Adults-only art hotel on the Sea of Cortez with private swimmable beach
Private Beach Club & Pools
Hotel El Ganzo operates La Playita, the only swimmable beach in San José del Cabo, accessible via a 2-minute boat ride across the marina. The rooftop infinity pool offers views of the Sea of Cortez and the marina, with a hot tub and bar service. A second quiet pool provides a more secluded lounging area, and both pools are stocked with sun loungers and umbrellas.
Art & Cultural Experiences
The hotel was originally founded in 2012 as an artist residency and recording studio, and this spirit continues with rotating artist interventions throughout the property. Guests can attend live music performances by the firepits, Wednesday night flamenco shows, and Friday night concerts. A private recording studio in the basement is available for tours, and temporary art galleries are displayed on-site.
Dining
Three on-site restaurants serve Mexican and Mediterranean cuisine using locally sourced ingredients, with a focus on innovative dishes. The beach club menu features fresh seafood like fish ceviche, while the rooftop bar offers signature cocktails and local beers. Breakfast options include granola bowls and avocado toast, and the hotel can accommodate special dietary requests.
Spa & Wellness
The spa provides body treatments, facials, massages, and hydrotherapy facilities including a steam room, sauna, and hot tub. A fitness center is available, and daily yoga classes are held on the rooftop. Spa/wellness packages and couples massage treatments are offered, with access to the spa lounge and relaxation area.
Rooms & Suites
All 69 rooms face the water, with contemporary design and ocean views from private terraces. Beds are fitted with Rivolta Carmignani linens, and some suites include a jacuzzi or terrace. Each room is individually decorated by a different artist, and complimentary beverages are restocked daily.
