Marriott has officially debuted its newest resort on the Sea of Cortez.

The new Solaz Resort, part of Marriott’s Luxury Collection, has 128 rooms in a beachfront location midway between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo.

“A top resort destination, Los Cabos is rich in culture and acts a gateway for our Global Explorers to connect with the indigenous offerings of Mexico.” said Anthony Ingham, Global Brand Leader, The Luxury Collection. “The Luxury Collection’s guests seek destinations with enriching qualities and there is a magnetic attraction to this Baja oasis. As the seventh Luxury Collection hotel in Mexico, Solaz Resort showcases the brand’s commitment to expanding its footprint and enhancing its offerings for discerning travelers to the destination.”

The strikingly-designed property has five swimming pools, a 10,000-square-foot spa with eight treatment rooms; and a state-of-the-art fitness center, among other amenities.

But it’s the meetings sector that is a big target for Solaz; the resort has the largest meeting space of any hotel property in Los Cabos, with a total of 20,000 square feet of meeting and event space, with capacity for 1,000 guests, the company said.

That includes the 11,000-square-foot Calypso Ocean Front Deck and the 3,400-square-foot Cousteau Ballroom.

Solaz is the Luxury Collection’s first hotel on the Baja California peninsula.
