Hacienda Encantada Resort & Spa

At the tip of the Baja peninsula, set between the restaurant-and-bar scene in Cabo San Lucas and the iconic rock formation Land’s End, Hacienda Encantada offers both a prime location and Mexican interiors that speak to the area’s local charms. The 150 suites are warm and contemporary: floors are covered with terracotta tiles, beds have carved wood headboards, and all rooms have balconies with wrought-iron details that overlook the Sea of Cortés. The five dining options range from La Pergola, a casual poolside restaurant for arrachera (skirt steak) and hamburgers, to the waterfront La Trajinera, where tuna ceviche and duck with mango salsa is served beneath ornate chandeliers. During the day, families congregate around the two swimming pools, while couples and adults find a quieter respite in the holistic spa and Temazcal, an indigenous heated chamber similar to a hammam.
