- Perched on a coveted 34 acres overlooking the Sea of Cortez, Solaz Resort offers travelers a restorative, wholly transformative experience in the heart of Baja California Sur. Located midway between the bustling vacation city of Cabo San Lucas and the quaint historic town of San José del Cabo, the 128-room beachfront oasis is The Luxury Collection‘s first hotel on the beautiful Baja California peninsula.
From design to cuisine, immersive adventures to spacious accommodations, Solaz Resort pays tribute to its Baja home, celebrating the magnificent natural landscapes and exquisite cultural marvels that are the region’s signatures. Solaz Resort has collaborated with the very best in locally grown talent, including Mexican architects, artists and chefs, to ensure a truly captivating experience rooted in authenticity. - Design:
- Designed by renowned architectural firm Sordo Madaleno, the property’s cascading terraces blend desert vegetation with quarry stone, granite, marble and wood to create an architectural “sculpture” of breathtaking design amidst desert landscaping. This unique design puts Solaz Resort in a class of its own; however, it’s not just the creative landscaping and architectural beauty that sets the resort apart from other luxury locations.
Celebrating art at every turn, Solaz Resort features original works throughout the property — all masterfully created by famed Mexican artist César Lopez-Negrete, who traveled throughout Baja for years studying the region’s land, water, history and folklore. Negrete’s research inspired him to create thoughtful sculptures and specialty crafted furnishings, fostering a transformative experience for visitors.
With art and architecture playing such a pivotal role in the development and design of Solaz Resort, it made absolute sense to also create a dedicated museum on the property for guests, residents and visitors. El Gabinete “Del Barco” is an indigenous gallery featuring regional artifacts and open spaces to walk while enjoying the breathtaking natural scenery.
Viewed through the eyes of famous Baja California explorer, Miguel del Barco, exhibits include a suspended skeleton of a 13 meter-long grey whale, ancient maps of the Americas based on limited navigation discoveries, 360˚ virtual photography; video interviews with archeologists; replicas of harpoons, knives and other tools from the region. - Standout Venue Features:
