Aman’s Amanvari Is Finally Bookable — What to Know Before You Go

For years, Aman’s Mexico debut has been a rumor with a construction site attached. Now it’s real: Amanvari is taking reservations.

That matters because Costa Palmas on Baja’s East Cape is one of the few places in the Cabo region that still feels remote — desert, dunes, and a swimmable stretch of Sea of Cortez coastline — and Aman is doubling down on privacy with a tiny key count.

If you’re considering it (or just trying to understand why people are talking about it), here’s the clean, verified version of what’s actually known right now — plus how to think about alternatives on the same coastline.

TL;DR: Amanvari (Aman’s first resort in Mexico) is now accepting reservations for stays beginning August 1, 2026. It’s located within the Costa Palmas development on Baja California’s East Cape (about an hour’s drive from Los Cabos International Airport). The resort is intentionally small, with 18 casita-style accommodations and a strong wellness + dining focus.

Where is Amanvari — and what is Costa Palmas?

Amanvari sits on Baja California Sur’s East Cape, inside Costa Palmas — a private, low-density development that’s already home to the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Los Cabos at Costa Palmas.

The practical takeaway: you still fly into Los Cabos International Airport (SJD), and then you do a roughly hour-long drive to get to the East Cape. Once you’re there, the point is to stay put — this is not a “go into Cabo every night” kind of trip.

What’s confirmed about the resort (so far)

Here’s what’s been consistently reported and is most useful for planning:

  • Reservations: stays beginning August 1, 2026.
  • Scale: 18 accommodations described as casitas/pavilions.
  • Space: most casitas are reported around 82 sq m (833 sq ft).
  • Privacy: casitas are reported to include private heated pools.
  • Positioning: this is an ultra-high-end Baja beach play, priced like one.

Who should book Amanvari (and who shouldn’t)

Book it if: you want an “easy mode” beach escape with Aman-level service, you care more about privacy than nightlife, and you like the idea of doing a week where the only agenda is water, wellness, and dinners you don’t have to think about.

Skip it if: you want a social scene, you’re planning to roam restaurants across Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, or you don’t like the idea of paying Aman pricing for a resort that’s designed to be intentionally quiet.

What to compare it to on the same coastline

If Amanvari is sold out (or the rates give you pause), your most logical apples-to-apples comparison is Four Seasons Resort and Residences Los Cabos at Costa Palmas — same general geography, same “stay inside the bubble” feel, different brand personality.

Beyond that, you can look at the broader Cabo luxury market — but the further west you go, the more it turns into a different trip: more development, more dining options, more scene.

What you actually want to know

Is Amanvari open yet?

It’s bookable for stays starting August 1, 2026.

How do you get there?

Fly into SJD, then plan for about an hour by car to reach the East Cape/Costa Palmas area.

Is this a family resort or a couples resort?

Aman hasn’t positioned it as adults-only. With casitas and private pools, it can work for either — but the overall vibe reads as privacy-first rather than kid-centric.
