Get To Know The Ultimate Baja Luxury Resort

Perched on a coveted 34 acres overlooking the Sea of Cortez, the newly opened Solaz, a Luxury Collection Resort, Los Cabos, offers travelers a restorative experience in the heart of Baja California Sur. The resort is located midway between the bustling vacation city of Cabo San Lucas and the quaint historic town of San José del Cabo. The 128-room beachfront oasis is The Luxury Collection’s first hotel on the beautiful Baja California peninsula. Here’s what you need to know.

Sophisticated Accommodations

Each masterfully designed guest room and suite at Solaz, a Luxury Collection Resort, Los Cabos features a private entrance and patio, contemporary furnishings and original art. Further setting the mood, Bluetooth technology offers touchscreen remote control access to the curtains, lighting and music. Unobstructed views of the sea blur the lines between indoors and outdoors. There's a natural flow from each room to its private terrace.

Architectural Marvels

Guests of Solaz will at once notice the striking architecture. The design seamlessly blends the destination’s unique landscape, where the desert meets the sea. Springing from the fertile imagination of renowned Mexican architectural firm Sordo Madaleno, cascading terraces mix desert vegetation with quarry stone, granite, marble and wood.

Mexican Art Immersion

Celebrating art at every turn, Solaz Resort features original works throughout the property. All were created by famed Mexican artist César López-Negrete, who travelled throughout Baja for years. El Gabinete “Del Barco” is the resort’s indigenous gallery, showcasing rare regional artifacts such as a 43-foot-long whale skeleton and a historical map collection.

Authentic Experiences and Adventures

Solaz Resort offers an array of bespoke, exclusive experiences designed to bring guests closer to the soul of Baja. Take a private helicopter trip to explore the rare cave paintings of Baja. Swim alongside whale sharks who can grow up to 33 feet long. Then, learn about the region’s deep culinary heritage during a cooking class. Finally, enjoy a breathtaking night under the desert stars. Can’t decide what to do? No problem. Each room will have a dedicated Artisan butler who will help curate these one-of-a-kind, luxury adventures.

The Flavors of Baja

Culinary offerings at Solaz, a Luxury Collection Resort, Los Cabos are as authentically inspired as the property itself. There are five unique restaurants and lounges designed for visitors with discerning palates.

  • Mako offers al fresco dining  during the day, with salads from local biodynamic farms, and wood-fired flatbreads. By night, the Mako Dinner Grill offers such delicacies as dry-aged steak, local live lobsters and the sea’s freshest fish. Even better, each dish is prepared in-house by Executive Chef Pedro Arceyut and his team.
  • The resort’s all-day restaurant, Cascabel, is a vibrant venue for modern Mexican dining. Highlighting the diversity of Mexican cuisine from region to region at its bustling cooking stations, Cascabel prepares seasonal dishes using locally-sourced, garden-fresh ingredients. Communal seating creates a highly social environment for gathering with friends and family. Finally, local craft and botanical-infused libations give cause for celebration.
  • Those looking for lively libations can enjoy the property’s impressive wine cellar at La Cava, offering a selection of more than 2,500 vintages, many of which are local to the region.
  • At night, Arabica transforms into a hip and decadent spot. The menu offers an array of delicious tapas that reflect the seasonal colors and local flavors of Baja California. Additionally, don't miss the creative cocktails, including cocoa-inspired libations.
  • Even more, Xocolatl, a modern chocolate shop and ice cream boutique, offers organic and indigenous chocolate.

Even better, all of the resort’s restaurant menus have been developed to incorporate the captivating stories of local farmers, fishermen and craftspeople.
