Imperial Suite GRAND VELAS LOS CABOS

On the 10th floor of the hotel, the two-bedroom Imperial Suite is a peaceful oasis. The modern coastal decor stands out in Los Cabos, where traditional Mexican design elements usually abound—although here, the views are the star of the show. Floor-to-ceiling glass pocket doors in the corner suite showcase endless ocean vistas and a bird’s-eye perspective of the coastline. Even the terrace has a glass railing, enabling you to enjoy the views from the plunge pool or bed. The suite’s Celestron telescope can be used to spot humpback whales in season, or to search for constellations at night. The king-size bed in the master suite overlooks the infinity pool and has direct access to the terrace. Both bedrooms have luxurious marble bathrooms with two-person Jacuzzis and two-person showers with full-body shower systems. Fly by private jet to Ensenada for a private tour and tastings at the region’s premier wineries guided by Pedro Poncelis Jr, one of Mexico’s best sommeliers. Stop for a magical meal in the middle of a vineyard and take the opportunity to create your own vintage.
