Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set along the desert corridor between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, overlooking the crashing surf of the Sea of Cortez.
The rooms
Every suite faces the ocean across private terraces, with deep soaking tubs and personal plunge pools in higher categories.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Three cascading oceanfront pools step down toward the beach, lined with curved timber decks and cushioned daybeds.
The hydrotherapy circuit
A guided seven-step water journey leads through stone waterfall pools, sensory showers, an ice room, and chromotherapy steam.
The gym and spa
Floor-to-ceiling windows line the ocean-facing gym, and treatment rooms host Mesoamerican-inspired restorative body rituals.
At the table
Dining spans Michelin-starred tasting menus at Cocina de Autor to oceanfront seafood, paired with dusk cocktails at Bar Autor.
How it began
The sail-shaped architectural dividers pay homage to the founding family name, with vela translating directly to sail in Spanish.
