Esperanza

Located along Mexico's Baja Peninsula, just a few miles from Cabo San Lucas, is the magnificent Esperanza, with an envious oceanfront location overlooking a pair of private coves on the Sea of Cortez. This Auberge Resorts and Leading Small Hotels of the World member boasts 57 casitas and suites, plus a number of privately-owned villas. Each abode's luxurious interior showcases seaside design, with original art, handcrafted furniture and ample-size terraces with infinity-edge hot tubs. Oversize bathrooms feature deep soaking tubs and cascading showers for tandem bathing. Other in-room amenities include yoga mats and iPod docking stations for a contemporary touch. Indulgent resort treats are equally innovative and include fresh popsicles, fruit skewers, snow cones and aloe cubes - just to name a few.

The Esperanza compound contains four swimming pools, a private beach and access to a nearby championship golf course. Sup at one of four restaurants and lounges including El Restaurante, the resort's signature restaurant. Seemingly carved into the oceanside bluffs, the venue serves a menu of Mediterranean-influenced fare coupled with an extensive wine list and more than 100 tequilas. The spa is a sanctuary - incorporating the elements of water, light, desert and sea - and offers a steam cave, soaking tubs, a couples' room, outdoor showers and a menu of therapeutic treatments. Enlist in one of Esperanza's unique enrichment classes - from wine and tequila tastings to culinary classes and Spanish lessons - and depart the resort knowing more than you thought possible. Everything you want is here for you, and so much more, at Esperanza.
