Hotel El Ganzo avoids the ordinary. Spa treatments and gourmet cuisine rejuvenate the body, while music and art feed the soul.

With just 70 guest rooms and a keen eye toward style and aesthetics, Hotel El Ganzo is a refuge and a mind-opening departure from cookie-cutter hotels. Custom furnishings and original design elements set the visual tone against the natural backdrop of the beautiful Sea of Cortez.

Our goal is to show you a different way to experience Los Cabos. Discover the San Jose del Cabo hotel that’s changing the destination at Hotel El Ganzo.

2. Esperanza, Auberge Resorts Collection
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

From $850 per night
ETIC Hotels Green Score: 9.5/10

A 57-room hotel on Cabo’s rocky coast, warmed by brilliant sunshine and sprayed with a salty mist every time a wave comes crashing along the rocks. There is a centuries-old rhythm to this Auberge Resort…the kind of place you come for a constant soundtrack of crashing waves, and rooms that promise the most stellar views.

Sitting at the very tip of the Baja Peninsula, the Esperanza looks out over the Sea of Cortez and Punta Ballena, and inside, the decor of its ocean-facing villas and dramatic restaurants mirror the seashell hues you see outside: light wood-beamed ceilings, locally woven rugs, beds covered in crisp white linens and rattan furniture. Most rooms come with private verandas, but for the absolute best ocean views, the hotel’s tiered pool and cliffside Cocina del Mar restaurant can’t be beat. The hotel is also home to 3 other restaurants, and although not set on a dramatic promontory like Cocina del Mar, they are just as gorgeous, including Las Estrellas set in a garden, and La Palapa with its open-air kitchen.

3. The Cape – a Thompson Hotel
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

From $350 per night
ETIC Hotels Green Score: 9.5/10

Intuitively interwoven within the natural landscape surrounding the Monuments Beach point break, The Cape is a place to revel in the heat of the moment. The clean, contemporary lines of visionary Mexico City architect Javier Sanchez converge in a relaxed 1960s Southern California-meets-Baja aesthetic at this luxury boutique hotel.

Two pools and a duo of outdoor spa cabanas seemingly spring from the natural rock formations, while the only rooftop lounge in Cabo San Lucas floats six stories above. Set to the pulse of an urban vibe by night, the warm designs by Arquitectura de Interiores’ Marisabel Gómez Vázquez ultimately draw you in, revealing a reflection of Los Cabos like no other.

4. One&Only Palmilla
San José del Cabo, Mexico

From $850 per night
ETIC Hotels Green Score: 9.5/10

5. Grand Velas Los Cabos Luxury All Inclusive

You’ll be pampered in exceptionally spacious ocean view suites with private terraces that organically blend the indoors with the outdoors, some with personal plunge pools and wellness options. Spend your day lounging or swimming at our multi tiered infinity pools – all with a view of the Sea of Cortez, walking on golden sand beaches at water’s edge, or indulgence in one of our exclusive over the top experiences of land and sea. And then there’s Se Spa where even before getting a Mexican inspired treatment that combines the latest in technology with local natural ingredients, you’ll enjoy a much acclaimed seven step water journey.
