One of the best hip to chic ratio resorts in Baja California is ACRE, a 25-acre organic farm among towering palm and mango trees, near the foothills of the Sierra de la Laguna mountains.
This intimate resort located in San Jose del Cabo offers an award-winning farm-to-table bar and restaurant, plus 14 treehouses for guests to stay overnight.
These adult-only treehouses feature beautiful wood flooring, a king sized bed, feather-free pillows upon request, small bathroom, closet space, and a patio with an outdoor shower. Insect screens and curtains allow privacy when closed, and views and breezes when they are opened.
Checking in and throughout the day, the nearby bar prepares welcoming botanical cocktails, and serves a variety of tequilas and mezcals. The resort even makes and sells bottles of their own spirits for guests to bring home.
At Acre Destilados their small batch mezcals are made with no additives or artificial flavors, just water and agave. On the back label of each bottle is all the information about who made it, what type of agave, how it is processed and the size of the batch.
Chefs prepare a variety of flavorful menu items in a jungle setting. Besides the finest cuts of beef and fresh seafood, they also offer vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes made from ingredients grown in the garden.
The resort's wine cave has a curated collection of Mexican and International wines.
Throughout the day guests can explore the grounds and play Bocce ball, ping-pong, pickle-ball or badminton. There is an area on the farm where guests can visit an array of farm animals including a donkey, goats, roosters and peacocks.
During the day, the pool area is ideal for swimming or lounging in the sun. Massage and other bodywork is available in the poolside treatment room, or on the terrace of your treehouse.
The boutique store offers many items guests may need and souvenier gifts to bring home. Since ACRE isn't right on the beach, the staff is happy to arrange guests to visit El Ganzo Hotel’s private beach club five minutes away. Other organized off-site activities and excursions including surfing and scuba lessons, a round of golf, whale-watching boat trips, and downtown San Jose del Cabo for shopping or their Thursday night art walk.
Acre was born out of the belief that people are in search of a different vacation destination experience to unwind, and disconnect from the real world. Staying at Acre will enhance your mind, body and soul. Now guests can enjoy fractional ownership at one of their new villas, providing the perks of a vacation home without the responsibility of a property that sits unused for a stretch of time.
Since managing a vacation property from a distance can be time-consuming, splitting up each villa, makes owning a luxury private residence with hotel amenities a reality. Villas can be gifted or rented out as a revenue source, as the ACRE team oversees all of the management details for the property. To learn more about ownership, go to ACREVILLAS.
