The scenic Mexican town will add new luster to the destination with the 2014 opening of the first Ritz-Carlton Reserve project in the country.

Nestled along 800 feet of oceanfront along Mexico's Baja Peninsula, 124 private, single-story, oceanfront villas will each have breathtaking panoramic views across the Sea of Cortez in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Historic Los Cabos dates its legacy to the 16th century and the Spanish Conquistadors, but today is known as one of the most desirable vacation getaways in North America.

It will provide a complete escape to the unexpected; a private, exclusive leisure experience that blends unique elements of the local culture, history, and heritage with intuitive individual service, exquisite indigenous design, casual ambiance, and respect for the surrounding environment. Design inspiration for each Reserve is taken from the unique environment in which each property is based. From native architectural signatures and innovative local art, to indigenous furniture and motifs inspired by regional tradition, every design element of a Ritz-Carlton Reserve powerfully locates guests in a sense of place.

The hotel will offer one, two and three-bedroom villas, each with private infinity plunge pools, outdoor terraces with intimate fireplaces, outdoor showers and butler service. Additional resort features and amenities within the Puerto Los Cabos mixed-use development include a world-class Spa, Desert Botanical Theme Park, Fisherman's Wharf, a 500-slip marina, two private championship golf courses, designed by Jack Nicklaus & Greg Norman and proximity to the town of San Jose del Cabo and the airport.

In addition, the construction of a five star caliber luxury resort in Mexico will bring jobs to Los Cabos, both during the construction phase and once the resort commences operations. The economic impact of A Ritz-Carlton Reserve provides long term benefits to the area and local citizens, and will help to enhance the reputation of Los Cabos as an exclusive destination for international tourists.
