Sometimes you see something that just takes your breath away. The new JW Marriott Hotel in Los Cabos, Mexico is one of those places. Please excuse us while we pick our jaws up off the floor.

You can find this little slice of heaven within the dunes of the pristine coast of the Baja peninsula, right where the desert meets the Pacific Ocean. The resort boasts a whopping 299 guest rooms and suites, all with their own unobstructed ocean views. It’s nice and easy to see yourself planted next to that gorgeous outdoor pool, lounging on a recliner chair and watching the waves crash in, yes?

Though the hotel is pretty modern, it doesn’t shy away from its Mexican location – there’s hints of local culture and history across the beachfront resort. It’s almost like it’s been perfectly framed to suit its environment – wherever you go throughout the hotel you get a window to outside, like a perfectly-framed picture of beauty.

If you’re looking to bid farewell to some of your less wholesome toxins while away, JW Marriott boasts a modern version of a temezcal – a traditional Mexican sweat lodge that was used by the Aztecs for healing and health therapy.

After your deep-pore cleanse, you’ll be feeling suitably more relaxed, so now’s the time to head on over to the ultra-exclusive Griffin Club. This boutique mini-hotel within the resort includes its own private beach and pool, private spa areas, a movie theatre as well as your very own butler and chef. You’ll feel like royalty in no time.
