The sun-drenched serenity of the Baja peninsula meets sleek Japanese design at Esencia Wellness Spa, the tranquil retreat housed within the newly opened Nobu Hotel Los Cabos.
The 13-room sanctuary’s style takes advantage of Los Cabos’ abundant sunshine with plenty of large windows and a minimalist feel featuring light woods and white fabrics. An indoor/outdoor yoga area allows for alfresco stretching, and the hydrotherapy garden lets you soak up some rays while luxuriating in a cabana-covered Jacuzzi.
Inside, you’ll find plenty of Zen in the form of Asian-inspired therapies utilizing luxe NaturaBissé products. After a hydrating facial or muscle-melting massage, be sure to linger over a cup of tea or infused water in the open-air relaxation lounge — an extra dose of vitamin D is just the way to cap off your Mexican spa day.Our Inspector's Highlights
