Meliá Cabo San Lucas relaunches
Sol Meliá and
Mexico-based Grupo Questro are relaunching Meliá Cabo San Lucas as the
new ME Cabo, making it the third property within the ME by Meliá
portfolio of hotels and the second of the new brand’s experience-based
‘personality hotels’ in Mexico. Having completed a multi-million dollar
renovation earlier this year, the property is already the most
fashionable hotel in one of the most captivating destinations in Mexico.
Under the new brand, Sol Meliá also brings its signature Yhi Spa brand to
Cabo San Lucas. As ME Cabo, the hotel becomes part of a select group of
seductive, urban and resort destination hotels under the ME by Meliá
umbrella that will combine an intimate style of warmth and Latin flair
while delivering experiences that are an extension of the guests’
individual life-rhythms.
Nestled on the sands of Playa el Médano the property is situated on the
only swimmable beach in Cabo San Lucas as it’s protected against the
strong currents of Mar de Cortes. Within a short walking distance of
downtown restaurants and shops, ME Cabo is set to captivate travelers who
have a taste for stimulating art, international cuisine, and world music.
Designed for the discerning guest , ME Cabo will fuse innovative design
with local flavors that encourage guests to move seamlessly within the
surroundings, transforming them from their daily routines into an
inspirational existence that is indulgent…energizing…and daring.
Guests will enjoy a balanced stay, where a busy day is complemented by ME
by Meliá‘s signature Yhi Spa - the first in Cabo San Lucas. This marks
the second Yhi Spa to open at a ME property having made its debut at ME
Cancœn last month. Inspired by ancient healing traditions, the 7,036-sqft
boutique spa will include world-class Fitness, Hydrotherapy and
Relaxation Centers. The Fitness Center will feature free-weights,
machines and cardiovascular equipment, a YHI MOVES Studio complete with
an outdoor movement garden and special group Yoga, Tai Chi and Pilates
classes. A Hydrotherapy Ritual Center features indoor/outdoor relaxation
areas (YHI RELAX), thermo-hydrotherapy experiences, a native Temascal
sweat lodge and an outdoor cascade shower, while the Relaxation Center
will offer reflexology paths and a complete selection of signature spa
treatments.
“ME Cabo is one of our most exciting projects to date and we are thrilled
to be bringing the second Yhi Spa to Mexico,” says Guy Hensley, Senior
Vice President of Operations of ME by Meliá. “Cabo San Lucas is a place
of passion and warmth and our new hotel and spa are extensions of the
rich heritage and stunning beauty of this location.”
A lively atmosphere fills the hotel, but the hotels’ 150 rooms and
suites, which have been created by Rebeca Perez of Interarq in
collaboration with architect çlvaro Sans, are pure serenity.
