Real Example: 5-Night Cabo Villa for 6 Guests (High Season)
Let’s break it down realistically.
Villa Rental
$3,200 per night × 5 nights = $16,000
Taxes & Fees (~20%)
≈ $3,200
Chef (3 dinners)
≈ $1,200 service + $900 groceries
Airport Transfers
≈ $300
Estimated Total:
~$21,600
Split between 6 guests:
≈ $3,600 per person
Large groups often reduce per-person costs significantly -especially in villas designed for families and celebrations
For a fully private luxury experience.
That’s often comparable — or less — than high-end resort suites.
Ultra-Luxury Scenario (10 Guests, Beachfront Estate)
$7,500 per night × 5 nights = $37,500
With taxes, chef, and services:
Total trip ≈ $45,000–$50,000
Split 10 ways:
≈ $4,500–$5,000 per person
