Chileno Bay Resort & Residences, Auberge Collection
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
Tourist Corridor
Vibe
A 450-foot three-tiered infinity pool cascades toward a rare swimmable coral cove, where chilled mezcal drinks arrive at your water lounger.
“Baja cove refuge”
In-room welcome cocktails during arrival, dedicated villa hosts, and cocktail orders dispatched right to your pool lounger.
Hydrothermal bath house circuits, outdoor reflexology pools, salt inhalation chambers, and fitness studios equipped with underwater spin bikes.
Swimmable coral reef beach with complimentary watercraft, a 450-foot tiered pool, private cinema, and Tom Fazio golf access.
On the protected sands of Chileno Bay along the corridor, nine miles outside Cabo San Lucas.
“The resort’s visual style is surprisingly sophisticated, a contemporary minimalist look that lets the setting — and the substantial comforts of the rooms and villas — take center stage.”
Rooms
Rooms feature private terraces with outdoor showers and deep soaking tubs, while multi-bedroom villas add private plunge pools and gourmet kitchens.
“the 92 room-and-villa resort is equal parts L.A. cool and Palm Springs chic — bleached woods and minimalist landscaping blend easily into the desert surroundings”
Wellness
The Bath House hydrothermal circuit pairs hot and cold plunges with an outdoor reflexology walking pool and a Himalayan salt chamber.
“The architecture, with its sandstone brick and white stucco, blends beautifully into the desert setting: modern, but not at all out of place.”
Eat & drink
Oceanfront COMAL serves wood-fired Mexican fare and fresh ceviche, while TnT mixes craft agave cocktails right along the sand.
“the resort makes use of its prime location with a water sports center that offers glass-bottomed kayaks, snorkel gear outfitted with GoPro cameras, and more.”
The neighborhood
Tucked along the Tourist Corridor, the resort sits on calm cove waters midway between downtown Cabo San Lucas and historic San José.
The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
