Sensei at Zadún, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve
Best for: personalized treatments from a private guide.
Luxury wellness brand Sensei opened its first location outside the US in partnership with Zadún, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, perched on a bluff overlooking the Sea of Cortez in Puerto Los Cabos. The spa offers an itinerary focused on the Guided Wellness Experience that pairs you with an expert Sensei Guide to help tailor a stay around your goals – from fitness to sleep to mindset training.
You will be hard-pressed to find a more dramatic spa entrance. Fire pits surround an overwater path enshrouded with foliage. Inside, a massive tropical pool setting awaits along with waterfalls and hydrotherapy. Try an invigorating cacao scrub, then nibble on gourmet chocolate truffles as you soak in a coconut milk-infused bath, followed by a warm oil massage. Pure bliss.

The spa at Park Hyatt Cabo del Sol
Best for: a couples massage.
Park Hyatt Cabo del Sol is the first outpost from the brand in Mexico, located in a gated community development next to the high-end Ánima Village and the new Soho House (coming in summer 2026). The palatial grounds feel more like a museum with limestone, rich woods, and marble, while embracing the vast desert flora, broken up by pools and stylish restaurants.
The brand-new spa is a holistic oasis with a lap pool surrounded by clusters of cacti planters. The couples treatment room is a standout with LEC massage beds and private hot-cold plunge pools. Soothe is a hot-stone massage that quiets the mind for sleep with tailored aromatherapy. The Sunrise Ritual, a 120-minute full body experience, will awaken the senses at the break of dawn.

The Spa at Las Ventanas al Paraíso, A Rosewood Resort
Best for: twilight ceremonies.
Home to 84 stylish luxury accommodations, each with its own butler, this resort is one of the original brands that put Cabo on the map for celebrity pampering. Enjoy beachside cabanas with private plunge pools, and the Michelin-recognised Arbol coastal cuisine beneath the stars. The spa offers a rustic and authentic outdoor Solarium where guests can rest before or after a treatment.
The twilight ceremony is an energy purifying and sound healing ritual performed by a shaman. Candles are burning and crystal sound bowls set the tone. Sage smoke, prayers, and a large eagle feather are used to drive negative energy out of the body, replaced by positive energy and balance, followed by meditation. Pure copal incense is the stone used in the ashes that gives off a very unique aroma.

Spa Montage Los Cabos
Best for: a mezcal massage.
This chic property can be found in that well-traveled corridor that connects the towns of Cabo San Lucas to San José del Cabo in the Twin Dolphin master community.

If you really love mezcal and massages, this will be your happy place. The spa offers a 90-minute ‘mezcal renewal’ that uses essential oils mixed with the ‘nectar of the Gods’. In Oaxaca, locals believe the mezcal drink possesses curative powers and can relieve stress, so do take a shot of premium Mezcal Clase Azul after the treatment.
