CABO’S NEW
CACHET Exclusive experiences and active adventures redefine Baja California’s luxury resorts. By Jeanne Cooper
Apart from sport fishing, Los Cabos traditionally stood for sybaritic pleasures: sun, sand, sipping margaritas. Add in a round of golf, a massage or perhaps a sunset cruise with seasonal whale watching, and most would have considered their itinerary fully booked. But in the wake of 2014’s Hurricane Odile, which devastated structures in Cabo San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo and the upscale “Corridor” between them, a more experiential and cultural travel ethos has emerged. The now-cresting wave of new lodgings—nearly 4,500 hotel rooms in 2017 and 2018, plus hundreds of condo villas and custom homes—has also created a surge of interest in active and art-driven experiences along Baja California’s southern tip.
In Puerto Los Cabos, an elite enclave east of San Jose del Cabo, a new bike path winds around the spacious marina, where a recent installation of 15 sculptures and 50 signs honors the life and work of surrealist artist Leonora Carrington. At the artsy, eco-friendly Hotel El Ganzo (winter rates from $420, elganzo.com), I rode my loaner beach cruiser past Carrington’s artwork to the 12-acre Wirikuta Botanical Cactus Garden, which boasts a million succulents and cacti from around the world, a bougainvillea labyrinth and a palm grove dotted with massive sculptures by some of Mexico’s most renowned living artists. Cyclists can also enjoy a new 2 ½-mile path from San Jose del Cabo’s hotel zone to its recently repaved main plaza, continued…

...continued now a pedestrian zone. On another day, I harvested cherry tomatoes under a brilliant blue sky at Los Tamarindos (lostamarindos.mx), an organic farm close to San Jose del Cabo that offers walking tours, cooking classes and a restaurant in its 19th-century stone farmhouse. Dining on grilled vegetables that I’d helped to prepare, along with fresh seafood roasted in a woodburning oven, was almost as restorative as a sip from the owner’s private-label mezcal. Another night, I let a guest chef do all the work for an art-inspired dinner in gallery owner Patricia Mendoza’s eponymous new venue (artcabo. com/patricia-mendoza) in San Jose del Cabo, following the historic town’s weekly Thursday evening Art Walk. Performing arts patrons will want to schedule a visit around the annual Gala de Danza in March; founded in 2013, the spectacular open-air showcase at Viceroy Los Cabos attracts internationally recognized dancers, musicians and vocalists, including opera star Denyce Graves in 2018. One of Mexico’s indigenous cultures informs the new, bespoke temazcal experiences at the spa of One&Only Palmilla (private sessions from $540, group sessions from $130 per person, oneandonlyresorts.com). I sat in my swimsuit inside the dark, womblike temazcal—a domed adobe sweat lodge in a private courtyard— while shaman Raul Retana applied herbs and water to heated volcanic rocks in between ritual chants. I emerged from the spiritual sauna feeling renewed—and up for more adventures, which developers as well as hoteliers are happy to provide. Auberge Resorts’ Chileno Bay Resort & Residences (chilenobay.aubergeresorts.com), which opened in 2017 on a virtually private,
swimmable beach on the Corridor, made an easy jumping-off point for me to kayak, snorkel and hike to a secluded cove. This fall marks the debut of its second phase, including 28 new villas (four bedrooms, from $2.7 million) and 12 hotel rooms (from $800). Two swimmable beaches on Santa Maria Bay are the main draw for Montage’s first international resort of Montage Los Cabos, which debuted in May, but miles of hiking and biking trails beckon across the highway, where an 18-hole Fred Couples Signature Golf Course opens this fall. The resort features two- and three-bedroom condo-style Residences (from $2.7 million) as well as 122 stylish hotel rooms and suites (from $725, montagehotels.com). It’s part of the masterplanned Twin Dolphin community along with the 260-acre Maravilla Los Cabos resort, where residents of custom homes and villas (from $3 million, maravillaloscabos.com) have access to Montage facilities and a two-story climbing wall, an 18-hole putting course and the 18-hole Twin Dolphin Golf Club, among other perks. Off-resort attractions are also key to enticing buyers. The private golf club resort Querencia (condos from $1.5 million, custom homes $8 million, qcabo.com), which recently unveiled a new beach and surf club, also added exclusive excursions such as an all-day jeep tour to remote surf breaks. Visiting the East Cape’s fledgling Costa Palmas resort an hour northeast (flats and residences from $2 million, costapalmas.com), I hiked with one of its guides to a waterfall swimming hole in nearby Sierra de la Laguna Biosphere Reserve and swam with sea lions at Cabo Pulmo National Marine Park. Sun, sand and sipping margaritas still entered into the picture, but the new experiences made me even readier to return.

Sleek new suites on a private beach in Baja California Montage hotels opens a stylish new outpost in this gilded getaway for West Coasters AUGUST 26 2018 / MARIA SHOLLENBARGER
A deluxe room at Montage Los Cabos in Baja California, with sweeping views over Santa Maria Bay It’s all happening in Baja California, where interesting developments continue apace, from Todos Santos in the west to glittering Costa Palmas on the peninsula’s eastern flank (where ownership of one of the multimillion-dollar Four Seasons Residences gets you optional membership at Costa Palmas’ ultra-exclusive Beach Club). Meanwhile, in the stay-and-play epicentre of Baja action, Los Cabos, the Montage Los Cabos (montagehotels.com; from $595) has opened its doors inside the grand old Twin Dolphin development (part of Cabo’s illustrious history as a gilded getaway for West Coasters since the 1950s). There are all the requisite Montage bells and whistles, familiar to fans of the Beverly Hills and Laguna Beach locations, plus an alluring USP: one of the peninsula’s best swimming and snorkelling beaches, now private, just past the edge of your suite’s patio.

LOS CABOS, SO LUXE BY ROSEMARY MCCLURE >>> LOS CABOS, Mexico — World-class sport fishing put the southern tip of Baja California on the map for U.S. tourists
nearly 50 years ago. Now five-star resorts are keeping it there. ¶ Los Cabos, an umbrella term for the region’s cities and tourist developments, has evolved from fishermen’s paradise to vacation focal point for celebs and the ultra-rich. The appeal? It’s a two-hour plane ride from L.A., and you can speak English, stay in American-style resorts and pay for souvenirs in U.S. dollars. ¶ The last time I visited the area, more than a decade ago, there was a lot of cactus and dirt and not much else between Cabo San Lucas, on the Pacific Ocean, and San José del Cabo, about 20 miles away on the Gulf of California. Now 10 miles of that coastline have filled with hotels and services. ¶ I spent five days in February getting acquainted with the luxury hotels that opened over the last year and those due to open soon. Some are architecturally beautiful (Viceroy Los Cabos), some have impeccable service (Montage Los Cabos), and some offer tranquillity (Solaz Los Cabos). ¶ Here’s a closer look at eight Baja newcomers:

Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos
Garza Blanca Resort & Spa
Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos, to open this summer, is part of the new Costa Palmas community on the East Cape of the Gulf of California, an isolated region known for its scenery. The 1,000-acre development, about 35 minutes north of San José del Cabo, includes multimillion-dollar homes and an Aman resort, which is still under construction. There will also be a marina capable of holding private yachts up to 200 feet. From $645 per night.
This spacious, all-inclusive resort midway between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo has had a soft opening, with a grand opening scheduled for May. Guests can grab special rates in the meantime as the hotel adds the finishing touches. From $290 a night for two, including meals and activities.

Looking for a good time? Try this all-inclusive Palace resort, which specializes in fun, with lots of pool games and a giant spa. Think of it as a cruise ship on land. It opened in September and is midway between Cabo and San José del Cabo. Spring rates from $800 per night for two. including meals and activities.
One of Orange County’s favorite luxury resort brands last year launched its first international hotel here on a beautiful bay that once was home to the Hotel Twin Dolphin. It’s one of the area’s few resorts with a swimmable beach. The style is more Scottsdale, Ariz., than Baja, Mexico, but if you like cushy digs, exclusivity and tranquil surroundings, this place is for you. From $825 per night.

Nobu Hotel Los Cabos
Riu Palace Baja California
If you like Nobu’s fusion restaurants, you may want to try this 200-room beachfront hotel and golf course. It’s the first Mexican property from the team of Robert De Niro and chef Nobu Matsuhisa. It combines Japanese minimalism with Mexican wood, stone and marble. The resort hopes to open Monday with special rates of $490.75 per night, including breakfast.
The Riu chain runs more than 100 hotels in 19 countries, but it isn’t well known in the U.S. This newcomer opened in December and joins two other Riu hotels along the coast of Los Cabos. It’s all-inclusive, adults only and is higher end than its brethren but lower end than other hotels here that have opened recently. All-inclusive rates from $147 per night, per person, including meals and activities. Take care when booking; the two older Rius with similar names are next door.

Solaz, Luxury Collection
Solaz Los Cabos
Viceroy Los Cabos
Some U.S. residents go to Mexico to stay in American-style hotels. Others go to learn about Mexico. Solaz is chock-full of Mexican art, style and striking desert landscaping. The 128-room beachfront hotel is midway between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo and is the Luxury Collection’s first hotel on the Baja Peninsula. Each room is designed with local Huanacaxtle wood and bamboo-textured marble, custom furnishings and an original wall sculpture by Cesar López Negrete. From $402 a night.
This stunning hotel opened in May and has been wowing visitors ever since. Architect Miguel Angel Aragonés wanted to “bring the ocean inside” and used tranquil pools to create mirrors. Water surrounds the 192-room hotel, wrapping around its white buildings that are connected by elevated walkways. It’s a blissful experience for people who like to shoot pictures or videos. If you visit, don’t miss the Nest, its lounge, above. From $425 a night.

Amanyara Turks & Caicos Some places are so healing that they create a transportive experience, one that enables guests to attain an almost profound level of well-being. Set on a nature preserve, jet skis and motor boats are not allowed at the peaceful Amanyara. But there is plenty to do: a Pilates studio, outdoor yoga sala, tennis, Nature Discovery Center, yoga on the beach, wellness programs led by a range of experts, a movie theater, snorkeling, diving, divine food and drink and a gorgeous, Asian-inspired spa, where you can literally float away, with the Caribbean Stars Lullaby, a warm-water floatation treatment. Relax with a nourishing jade, Himalayan salt and green clay scrub and a wrap ritual with luscious Frangipani and Cupuaçu butter. Or, sit outside the secluded villa, staring at the sparkling infinity pool as it trickles into a larger pool that feels more like a lake. aman.com/resorts/amanyara

Montage Los Cabos Mexico The first Montage to open outside the U.S., Montage Los Cabos is one of the newest hotels in the area. A few things set it apart right away. Many beaches in Cabo border water that is too rough for swimming, with currents and riptides so fierce they will pull you out to sea. But here, the cozy cove rings one of the few beaches that is swimmable—and where you can snorkel. The food is delicious at both restaurants on property. And, of course, there is the magnificent 40,000-squarefoot spa, which is really more of a holistic retreat. Aerial yoga, meditation and breathwork classes are coming, along with a stargazing program and full-moon ceremony. A central question that drives the team: “How can we share local culture and tradition?” Very well, we would say. montagehotels.com/loscabos montagehotels.com/spamontage/
