Solar-powered 3-bedroom villa with sea and mountain views, a swimming pool, and indoor-outdoor living in Zacatitos. Walk to Playa del Zacatitos, then reach San José del Cabo in 20 minutes.
Unplug and unwind at our award-winning architectural desert retreat in Zacatitos. Surrounded by ocean and desert mountain views, Casa Leluya offers a true off-grid Baja experience with a refreshing pool, peaceful privacy, and reliable high-speed internet. Quiet and remote, yet just 20 minutes from vibrant San José del Cabo with its galleries, restaurants, and luxury resorts. Pristine Playa del Zacatitos — one of the area’s few swimmable beaches — is only a 10-minute walk away.
The space We’re excited to now offer our brand-new kitchen area as well as a newly added private casita (optionally), featuring an additional bedroom with a queen bed and its own full bathroom — perfect for couples, friends, or anyone wanting a little extra privacy. Beyond that, we’ll let our guests — and their reviews — tell the story. All photos are recent and taken by us, so what you see is exactly what you’ll experience. For additional information, feel free to reach out through our Casa Leluya website or contact our wonderful local property manager, Lisa Gorringe, directly. What guests love most about Casa Leluya is the feeling: peaceful mornings, ocean breezes flowing through the house, stargazing by the fire pit, and the quiet magic of the East Cape. Many guests arrive planning to explore and end up simply slowing down and enjoying the architectural unique house itself. A few words from past guests:
“A great escape from the hustle and bustle… unbelievably close to a beautiful beach.” — Marion
“Such a beautiful happy place… can’t recommend it enough.” — John
“Just as good — if not better — than the photos.” — Andrew
“Definitely found my home on the East Cape.” — Peter
Designed by renowned Canadian architect Javier Campos, Casa Leluya has been featured in Canadian Architect Magazine, Wallpaper Magazine, and New York Magazine. The home was thoughtfully created to blend into the surrounding desert landscape with clean lines, open airflow, and understated luxury. The house is fully solar powered and intentionally designed without air conditioning. Instead, the architecture captures cooling desert breezes that naturally flow throughout the home day and night. You’ll still enjoy all the comforts needed for a relaxing stay: high-speed Wi-Fi, strong cell service, a fully equipped brand-new kitchen, dishwasher, washer, BBQ, ice maker, pool, outdoor shower, books, games, and a gas fire pit for evenings under incredibly star-filled skies. The main house features two queen bedrooms, with additional sleeping options available if needed. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking and gathering around the island after a day at the beach or exploring the East Cape. Playa Zacatitos — one of the few swimmable beaches in the area — is about a 10-minute walk away, as is Zac’s Bar & Grill and convenience store Central Station. Nearby you’ll also find Flora Farms (Michelin-star), Acre(Michelin-star), Monte Cardón, and Tamarindos for memorable meals and cocktails. Zacatitos has its own laid-back charm, including a small café shop and organic farmers markets several times a week. San José del Cabo, with its galleries, restaurants, and famous Thursday Art Walk, is only 20 minutes away. For adventure, world-class surf beaches (Shipwrecks, Nine Palms,...) as well as Cabo Pulmo National Park lies further up the East Cape and offers world-class snorkeling and scuba diving among vibrant coral reefs and marine life in what Jacques Cousteau famously called “the aquarium of the world.” We hope you’ll fall in love with Casa Leluya and the East Cape the same way we did.
Guest access We recommend your own vehicle to be able to explore the area. There is a parking space in front of the house.

Big disappointment because misleading photos of a designer architect's house and in fact a poorly maintained house, old-fashioned, dilapidated, rusty, furniture that makes salvage furniture, umbrellas supposedly provided and found at the back of the garbage room under cobwebs , etc.,nothing to do with a designer architect's house! Too bad because the location is nice

This is a unique place in a chill community and we definitely enjoyed our stay. Be advised that the design of this house is to be wide open...so when its hot outside (in July) its hot inside (no A/C) ... and you hear everything which includes donkey brays in the middle of the night and the neighbor starting up his UTV at 5:00am :) If you're looking for a unique experience, this place should be considered.

Great property with ocean and sunset mountain views, close to the beach and restaurant. Very nice outdoor living space, well equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds. The showers have plenty of hot water and pressure which we have had issues with at other off grid properties. We loved how the sliding glass doors stacked to each other opening up the entire kitchen and sitting area to the outside.

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful, unique home and our kids spent a countless hours in and around the pool. The kitchen/dining room, bedrooms & upper bathrooms are all connected via covered, sheltered walkways and stairs. The glass-enclosed kitchen/dining room can be fully opened up on all sides. We never felt we needed A/C and enjoyed dining and lounging with a nice breeze. The architecture is beautiful and very photogenic, but the place is not fancy — actually a little on the rustic side. We enjoyed the simplicity and would love to stay again.

Casa Leluya is a great destination for fellow eco-conscious travelers visiting the Cabo area. Highlights were the views of the sunset over the mountains, the nearby beach swimming, and dining al fresco on one of the many lovely patio options. We also really appreciated the well-stocked kitchen. Great place to unwind at the end of our trip after exploring Baja. The main living spaces are comfortable thanks to the breezeway design, though the bedrooms do get quite hot in the hotter months despite the fans provided – just something to be prepared for. The hosts provided more detailed information regarding house protocols outside of airbnb before check-in that isn't included on the listing itself.

Our stay at Casa Leyula felt like home away from home. It’s architecturally interesting and the desert surroundings are lovely. The development is guarded with a roped gate operated by security people. The lot was easy to find with the directions provided. Casa Leyula boasted pretty landscaping and we listened to birds sing every morning. While it a possible to see the sky illuminated by the sunrise every morning from your bed, it was so beautiful that it got me up and out onto the master bedroom patio every morning to catch the full vista overlooking Zacatitos. It was a little further from the beach than we had thought, but still very accessible by foot or car. Beach is stunning and hardly any people on it - waves and whales were endless! Breakfast down the street Mondays and thursdays (~10am) was authentic, fresh and delicious. Zacs bar was exactly what you would expect. Colleen (chef) dropped off a few meals for us that were fresh and delicious. All around it was a lovely stay!

Photos don’t do this place justice. It’s a stunning modern property in beautiful surroundings. Well equipped kitchen and bbq. Nearby beaches are incredible. Great place if you want to be away from the resorts with mod cons and lovely natural environment. One tip: make sure you have an off-road vehicle!

Incredible place. The inside outside fee of the house made staying in the desert cozy but like you were really experiencing the surroundings. If we ever go back to Zacatitos we’d want to stay here, felt like home.

Hoop + Barrels The hosts jumped thru all of them to ensure we had a great stay. Be it in the early planning stages, almost 3 years ago, or onsite the day of arrival. The quality of the home goes without saying, spotless and an architectural gem. We’ve been visiting Zacatitos for almost 20 years. If you like your cocktail served to you as you gaze across a manicured lawn, don’t come here. If you like swimming in the ocean first thing in the morning, then picking up some fresh seafood from an actual person who caught it as you walk back on a gravel road to the house past donkeys… Doesn’t get any better! Thanks!
