COSTA PALMA AMANVARI

Aman Will Launch New Hotel, Amanvari, in Los Cabos - AFAR

"Set to open in 2020 on the East Cape of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula about 45 minutes from Los Cabos International Airport within the Costa Palmas development, this boutique Aman resort and private-residence collection sits on the shores of the Sea of Cortez with views of the Sierra de la Laguna. Designed by Heah & Co with a “habitat as art” aesthetic and a low-impact approach, the property will feature 20 contemporary bilevel pavilions—each perched on stilts with bedrooms, living spaces, wrap-around decks and cantilevered private pools above, and indoor/outdoor ground-floor lounges with hammocks and fire pits that meld into surrounding estuaries and sand dunes. On-site amenities include three food-and-beverage outlets, a hot tub–ringed infinity pool, a breezy library and a spa pavilion, while the broader Costa Palmas master plan adds a marina, golf course, organic farms and nearly two miles of swimmable white-sand beach. Programming will emphasize the wild, remote setting and local culture, offering visits to ranches, tours with resident biologists, fishing expeditions and the chance to dive with migrating whales, all delivered with tailored service and a premium on privacy. The resort’s name is derived from Sanskrit words meaning “peace” and “water.”" - Sandra Ramani
