Aurelle Curator's Verdict

Amanvari is the definitive sanctuary for the 'Amanjunkie' seeking a raw, elemental alternative to the high-energy pulse of Cabo San Lucas. While those craving nightlife and a bustling social scene should skip it, nature-driven purists will find paradise in its minimalist stilts-over-water architecture. The one signature experience worth flying for is a sunrise meditation at the edge of the Sea of Cortez followed by a traditional Temazcal wellness ritual.
