JW Marriott Los Cabos will feature modern temazcal 'sweat lodge'

by Jane Kitchen | 15 Oct 2015

The JW Marriott will open a location in Los Cabos, Mexico next month, with a 21,000sq ft (1,951sq m) Jasha Spa with 12 treatment rooms.

Designed by architect Jim Olson in collaboration with Mexico City-based design firm IDEA Asociados, the 299-room JW Marriott Los Cabos is situated in the Puerto Los Cabos community, amid the desert dunes of Baja California Sur, Mexico.

The spa will include an outdoor garden and patio, vitality pools, an indoor pool and private whirlpools. It will also house a modern version of the traditional temazcal, a Mexican sweat lodge used by ancient Aztecs as a therapeutic instrument to promote healing, health and wellbeing.

“JW Marriott Los Cabos Beach Resort & Spa was designed to complement the beauty of the surrounding environment, blending natural elements with modern details to bring local tradition and culture to life in an unparalleled way,” said general manager Mike van der Kroft.

The hotel’s open-air lobby gives guests views of the sea and expansive infinity pools, and all guest rooms will feature unobstructed ocean views. The resort’s architectural design also provide space to display international works of contemporary art.

The hotel will also include seven restaurants and bars, 37,000sq ft (3,437sq m) of event space, and access to a private marina and golf courses designed by Greg Norman and Jack Nicklaus.

A boutique hotel within the resort, Griffin Club, will have a private beach and pool, movie theatre, and reserved Jasha Spa areas.
