Designer Ricardo Elias creates two-level Los Cabos spa with Mexican architectural details
The Grand Velas Los Cabos is set to open in Mexico in late 2016, with a two-level, 35,000sq ft (3,252sq m) spa that will include a guided water journey.
Architect Ricardo Elias, principal of Elias and Elias Architects in Guadalajara, has designed the hotel with traditional Mexican architectural details, and also worked on the interior design, along with Ernesto Vela and interior designer Melin Castro.
The spa will include 16 treatment rooms, some with a water view, as well as a bridal suite and six two-level wellness suites.
The central pool features several hydro elements, such as massaging faucets, as well as bubble beds – carved stone chaises with jets set underneath the surface of the water on which guests recline.
The spa also will include a men’s barber shop, beauty salon, spa boutique, Life Fitness centre, Spa Moments poolside and upon arrival, and a rooftop garden for meditation.
The resort itself is the fifth property of the family-owned and operated Velas Resorts, and is a US$150m (€133m, £113m) beachfront development with 306 bedrooms.
