Vacation Like a Celebrity in Los Cabos

Vacation Like a Celebrity in Los Cabos
Los Cabos has made a remarkable recovery and is continuing to come back stronger than ever before. More specifically, April marks an important milestone for the destination's luxury market segment as Esperanza, An Auberge Resort reopened on April 15 with a soft opening; and One&Only Palmilla reopened on April 20. Like many of the destination's resorts, these properties took extra time to complete renovations that would further improve the guest experience upon reopening; in fact, One&Only Palmilla invested more than $140 million dollars to complete renovations. In January 2015, The Resort at Pedregal, formerly known as Capella Pedregal, opened its doors to guests and the world-renowned Las Ventanas al Paraiso's much anticipated reopening is slated for early June.

"The luxury market segment is a very important one for Los Cabos," said Luis Palacios, Commercial Director of the Los Cabos Tourism Board, "Flights received through the private airport are more than any other destination in Mexico and we are pleased to have so many great luxury hotels and offerings for travelers to indulge in."

Unofficially known as the destination's "luxury collection," each of following properties provide luxury travelers with a unique and unmatched experience, which makes them standout from the crowd.

The Resort at Pedregal Accessible only via the private Dos Mares tunnel, The Resort at Pedregal provides guests the ultimate sense of exclusivity. Built upon a 24-acre site, the resort is comprised of 66 rooms - each complete with a private plunge pool - and 21 residential villas. The property recently debuted its Champagne Terrace, complementing the resort's award-winning dinning and beverage program. The Champagne Terrace is cliff-side at the entrance of El Farallon restaurant overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and offers guests the opportunity to enjoy a variety of great cheese pairings. Additionally, the resort's Luna y Mar Spa drastically enhanced offerings by putting a large focus on health, wellness and signature treatments indigenous to Mexico.

Esperanza, An Auberge Resort Slated to officially reopen in June, the Resort celebrated a soft opening last week, April 15; welcoming guests to a revitalized ocean-front property which boasts luxury and sophistication unlike ever before. The 57-room property offers an intimate setting perfect for a romantic escape. From completely renovated guest rooms and an enhanced Cocina del Mar Restaurant and Lounge Bar, to a refreshed spa and pool areas, the property is the perfect escape no matter the occasion.

One&Only Palmilla First built in 1956 as a 15-room hideaway accessible only by yacht or private plane, the resort was visited by some of Hollywood's greatest including John Wayne, Bing Crosby, and Lucille Ball. As the area's infrastructure grew, the resort grew with it and when the property opened as One&Only Palmilla in 2004, John Travolta celebrated his 50th birthday there. Now as the resort reopened on April 20, it has invested more than $140 million on a complete renovation and will continue to attract celebrities and others looking for a luxury hideaway. For the foodies, the resort's new SEARED restaurant by Michelin-starred chef, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, will provide the finest selection of steaks and wine for guests to enjoy inside or al fresco on the beautiful terrace with ocean views.

Las Ventanas al Paraiso, A Rosewood Resort (pictured at top) In June, San Jose del Cabo's "Windows to Paradise" will reopen and begin welcoming guests back to the legendary resort. In order to continue to provide an unmatched level of service, all the resort's staff underwent intensive training while the resort was closed for renovations. For guests who want "royal treatment" Las Ventanas al Paraiso's Villa Butlers are equipped to make breakfast for guests, play with children while parents enjoy a night out, take guests on fishing trips, and much more including communicating in one of three languages - French, English or Spanish. Additionally, the resort plans to launch a new program, which will feature five-destination themed experiences twice per year available for guests. Beginning in June the resort will also offer unique butler service for pets allowing guests' four-legged family members to also get pampered like royalty.

Looking into the future, the destination's luxury segment is poised for growth with plans to welcome additional luxury properties including The Cape, A Thompson Hotel (June 2015); JW Marriott (Fall 2015); Park Hyatt Los Cabos (2016); VieVage Los Cabos, An Auberge Resort (Summer 2016); Mar Adentro by Encanto (2016); Solaz (2017) and Ritz Carlton Reserve (TBD).

Los Cabos, located at the tip of the 1,000-mile long Baja Peninsula, is home to award-winning hotels, resorts, championship golf courses, rejuvenating spas, world-class sport fishing, and was the host city for the G20 Summit of global leaders in 2012. With a unique landscape of dramatic desert and white sand beaches, Los Cabos is an exotic escape within easy reach of most U.S. and Canadian cities.
