Esperanza, Auberge Resorts Collection

Cliffside luxury in Cabo San Lucas
VERIFIED LUXURY

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live like a celebrity while on vacation, Cabo San Lucas’ Esperanza, Auberge Resorts Collection should give you a taste of the good life.

Returning guests appreciate the property’s signature features like the multi-tiered oceanfront pool and the only private beach in Los Cabos. The recently renovated palapa-topped spa offers an extensive menu of cutting-edge treatments alongside experiences deeply rooted in philosophies of the traditional medicine wheel. The gorgeous tiered cliffside Cocina del Mar restaurant is a Cabo classic.

Perched on the hillside of Punta Ballena, just 15 minutes from downtown Cabo San Lucas, this 57-room hotel has hosted countless stars (Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Aniston) and luxury seekers alike.

Our Inspector's Highlights
  • You’ll no sooner have selected the ideal chair at the azure-blue, multi-tiered pool before a staffer sets up your towels and brings you citrus-infused water. From there, your every need is just a wave away, including gratis foot and neck massages.
  • A short stroll from the main check-in area, the Cabo San Lucas hotel’s spa blends seamlessly with the indoor/outdoor vibe of the resort with a palapa-topped welcome structure and koi pond.
  • Another way to revitalize? Join one of the free classes (yoga, TRX, Beach Bootcamp) or shop the spa’s well-stocked boutique with stylish athleisure wear and take-home products in the resort’s signature scent, an irresistible Baja lime.
  • You’ll enjoy stunning ocean views from almost everywhere within the hotel—from your bright and airy room to infinity-edge pool and even at the signature cliffside restaurant.
Things to Know
  • The Sea of Cortez’s shores are rocky and the waves unpredictable, so Esperanza’s private beach is more suited for walking or lounging (in a private palapa-topped cabana, of course) than for swimming.
  • Expect indulgent spa services that are locally inspired, including a massage collection that pays homage to the ancestral wisdom of Mexico’s indigenous communities and their belief in the therapeutic power of touch, seeking to balance the four foundational elements: air, earth, water and fire.
  • When dining at Cocina del Mar, request a table as close to the ocean’s edge as possible and bring a wrap — you might just get sprayed by a passing wave.
  • Take the shuttle over to sister property Chileno Bay and enjoy dinner at Comal, the resort’s fine-dining restaurant perched over the ocean, or YAYA, Chileno Bay’s cozy space with the open-hearth kitchen.
  • Three pickleball courts and one tennis court offer ample opportunities to stay active and have some competitive fun.
The Rooms
  • Inspired by the rocky cliffs and rich blue ocean, the guest rooms have gray-washed wood floors, light driftwood accents and hand-woven palapa roofs, with original Mexican art and hand-tooled leather furnishings to lend pops of color and a rich local feel.
  • The rooms are spacious, and all offer private balconies with plunge pools or hammocks, as well as spectacular ocean views. 
  • The resort itself is perched on a hillside overlooking a private beach, so each room, no matter the category, feels intimate and private.
  • You can’t go wrong with the Beachfront Junior suites, which offer the best views of the Sea of Cortez, as well as 1,200 square feet of indoor/outdoor living space and infinity-edge hot tubs.
The Restaurants
  • Perched on top of cliffs, the luxury hotel’s signature Cocina del Mar is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful settings you can imagine.
  • The seafood-driven dishes, which highlight the local bounty with continental and Mexican influence, are served in a tasting menu format (and you’ll be the better for it).
  • Three other restaurants — Las Estrellas serves a Mediterranean-infused menu, La Terraza Americana prepares lighter American fare and La Palapa dishes out casual Mexican eats — round out the property’s culinary options.
