Raffles Hotels & Resorts has announced plans to bring the brand to Mexico’s Los Cabos region. Raffles Estera East Cape Resort & Residences, created in partnership with ONE Development Group, is slated to debut in 2029. The property marks the brand’s expansion in North America (following the successful opening of Raffles Boston in 2023) and its first resort in the region.
The resort and residences are set to occupy a stretch of beachfront in Los Cabos’ East Cape community, which extends from San José del Cabo to Los Barriles. Just an hour’s drive from Los Cabos International Airport, East Cape is a popular destination within the Baja California Sur region due to "its natural beauty and tranquility." Situated in the desert landscape between the Sea of Cortez and the Sierra de la Laguna mountains, Raffles Estera East Cape’s location will offer sea views and a swimmable beach, allowing guests to enjoy water sports and explore the marine life.
Expected to offer 80 rooms and 46 branded residences in its first development phase, Raffles Estera East Cape will be designed by the firm Olson Kundig. The hotel’s interiors will be conceptualized by Studio Paolo Ferrari and the residences by Huber Design.
Raffles Estera East Cape is slated to offer an expansive spa, multiple outdoor pools, a beachfront water sports center, club spaces for both kids and teens, as well as retail offerings. The resort is also expected to have seven culinary offerings, including a lobby lounge, signature restaurant, specialty restaurant, pool bar and gourmet café, besides a signature Raffles Long Bar and Writer’s Bar. A ballroom, in addition to meeting and outdoor event spaces, will provide multiple settings for gatherings and celebrations. In addition to the hotel amenities, residents of Raffles Estera East Cape will also enjoy access to beach and mountain clubs.
