The hotel is a true tribute to the charm of Mexico’s coastline, featuring whitewashed walls, hand-painted tiles, and vibrant bougainvillea that frame uninterrupted ocean views. Suites range from cozy ocean-view hideaways to spacious residences with private terraces, fully equipped kitchens, and dining areas perfect for gathering with friends. Each space is adorned with artisanal furnishings and locally crafted details that reflect the authentic Mexican spirit.

Beyond the suites, guests can unwind by the sun-drenched pool, in the relaxed beachfront lounge, at the restaurant, on open-air terraces, and in stylish bars, perfect for savoring sunset cocktails or engaging in late-night conversations.

Experiences That Make a Difference

The Birthday Takeover itinerary is designed to surprise at every turn. It begins with La Escalonada, a festive procession inspired by the traditional callejoneadas of Mexico, featuring live music, handcrafted cocktails, and authentic canapés along the hotel’s picturesque walkways.

Next, the creative Paint & Play experience invites guests to design their own reusable water bottles while sipping Baja-inspired cocktails. This fun and sustainable activity doubles as a memorable keepsake. The evening culminates with a private visit to San José del Cabo, where the group explores colorful streets, eclectic art galleries, and the vibrant culinary scene.

A Celebration of Joy and Wellbeing

Day two brings adventure with a private luxury yacht excursion, in partnership with Cabo Adventures, offering snorkeling, sunbathing, and encounters with marine life in the Sea of Cortez. Back on property, the celebration continues with a four-hour sunset pool party featuring a live DJ, craft cocktails, and a two-hour ceviche bar showcasing the region’s freshest catch.
