The intimate resort and residences are set to occupy a coveted stretch of unspoiled beachfront in Los Cabos' East Cape community, which extends from San José del Cabo to Los Barriles. Just an hour drive from Los Cabos International Airport, East Cape is a highly sought after destination within the Baja California Sur region due to its pristine natural beauty, authentic charm, and tranquility. Uniquely situated in the desert landscape between the Sea of Cortez and the Sierra de la Laguna mountains, Raffles Estera East Cape's exclusive location is set to offer uninterrupted sea views, calm waters, and a swimmable beach, perfect for watersports and exploration of the ocean's rich marine life. Often referred to as the 'Aquarium of the World," the Sea of Cortez is a UNESCO World Heritage Site globally recognized for its vast biodiversity and natural eco-system.

Set to feature 80 rooms and 46 branded residences in a first development phase, Raffles Estera East Cape will be envisioned by the renowned design firm Olson Kundig, known for seamlessly blending high design with nature. The hotel's interiors will be conceived by Studio Paolo Ferrari, and the residences by Huber Design. Both hotel and residential spaces are expected to reflect the glamorous and inspirational spirit of Raffles as well as the distinct culture and heritage of Baja California Sur. The resort will also reflect Raffles and ONE Development Group's commitment to sustainability, bringing world-class best practices and responsible development to every facet.

For an exceptional leisure experience, Raffles Estera East Cape is slated to offer an expansive spa, multiple outdoor pools, a beachfront watersports center, club spaces for both kids and teens, and curated retail offerings. The resort is also expected to feature seven distinct culinary offerings, including a lobby lounge, signature restaurant, specialty restaurant, pool bar, and gourmet café, as well as a signature Raffles Long Bar and Writer's Bar. A state-of-the-art ballroom, in addition to dedicated meeting and exterior event spaces, will provide the perfect setting for elegant gatherings or milestone celebrations. In addition to the hotel amenities, residents of Raffles Estera East Cape will also enjoy dedicated beach and mountain clubs.

GFG Securities played a key advisory role to ONE Development Group during the management agreement negotiations and has been tasked with securing the debt and equity financing for the development of this landmark project.

Raffles Estera East Cape is Raffles' first property in Mexico and second in North America, joining the successful opening of Raffles Boston.
