Las Ventanas al Paraíso, Los Cabos

Meaning 'windows to paradise' Las Ventanas al al Paraíso, a Rosewood Resort promises luxurious suites, a world-class spa and inspired cuisine. Located in Los Cabos, in Mexico's Baja California between Cabo san Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, this is the place for discerning travellers who want to experience the very best.

There are 71 exceptional suites all reflecting Mexico's architectural heritage and include marble touches, traditional tile floors and private patios or terraces. Some Suites also have their own pool, spa treatment room and Jacuzzi.

Everything about the three restaurants here is remarkable, even down to the finest Limoge crockery in the main restaurant. The emphasis is on a delicious blend of Baja-Mediterranean cuisine, but Mexican specialities and succulent grilled seafood are also served. The 3,500 bottle wine room, La Cava, will make choosing your wines a real pleasure.

Other facilities include the world-class spa, which embraces a holistic approach to treating and uplifting your mind, body and spirit. There's a large pool with meandering canals, tennis, a beach cinema for intimate movie screenings under the stars and nightly entertainment. Additional activities including snorkelling, diving, kayaking, yachting, deep-sea fishing, horse riding, golf and whale-watching tours can all be arranged.

We like: the superb whale watching opportunities. From January through to April you don't even have to leave the resort to spot mothers and their calves frolicking in the sea in front of you.

Best for: the discerning traveller, couples and honeymooners.
