Esperanza Resort Cabo San Lucas

Overlooking the Sea of Cortez in Los Cabos, Esperanza, Auberge Resorts Collection, offers a 5-Star oceanfront resort experience in an incomparable natural setting. Luxury guest rooms featuring private terraces and spacious, private villas welcome guests.

Waves crash along the rocks, sending salty spray into air warmed by brilliant sunshine. This centuries-old rhythm helped shape Cabo’s Punta Ballena coastline, named for its resemblance to a whale’s tail. You’ll feel at harmony with the vivid sensations of Baja California—and with the Esperanza family.

Experience an array of spectacular dishes delivered with artful presentation and earnest passion for culinary excellence. Our executive chef skillfully designs menus for each of the resort’s six restaurants including the newly reimagined Cocina del Mar, set on a rocky promontory surrounded by crashing waves.

When you enter the spa, you find yourself in a lush desert oasis. Treatments harness the healing powers of local plants. It’s good for the soul to let tension melt away in our award-winning spa, and it’s good for the body to combine such rejuvenating treatments with core-strengthening workouts in our fitness center or out or on the beach, inhaling that fresh sea air.

From whale watching in the gentle waters of the Sea of Cortez to horseback riding through a deep desert canyon, Baja California is a world of contrasts that beckons to be explored.
