Aguamiel Spa
The Spa
The most decorated spa in Los Cabos —
rooted in indigenous Mexican healing.
Aguamiel — the sweet sap of the agave plant — gives its name to Esperanza's spa and defines its philosophy: treatments should come from the land. The Aguamiel Spa holds the Forbes Five-Star rating, placing it among the top spas in all of Latin America, and it earns that designation through a genuinely distinctive treatment menu rather than just elegant surroundings.
The treatment list draws on indigenous curandera (healing) traditions, local Baja botanicals, volcanic clay, raw honey, desert aloe, and handcrafted plant blends. The signature temazcal ceremony is led by trained healers and is among the most authentic in Los Cabos. Outside guests are accepted for treatments — pool and beach access remains exclusive to hotel guests.
What makes the Aguamiel Spa the best in Los Cabos?
The Forbes Five-Star Aguamiel Spa at Esperanza Auberge earns its rating through a treatment philosophy rooted in indigenous Mexican healing traditions and locally sourced Baja botanicals — combined with the intimate service ethos of the Auberge collection.
Treatments
What's on the menu at Aguamiel
Aguamiel Honey & Aloe Ritual
The namesake treatment — a full-body ritual using raw agave honey and Baja aloe blended with handcrafted botanical oils. Deeply hydrating and designed around the healing properties of plants native to the Baja Peninsula. The hotel's most requested treatment.
Temazcal Ceremony
A traditional Mexican sweat lodge ceremony led by a trained curandero (healer). Volcanic stones, medicinal herbs, and guided breathwork in a domed adobe structure — equal parts physical detox and spiritual ritual. One of the most distinctive experiences in Los Cabos. Book well in advance.
Baja Clay Wrap
Volcanic clay sourced from Baja California Sur applied as a full-body wrap — drawing minerals from the earth and absorbing the heat of the desert. Paired with a scalp treatment and followed by a warm rinse and botanical oil finish.
Side-by-Side Ocean Ritual
A couples suite treatment with ocean-facing relaxation space, synchronized massage, and a take-home botanical kit. Frequently requested for honeymoons and anniversaries at Esperanza — one of the more thoughtfully designed couples spa experiences on the Corridor.
Vitamin C Brightening Facial
A medical-grade brightening facial using plant-derived Vitamin C and local cactus extract — designed for skin that's been exposed to Baja sun. The Aguamiel estheticians are trained to assess sun damage on arrival and customize the treatment accordingly.
Thermal Journey Circuit
A guided hydrotherapy sequence — steam room, cold plunge, warm mineral pools, and dry sauna — before any booked treatment. Available for treatment guests as a pre-service ritual to prepare the body for deeper absorption.
