Resort of the Month

Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Holistic Retreat & Spa

Simplicity and taste are design elements that seem so basic, but are actually so hard to achieve. Thus when a property like Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Holistic Retreat and Spa achieves the perfect balance between understated luxury and the organic symmetry between the manmade and the natural, it's no small accomplishment. Those harmonies are an integral theme of the resort, because their mission is the promotion of wellness and relaxation for their guests. Central to that promotion is the heralded Armonia Spa, a modern holistic spa and fitness facility. Services include a state-of-the-art exercise studio, six treatment rooms with waterfall windows, a VIP couples chamber, an indoor jacuzzi, steam, sauna, cold plunge, and Swiss shower room, and an assortment of treatments performed by on-site trained, certified therapists and personalized to individual needs and tastes.

The "Retreat" part of the resort's name is telling too: this is truly a seaside sanctuary, just off a rugged two-mile stretch of beautiful Pacific oceanfront. The 154 guestrooms are exquisitely furnished with plush feather beds and cushiony pillows, with Zen-inspired elements of design and amenity. Sensational ocean views add their own soothing sights and sounds to the general ambience of healing and calm. Of course, if you want to spirit yourself away to some desert exploration, or high-seas sojourn, or just some city time in nearby Cabo, that's a simple move to make, since all those excursions are close at hand.

Even closer are Pacifica's on-site restaurant and cafe, the outdoor yoga studio, the two pools, one with its own tea house, and the full-service conference and meeting facilities. Here, business can easily mix with pleasure—and the resort's relaxed atmosphere makes any business the better. Contemplation is all the easier within the complex's thirteen acres of Mexican desert-themed gardens, which hold a wide variety of cacti, while a pebbled Japanese garden offers a sanctuary for thoughtful repose.

Whether you want an individualized treatment regimen to achieve specific therapeutic or cosmetic results, or you simply want to relax, surrounded by serene beauty, come to Pueblo Bonito Pacifica.
