Raffles Hotels & Resorts announces plans to debut its first North American resort, Raffles Estera East Cape Resort & Residences, in Mexico’s Los Cabos region in 2029, in partnership with ONE Development Group.
Raffles Hotels & Resorts has announced its plans to establish its first resort in the Los Cabos region of Mexico. The Raffles Estera East Cape Resort & Residences, developed with ONE Development Group, is expected to open in 2029.
Raffles is expanding its global presence with the opening of this resort. The resort and residences will be situated on a stretch of unspoiled beach in Los Cabos East Cape, which extends from San Jose del Cabo all the way to Los Barriles. Los Cabos International Airport can be reached in about an hour.
Raffles Estera East Cape Resort & Residences will enjoy a unique location in the desert landscape between the Sea of Cortez and the Sierra de la Laguna mountains. The resort should offer unobstructed sea views, calm water, and a swimmable sandy beach. This will make it an ideal place for watersports as well as exploring the rich marine wildlife.
The resort will initially feature 80 rooms, and 46 residences with a brand. Studio Paolo Ferrari is responsible for conceptualizing the interior design of the hotel, while Huber Design is in charge of the residences.
Raffles’ and ONE Development Group’s commitment to responsible growth will be reflected in the resort, which places a strong emphasis on sustainability. The resort’s unique offerings will include a large spa, multiple outdoor pools, beachfront watersports centers, club spaces for teens and kids, and curated retail shops. The resort will also feature seven distinct dining options, including a lobby lounge, signature restaurant, specialty restaurant, pool bar, and gourmet café, along with a signature Raffles Long Bar and Writer’s Bar.
Raffles Estera is the first Raffles hotel in Mexico, and the second one in North America after the successful opening in Boston. ONE Development Group founded in 2009 is credited with developing and designing some of Mexico’s most visionary developments. GFG Securities provided advice during the negotiation of the management contract and secured the debt and equity finance for the development.
