ROOMS & SUITES: 57

At the end of a continent lies a tranquil Cabo resort retreat. Where the body is healed, the soul is revived, the senses are awakened and the spirit soars to new heights.

A place where sun, sea, sky and earth join as one to form a tropical oasis like no other. A place called Esperanza. Esperanza, an Auberge Resort, unveiled new guestrooms and suites, following a five-month renovation. Showcasing a new look, the hotel features new interiors, enhanced suites and an expanded spa. Guestroom interiors, designed by Dallas-based Wilson & Associates, now feature a Cabo-regional design. Other resort enhancements include the addition of a penthouse with more than 2,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space offering panoramic views of the Sea of Cortez, and seven new spa treatment rooms, including an exclusive couples suite with private VIP access. Designed by SB Architects the newly expanded spa also features a freestanding hairstyling, manicure and pedicure studio.

The 57-room resort now offers 10 new luxury suites. The new one-bedroom penthouse, accessed by private elevator, features a living room and two outdoor terraces, complete with private hot tub and oversized chaise for sunbathing. Amenities include Pratesi Italian linens, a bathroom with an oversized soaking tub and entertainment system with large plasma televisions. A collection of paintings, sculptures, and pottery from the country's leading artists are showcased throughout the suite. All suites include 24-hour butler service. Every casita has bathrooms, pocket doors that transform interiors into indoor-outdoor living space; flat-screen televisions; complimentary high-speed wireless Internet access; deep soaking tubs and showers built for two; crisp Italian linens; and iPod docking stations. Esperanza also creates signature in-room bath amenities made with natural essential oils, organic vegetable oils and pure fruit ingredients.

EXPLORE

Esperanza is located on the Baja Peninsula, four miles outside of the town of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The oceanfront hotel is perched on the bluffs of Punta Ballena ("Whale Point") overlooking two private coves on the majestic Sea of Cortez. The resort is situated a short 10-minute drive from Cabo San Lucas and 30 minutes from the historic colonial town of San Jose del Cabo and San Jose del Cabo International Airport, which services many major U.S. cities.

The Baja Peninsula has long attracted travelers with a passion for adventure, and at Esperanza you'll find it everywhere. Intimate sandy crescent beaches embrace lagoons rich in tropical fish; windsurfing, sea kayaking and five top-ranked golf courses are all nearby, and vibrant Cabo San Lucas is right at your doorstep. Spend days perusing art galleries or shopping for such hand-crafted items as silver, textiles and sculpture, then prepare yourself for a night on the town - Cabo is renowned for parties that last until dawn.
