The next-generation, tech-enabled, experiential hospitality brand, AvantStay, announces the expansion of its impressive short-term rental portfolio with its first-ever international location. Partnering with luxury villa rental company Blue Desert Cabo (Blue Desert), the brand will deliver a collection of 50 luxury villas, along with customized concierge services through its booking site as "Blue Desert Cabo by AvantStay." The villas range from two-bedrooms and larger, starting at $1,500 per night.

"Our partnership with Blue Desert Cabo guarantees a best-in-class getaway and is a strong addition to our portfolio as our first international venture," stated AvantStay's founder and CEO Sean Breuner. "Cabo San Lucas as a destination seamlessly aligns with our brand DNA and serves as an example that we are listening, supporting and customizing our platform to meet the needs of our loyal customer base. Cabo is one of the most frequented places in Mexico for the West and Midwest (where a majority of our portfolio is), as we will continue to provide our guests with the AvantStay experience wherever they want to be."

AvantStay's foray into Mexico comes as the brand plans to launch properties in more than 60 cities in 2021 and increase its portfolio by 4x while delivering several new business divisions that will meaningfully elevate the guest experience. AvantStay saw a 1,752% increase in its bookings from 2017 to 2020 and expects its Cabo San Lucas assets will contribute to its continued growth.

"Today's traveler has transformed into a digital nomad, prioritizing wellness, nature and privacy – all of which are cornerstones of AvantStay's short-term rental offerings, especially at our Blue Desert Cabo luxury villas," continues Breuner. "As remote work flexibility prevails and travel restrictions put in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic continue to loosen, we anticipate a comeback for corporate retreats and a boom in international travel, especially in warmer, outdoor-centric destinations like Cabo San Lucas."

For those planning to embark on this "dunes of the desert meets waves of the ocean" escape, Blue Desert Cabo by AvantStay will curate a customized itinerary to include authentic travel experiences, from a bespoke foodie tour with a private mezcal tasting to a wellness retreat inclusive of beachside yoga. The collection of homes is perched on the Baja California peninsula, with several private villas overlooking the Sea of Cortez featuring infinity pools, outdoor bars, patios, firepits, oceanfront views, and private beachside entrances. The Blue Desert Cabo by AvantStay team can also arrange for unique packages to include welcome amenities and air transportation.

"We couldn't be more thrilled to be a part of AvantStay's expansion into Mexico," said Sean McClenahan, co-founder and president of Blue Desert Cabo. "We're very happy to be working with a partner that has the same standards and brand ideals, providing first-class services just like Blue Desert Cabo currently offers to guests."

COVID-19 testing is currently required to return to the U.S. from Mexico. As such, guests of Blue Desert Cabo by AvantStay will have access to at-home COVID-19 testing through its concierge services.
