Amanvari - New Hotel in Los Cabos, Mexico

East Cape, Mexico’s Untouched Coastline

Located within the Costa Palmas private estate on Mexico’s East Cape, Amanvari occupies a rare stretch of pristine shoreline where desert landscapes meet the turquoise waters of the Sea of Cortéz. This remote corner of Baja California Sur is defined by empty beaches, wild estuaries, and dramatic mountains that frame the horizon, creating a sense of profound tranquillity and escape from the bustle of Cabo San Lucas — yet remains accessible via Los Cabos International Airport.

Peace, Water, and Sanctuary

Named for the Sanskrit‑derived words “peace” and “water,” Amanvari embodies a philosophy of calm, connection, and contemplative stillness — hallmarks of the Aman brand. Here, the architecture and landscape are inseparable: modest in scale yet majestic in presence, the resort is designed to complement the surrounding wild terrain and offer privacy, serenity, and unobstructed views of the sea and mountains.

Elevated Desert Minimalism

Conceived by Elastic Architects with contributions from Heah & Co., Amanvari’s design is an ode to simplicity and natural elegance. Elevated casitas and pavilions rise gently from the land, positioned to maximize views of the Sea of Cortés and the Sierra de la Laguna mountains. Interiors are enveloped in a palette of sand‑hued materials, white concrete, natural stone, and tropical hardwoods, while floor‑to‑ceiling glass walls and open courtyards blur the line between indoors and outdoors. Each space is grounded with bespoke ceramics and artwork by Mexican artisans, creating an aesthetic that feels both refined and deeply rooted in place.

Intimate Coastal Retreats

Amanvari will feature an intimate collection of 18 resort casitas, each offering panoramic views of the Sea of Cortés, desert, and mountains. These freestanding pavilions are designed to feel like private sanctuaries — spacious yet understated, with expansive glass walls, natural materials, and elevated yet unobtrusive settings that place nature at the forefront of the experience. Private courtyards and terraces frame sea breezes and horizon vistas, ensuring every moment feels like an encounter with the landscape itself.

Baja Inspired Gastronomy

Amanvari’s dining experiences will reflect Baja California’s rich culinary bounty. Multiple venues will offer menus ranging from Italian and Japanese influences to Baja‑centric fare highlighting fresh seafood and seasonal produce sourced from the surrounding organic orchards at Costa Palmas. Whether dining under stars, beside the sea, or within elegant indoor pavilions, guests will discover a culinary expression that celebrates both global refinement and regional authenticity.

Spa, Temazcal & Wellness

Wellness is woven into the fabric of Amanvari. The resort’s Aman Spa will introduce a contemporary interpretation of the traditional temazcal sweat lodge — a spiritual and healing ritual rooted in Mesoamerican culture — alongside signature Spa Houses, an open‑air yoga pavilion, and tranquil spaces for meditation and reflection. This approach mirrors Aman’s broader commitment to longevity, balance, and mindful wellbeing, where treatments are both restorative and deeply connected to the natural setting.

A New Benchmark for Mexican Luxury

Amanvari is poised to become one of Mexico’s most compelling new luxury escapes in 2026 — a place where the raw beauty of Baja California Sur meets the brand’s signature ethos of privacy, simplicity, and serenity. Here, sun‑washed sands, whispering desert winds, and expansive seascapes form the backdrop for a fresh kind of coastal luxury: one defined not by spectacle, but by stillness, connection, and the elemental power of place.
