Casa Finisterra Cabo San Lucas
Rise above it all at this glass-walled study in modernism etched into coastal cliffside boulders at Casa Finisterra Cabo San Lucas.
Sleek gas fireplaces flicker above polished concrete floors and mid-century chairs, all with an eye for dramatic panoramas at the Casa Finisterra Cabo San Lucas.
Dip in the lengthy pool that juts across the hillside, sip sunset cocktails in the piano lounge, and retreat to suites with bare rock feature walls.
The property looks out over the Pacific Ocean, and in this case “looks out over” is no euphemism: the architecture stints on nothing, and cuts no corners, so that each window might maximize the view while relenting it to the interiors.
The one word that best fits Casa Finisterra is “elegance”. The aptness of that adjective is evident throughout, but it also extends to details, rooms, and design feats that deserve to be complimented individually.
The pool flows between rocks and down a completely vertical channel, then unexpectedly gives way to the exuberant music of waves on the sandy shore. It is not a large swimming pool, nor in itself spectacular. It is restrained, almost humble in its simplicity, but with an astounding view that is at first kept hidden.
