Hotel El Ganzo

Eye-catching El Ganzo is an adults-only hotel with a distinctly cool vibe, situated in the village of San Jose on Mexico's Baja California peninsula. The chilled atmosphere at El Ganzo continues through the outdoor spaces and the charming marina beyond, making this the perfect spot for a relaxing few days.

Creativity is central to the El Ganzo experience, with the underground recording studio forming the basis for the evening's entertainment. Take in live performances as you dine and enjoy a range of cultural excursions such as art walks around San Jose and talks with the artists in residence. Other standout features include El Ganzo's private beach club where guests can enjoy stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking and canoeing, and the rooftop infinity pool with sushi bar from which stunning views over the sparkling Sea of Cortez can be enjoyed.

Decor is modern with rustic detailing, with natural woods featuring alongside cream walls and splashes of bright colours. Each of the 69 rooms is finished with extra comfortable beds, kitted out with 400 thread count linens, comforters and pillowcases. iPads can be found in every room providing access to the complete directory of the hotel, along with complimentary WiFi throughout to keep you well-connected. The 'Very Large Suites' also come with an outdoor Jacuzzi, private gym and pool table for that extra level of comfort. Bathrooms are all equipped with separate showers and soaking tubs, double basin marble vanities and full-size organic bath products.

When it comes to dining there is plenty of choice, with sustainable farm-to-table cuisine the focus at each of the four restaurants and the hotel's own weekly farmer's market. Choose from Mexican flavours at Ganzo Downstairs, Baja-style fish tacos and burgers at Ganzo de Playa and delicious fresh sushi at the rooftop Gachoo Sushi Bar. El Ganzo also boasts a well-stocked wine cellar with a range of local and imported varietals to perfectly accompany each meal.
