the beach can be windy, and this home thoughtfully offers sheltered sitting areas (with BBQ). The golf cart is a nice way to explore the local area. You can sit in the hot tub, sip your coffee, and watch the sun rise over the sea, as the pelicans dive for fish right in front of you. Can't imagine how anyone would be disappointed renting this home.

Wanted to stay for a month!

Loved this property. We have been coming to Loreto Bay for years. This house spoiled us. Everything we could ask for plus some. The paddle boards, bikes and golf cart were used everyday. The view of the sea and mountains are amazing 🤩. We had a group of 7 adults and everyone couldn’t believe the beauty of this property. Loreto is a very special place. We will definitely stay at this property again, hopefully every year!!! Thank you for sharing your home.

Family Christmas

We stayed at the property with our adult children over Christmas. It was an ideal layout for plenty of together time and plenty of privacy. There are three large master suite bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and a smaller bunk room that has it's own bathroom, as well. The town of Loreto is quiet and the restaurants that we tried in town were great. You will want a rental car if you plan to go into town often. The Nopolo area is still being developed so there were a few obstacles in that regard (unpaved roads) but nothing that ruined our time there. The restaurants on the property were all very good. Everyone was friendly and it was the perfect place to be together during Covid. Quiet with safety standards in place. Everyone was masked and Covid aware. Literally everything we wanted or needed was on/in the property. The management company stocked our groceries/liquor before our arrival with a list I provided. I would highly recommend this for families or a nice couples getaway. We also golfed at Danzante which was about a thirty minute drive away but well worth the trip.

Fabulous Property

We came for a 60th Birthday with 4 couples. The setting was spectacular with tons of outside seating areas to spend time together or apart. The pool and hot tub were amazing and the proximity to the beach made it easy for us to walk out the door and hop on our stand up boards. The amenities were extensive with anything you may need to make your stay comfortable. This property is hard to beat!

absolutely incredible property

Celebrated my 50th birthday with family and friends at this incredible home! The pictures don't do it justice, it was truly beautiful. There was plenty of room for the 10 of us, kids shared the room with bunkbeds and queen bed. the adults had the other 3 bedrooms.The outdoors spaces were amazing ,from watching the sunrise to enjoying the sunset on the rooftop deck. We had Julios come in one night and cook for us, then the next day his brother picked us up at the beach right in front of the house and took us to Coronado island, where we snorkeled it was beautiful..Loreto was fabulous and we will definitely be back!

All you need is toothbrush and swimsuit.

Photos really don't show the true beauty of this rental. We were a large family eight adults and 5 young kids and at no time did we feel crowded. Plenty of quiet , get away type space . Kudos to the owners for all the toys available for use , the well equipped kitchen and especially the use of a laundry room with extra towels and sheets etc. Our go to man Julio set us up with fishing, snorkeling, birding, and even a photographer for family pics. Grandpa was happy golfing with anyone who wanted to go with him and the ladies were happy to have Catalino( Linno) come over and cook a few fabulous meals. Paddle boarding ,soaking in the hot tub , playing with the little ones in the pool, and sitting around one of the fire pits in the evening, it doesn't get any better!

A Little Slice of Heaven

The Loreto Bay House was an epic retreat for our family. The five of us loved the house and especially Julio the caretaker. He taught us to dive for clams (we would catch and eat a hundred per day just 50' in front of the house), made ceviche with our fish when we returned from fishing, got us taxi's and reservations at excellent restaurants, and over all made the trip one of our great vacations. The house needs little description except for it is all the pictures show and more, it is absolutely beautiful. The only flaw I saw was that they were doing some minor stucco patch work but it was very minor and of no inconvenience.

All comforts taken care of...

We are a small group of 55+ adults, all professional and quite stressed with the frenetic pace of our daily life. We were looking for a luxurious beach side home to relax and recreate. Well, this house exceeded our desires and expectations! it was extremely well appointed, there was no amenity that was overlooked. From our own golf cart, bikes,paddle- boards and as well as a fully stocked gourmet kitchen. The house itself is very comfortable with 3 master suites all overlooking the Sea of Cortez all bedrooms have their own European type A/C units as well as large screen TV's and WI-FI throughout the house. I highly recommend this house, it most definitely allowed us to relax and enjoy it.

Our first trip to Loretto could not have been better given our fabulous accommodations, great concierge service, gorgeous views, and friendly staff connected to this villa.
