An Oasis of Serenity on the East Cape
Tucked away on the secluded shores of the Baja Peninsula’s East Cape, Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas is a sanctuary where the desert meets the sea in perfect harmony. This is not the Cabo of bustling nightlife and crowded beaches—it is a retreat of rare, unspoiled beauty, where guests awaken to the rhythmic lull of waves and the sun-drenched tranquility of the Sea of Cortez. Here, barefoot luxury takes on a new meaning, offering an experience that is equal parts refined and untamed.
A Destination of Wellness and Renewal
Designed by Guerin Glass Architects, the resort’s aesthetic is an elegant study in contrasts—modern yet warm, minimalist yet profoundly connected to its natural surroundings. Expanses of floor-to-ceiling glass invite the Baja sunlight to spill effortlessly into sleek, open spaces, while raw stone, smooth wood, and artisanal metalwork echo the rugged beauty of the desert landscape.
Every one of the 141 accommodations—from the serene guest rooms to the sprawling beachfront suites—offers uninterrupted ocean views, a private terrace, and a design philosophy that dissolves the boundaries between indoors and out. Whether soaking in a freestanding tub while gazing at the horizon or stepping directly onto soft golden sands from a villa’s plunge pool, the resort’s architecture ensures that the sea is always within reach.
At the heart of the resort lies the Oasis Spa, an expansive 15,855-square-foot retreat where wellness is both a ritual and a revelation. The hydrotherapy circuit invites guests to journey through soothing waterfalls and serene thermal pools, while stand-alone treatment suites—some with their own plunge pools—offer deeply immersive relaxation experiences. Signature therapies use Tata Harper’s botanical skincare and Natura Bissé’s cutting-edge treatments, ensuring each spa ritual is a fusion of nature and science.
For those seeking mindfulness in motion, daily yoga, sound healing, and guided meditation sessions are offered in open-air pavilions, where the scent of salt air mingles with the rustling of palm fronds.
A Gastronomic Voyage Across Continents
Dining at Four Seasons Los Cabos at Costa Palmas is an invitation to embark on a culinary journey as expansive as the ocean that stretches before it.
At Estiatorio Milos, renowned for its Mediterranean seafood, guests savor impeccably fresh fish, flown in daily from Greece or caught by local fishermen just hours before being served. The dining experience is one of understated elegance—where olive oil, sea salt, and the simplest ingredients are elevated to art.
For a taste of Baja’s bold flavors, Casa de Brasa delivers modern brasserie-style dishes infused with coastal Mexican influences, while El Puesto celebrates the delicate flavors of ceviches, tiraditos, and crudos, expertly crafted from the day’s catch.
And as the sun sinks into the horizon, the resort’s private rooftop lounge becomes an ethereal space for sipping rare mezcals and expertly mixed craft cocktails under a canopy of stars.
Adventure, Exploration, and the “Aquarium of the World”
For those drawn to the call of adventure, Four Seasons Los Cabos at Costa Palmas serves as the gateway to some of the world’s most extraordinary marine experiences. Just a short boat ride from the resort, Cabo Pulmo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Marine Site, beckons with its 20,000-year-old coral reef, home to over 200 marine species.
Here, guests slip into the crystalline waters to swim among dazzling schools of jackfish, glide alongside sea turtles, and, if the season is right, encounter the majestic grace of humpback whales or hammerhead sharks. Whether through snorkeling, scuba diving, or a private yacht excursion from the resort’s exclusive marina, the wonders of the Sea of Cortez are never far away.
On land, ATV excursions, horseback riding, and guided hikes through the Baja desert unveil the raw, untamed beauty of the region, while the Robert Trent Jones II-designed golf course offers a championship-level experience framed by dunes, mountains, and endless ocean views.
