East Cape, Baja California Sur, Mexico
Amanvari: Aman’s new Baja sanctuary where desert, mountains and the Sea of Cortés converge.
Amanvari sets itself apart through its secluded coastal setting, panoramic sea vistas, and an unhurried beachfront rhythm that contrasts sharply with standard resort density. Originally opened in 2026 and designed by Heah & Co., the property avoids formulaic hotel design in favor of authentic materials, curated art, and generous spatial proportions that immediately establish a distinctive sense of place.
Accommodations span 50 casitas and villas, configured with thoughtful acoustic soundproofing, bespoke residential furnishings, and lavish marble bathrooms featuring deep soaking tubs, walk-in rain showers, and premium bath amenities. Standard categories offer generous floor plans suited for extended stays, while signature suites and villas boast panoramic private terraces, dedicated dressing salons, and personalized butler attention.
The culinary and wellness program operates at a genuine destination standard. A refined culinary program celebrating regional produce alongside international fine dining classics. On-site dining is anchored by a flagship restaurant celebrating seasonal ingredients, complemented by an all-day terrace and an atmospheric cocktail salon popular with discerning hotel guests and local tastemakers. The dedicated spa sanctuary provides thermal hydrotherapy suites, steam rooms, and tailored holistic treatments designed for deep restoration.
In terms of traveler fit, Amanvari is best suited for discerning couples, executive travelers, and families who prioritize polished, intuitive hospitality and an exceptional setting. The main operational caveat noted by travel critics and guest reviews is that guests encounter high peak-season demand requiring advance booking for signature dining and private wellness appointments. Rates reflect its ultra-luxury positioning, typically starting around $2,000/night.
Logistically, the property is located approximately accessible with direct private transfers from the nearest international gateway. Confirm private hotel transfers prior to arrival for effortless luggage handling and check-in coordination. High season aligns with peak regional weather patterns and holiday travel periods. We advise reserving signature dining tables and private wellness appointments well ahead of check-in to secure optimal timings.

Good to Know

Editor's Note
The unusual Aman opening that makes a genuinely new corner of Baja feel like the point, rather than an excuse for another Cabo resort.
