Minimalist pavilion casita at Amanvari overlooking the Sea of Cortez in Baja California

On November 12, 2026, Wallpaper* — Travel offered an inside look at Amanvari, Aman’s highly anticipated Baja California outpost tucked along the tranquil waters of the Sea of Cortez. Rising from the pristine East Cape landscape, the boutique sanctuary features just 18 pavilion-style casitas framed by dramatic desert foothills, organic architecture, and panoramic coastal vistas.

According to reporting from Wallpaper* — Travel, the property leans heavily into nature-led design, offsetting Baja's rugged topography with organic timber, stone pavilions, and minimalist open-air layouts. In addition to a signature Aman Spa focused on restorative treatments, the hideaway incorporates destination dining designed to highlight regional marine bounty and Baja's farm-to-table traditions.

Our take: Amanvari’s arrival solidifies the East Cape’s standing as the discerning counterweight to the congested hotel zones of Los Cabos. By capping the footprint at merely 18 keys, Aman protects the quiet solitude that made Baja’s wilder shores iconic in the first place, ensuring privacy remains the ultimate luxury.
