On East Cape swimmable beachfront in Costa Palmas, framed by the Sierra de la Laguna mountains.
“Rooms stay simple: earthy tones, expansive glass panels, and furnishings that leave the Sea of Cortez views to do the work.”
Rooms
Warm wood, textured stone, and floor-to-ceiling glass frame the water, with private terraces offering deep soaking tubs and ground-floor plunge pools.
“Its modern, minimalist design blends seamlessly with the scenery, featuring clean lines, earthy tones and expansive glass panels that usher in natural light.”
Wellness
The Oasis Spa features open-air treatment suites and thermal hydrotherapy plunge pools, alongside an outdoor lap pool and full-size sports courts.
“Arriving at Four Seasons Costa Palmas feels like driving toward a kasbah in Morocco—miles of stark desert stretch out on either side before the landscape suddenly opens to an oasis…”
Eat & drink
Dine on fresh seafood at estiatorio Milos, open-fire cooking in Limon’s citrus grove, or a nine-course tasting at the twelve-seat garden table Zest.
The neighborhood
Tucked along the quiet East Cape, the grounds sit moments from Cabo Pulmo marine park, framed by the rugged Sierra de la Laguna mountains.

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.
