Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle portfolio, announced that it will welcome a new resort symbolising a Mexican paradise, Kimpton Mas Olas Resort & Spa, located on Mexico’s Baja Sur peninsula. The resort will welcome guests with cultural richness, locally inspired culinary and bar concepts, wellness focused spa offerings and panoramic views of the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains and Pacific Ocean. It is set to open on April 1, 2024 in the charming coastal town of Todos Santos.
Operated by Highgate, Kimpton Mas Olas is perched on the pristine coastline just north of Los Cabos. Named for the ever-present waves on the resort’s west-facing beach and their representation of the ebb and flow of life as well as the sense of freedom and escape they represent, Kimpton Mas Olas seeks to serve as a haven for both connection and personal exploration. The resort boasts 103 tranquil guest rooms, including 12 oceanfront villas, spread across 27 buildings representing pueblo life in Mexico. Guest rooms are thoughtfully designed in a contemporary and approachable manner, punctuated by clean lines and organic details of woven palo de arco walls, handmade tiles and light fixtures. Each room is warm and welcoming with many featuring outdoor showers, plunge pools and private roof decks; while each of the villas features its own plunge pool and fire pit – all of which blend into the natural landscape. These architectural characteristics are carried throughout the resort, from its peaceful outdoor pools to its inspiring dining spaces, and are complemented by stunning views of surrounding mountain, ocean and desert landscapes.
“We are delighted with the opening of Kimpton Mas Olas as we continue to elevate and build upon the growth and momentum for Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants in Mexico," said Paul Adan, Regional SVP of Development.
"This exciting addition marks our third Kimpton in the market and the second to open so far this year, following Kimpton Virgilio in Mexico City. Kimpton Mas Olas will provide travellers with an inviting escape to immerse in luxurious amenities and inspired cuisine while embarking on locally inspired adventures in beautiful Todos Santos and beyond.”
At the heart of Kimpton Mas Olas’ design is its expansive gardens and natural surroundings. The Mexican paradise is immersed in nature with nine interconnected gardens providing a path from the desert to the waves. With this close connection to nature, sustainability is at the core of the resort’s ethos and guest experience. Demonstrating its commitment to being eco-friendly, Kimpton Mas Olas has zero plastics on-site, uses dark sky lighting to prevent light pollution and features a water recycling system. It also exclusively uses electric carts and bikes as transport across the resort. Additionally, the resort pays tribute to the local community by decorating and furnishing the property predominantly with work crafted by skilled local artisans.
“The power of travel is the ability for people to experience something new that enhances their life – and Kimpton Mas Olas delivers exactly that. We are honoured to welcome this resort into our distinctive luxury and lifestyle portfolio and look forward to welcoming guests with one-of-a-kind hospitality,” said Arash Azarbarzin, Chief Executive Officer at Highgate.
