Villa La Estancia Floor Plans: 1, 2, and 3 Bedroom Layouts Compared
When you are planning a getaway to Medano Beach, the layout of your accommodation can make or break the experience. Whether you are traveling as a couple on a romantic retreat or bringing the whole family for a milestone celebration, understanding the Villa La Estancia floor plans is essential for ensuring everyone has the right balance of privacy and communal space. Unlike standard hotel rooms, these are full-scale luxury residences designed for long-term comfort, featuring expansive terraces and high-end finishes.
At Villa La Estancia, the architecture follows a U-shape design centered around the pool and lush gardens, ensuring that almost every unit has a view of the Sea of Cortez. However, the internal configurations vary significantly between the one, two, and three-bedroom options. Here is a detailed breakdown of how these spaces are organized.
Understanding the 2-Bedroom Villa La Estancia Floor Plans
The heart of the resort is the two-bedroom luxury villa, which serves as the "standard" for the property. This layout is particularly popular because it offers a "lock-off" capability, meaning the second bedroom can often act as a standalone suite if needed.
In a typical 2-bedroom floor plan, such as our own Hermosa Vista (Villa 3301), you will find approximately 2,100 to 2,200 square feet of living space. The layout is designed with the primary living area in the center, flanked by the two bedroom suites.
- The Master Suite: Usually features a King-size bed, a walk-in closet, and a massive en-suite bathroom with a deep soaking tub and a separate glass-enclosed shower. Most master suites have direct sliding door access to the main terrace.
- The Second Bedroom: This room typically offers two Queen beds and its own full bathroom. In many configurations, this room also has a small kitchenette and a separate entrance, providing extra privacy for teenagers or another couple.
- The Great Room: This is the central hub where the gourmet kitchen (complete with breakfast bar), dining area, and living room flow seamlessly together.
One of the defining features of the resort amenities is the massive oceanfront terrace. In the 2-bedroom layout, this terrace spans the entire width of the villa, often featuring a wet bar and enough space for both an outdoor dining set and lounge chairs.
The 1-Bedroom Suite Layout
For couples or small families with one child, the 1-bedroom floor plan provides a more intimate but still incredibly spacious environment. These are generally created by closing off the second bedroom of a larger unit.
You still get the full gourmet kitchen, the laundry room with a full-sized washer/dryer, and the expansive living and dining area. You aren't sacrificing the "home" feel; you are simply opting for a smaller footprint (roughly 1,100 to 1,300 square feet). The master bedroom remains the star of the show, featuring the same luxury spa-style bathroom found in the larger units.
The 3-Bedroom Penthouse and Luxury Layouts
If you are traveling with a group of six to eight people, the 3-bedroom Villa La Estancia floor plans offer the pinnacle of Cabo luxury. These units are often located on the corners of the building or the top floors (penthouses).
- Square Footage: These units often exceed 3,000 square feet.
- The Third Bedroom: Unlike the second bedroom, which usually has two queens, the third bedroom may have another King or two twins, depending on the specific owner's configuration.
- Expanded Terraces: Because many 3-bedroom units are corner suites, they often feature wrap-around balconies that provide 270-degree views of Land’s End and the city lights of Cabo San Lucas.
Practical Specifics: What to Look For
When reviewing floor plans or booking a specific unit, there are a few practical details you should ask the owner or property manager:
- The Lock-Off Feature: Ask if the second bedroom has a separate exterior door. This is great for privacy but important to know if you have very young children you want to keep close.
- Terrace Depth: While all balconies are large, the ground-floor units often have extended patios that lead directly toward the pool area, while upper-floor units offer more privacy and better wind protection.
- Kitchen Configuration: Most units feature a U-shaped kitchen with granite countertops. If you plan on hiring a private chef (a popular choice at Villa La Estancia), ensure the dining table is positioned to accommodate your full group.
Why the 2-Bedroom Layout is the "Sweet Spot"
For most travelers, the 2-bedroom/3-bathroom configuration offers the best value and functionality. Having three full bathrooms is a game-changer when everyone is trying to get ready for a sunset dinner at Edith’s or The Office (just a 10-minute walk down the beach). It ensures that the guests sleeping on the pull-out sofa in the living room have their own full bathroom to use without entering one of the private bedroom suites.
At Hermosa Vista, we chose our specific 2-bedroom layout because of the way the light hits the living area and the seamless transition to the terrace. It feels less like a vacation rental and more like a private estate. You can see the full breakdown of our specific villa details here.
Making the Right Choice for Your Group
- For Honeymooners: The 1-bedroom configuration is plenty of space and feels incredibly indulgent.
- For Two Couples: The 2-bedroom layout is perfect because of the dual-suite design. No one feels like they got the "small room."
- For Multi-Generational Families: The 3-bedroom layout or booking two adjacent 2-bedroom villas is the way to go.
Regardless of which floor plan you choose, you are staying on Medano Beach, the only swimmable beach in Cabo San Lucas. You are steps away from the sand and minutes away from the marina, yet far enough removed from the downtown noise to enjoy a quiet night's sleep.
