Westin Los Cabos spa resort reopens after villa conversion
The Westin Los Cabos Resort & Spa on the Baja California Sur peninsula in Mexico has reopened following a radical redevelopment which has seen all 243 guest rooms being converted into 147 beach-facing “villas.”
Designed by architect Javier Sordo Madaleno, the resort will now offer accommodation across a selection of studio and two-bedroom spaces – described as villas.
As a result, the resort has been repositioned to accommodate extended stays, with all villas having been equipped with modern kitchens and balconies, and some also fitted with private spa pools.
The resort’s spa and fitness facilities have also received an upgrade and the wellness zone now occupies an area of 10,000sq ft (929sq m).
Inspired by the artwork from the Otomí people of Central Mexico, Spa Otomí houses a luxurious bathing suite, seven treatment rooms and a scenic relaxation lounge.
According to Brian Povinelli, senior vice president and global brand leader, Westin Hotels & Resorts, the work is part of a strategy to inject new life into the resort.
"With the revival of Los Cabos and new energy in the destination, this is the perfect opportunity to raise the standards for wellbeing in the market," he said.
The resort is part of the group’s plans to expand its presence in the Mexican resort market. In addition to Los Cabos, Westin also has properties in Mexico City, Puerto Vallarta, Guadalajara, Cozumel and Cancún.
The brand is also set to open two new resorts – The Westin Puebla and The Westin Monterrey – in 2018.
