Solaz, a Luxury Collection Resort, Los Cabos

"“Transformative travel” is the buzzword at this contemporary oceanfront resort. The location gives it easy access to adventure expeditions around Baja California, downtown San José del Cabo, and the Marina in Cabo San Lucas. But it’s also a place for an inner journey, starting with sublimely comfortable rooms with plush beds, marble floors, custom furnishings, and barely-there barriers between indoor and outdoor living. Many rooms have secluded patios, views of the Sea of Cortez, private plunge pools, and, that ultimate indulgence, the outdoor shower. There’s an extensive spa, and a 24-hour fitness center. The diverse dining options include Cascabel, a showcase of modern Mexican cuisine with live cooking stations devoted to different regions."
