Each casita features a heated private pool, a terrace, and floor-to-ceiling windows that offer dramatic views of the Sea of Cortés and the Sierra de la Laguna mountains. Guests enjoy access to the Aman Spa, a contemporary temazcal ceremony, an open-air yoga pavilion, and dining across five venues including the Japanese restaurant Sesui, Italian concept Arva, and Mexican open-fire dining at Luma.
