What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
With its polished concrete floors, its rolling barn-style doors, its glass-walled shower on full view of the bed, and its airy, loft-style layout, it looks more like something you’d expect in downtown Manhattan.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The working fishermen's wharf of La Playita sits right outside, and historic San José del Cabo is a quick drive away.
The rooms
Loft-like bedrooms frame wide marina views through floor-to-ceiling glass, featuring glass showers and custom art left by resident creators.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A glass-walled hot tub perches beside the rooftop infinity pool, overlooking the marina slips and open water.
The spa
Gym and yoga
Cardio machines face the marina through floor-to-ceiling glass, and yoga classes gather under lawn canopies.
The Restaurant
The open-air marina terrace serves contemporary Mexican plates and Baja seafood, curated by chef José Luis Hinostroza.
At the table
Long wooden tables sit beneath palapas on the sand, serving fresh aguachiles and octopus al pastor tostadas.
How it began
The name translates to the goose, inspired by the long, stark-white profile of the modernist building.
