Jasha Spa and Salon
Elements of the local culture are celebrated in the treatments at the Jasha Spa, though none so deeply celebrating an authentic sense of place as the ancient pre-Hispanic Temazcal, a sweat lodge used to promote health and overall well-being. For centuries the Temazcal has been used by Mexican traditional cultures . Led by a Temazcalero (a), a master in the ancient art of well-being, the experience is personalized with carefully selected herbs as guests are guided through a journey of discovery and rebirth. For a more contemporary way to reconnect, the 180 minute Baja Couple’s Retreat includes a deeply nourishing massage combining techniques reminiscent of the waves of the Pacific Coast, a luxurious facial and an aromatic hydrotherapy experience, enriched with local ingredients.
Local Delicacies
Guests at the JW are conveniently located above one of Cabo’s finest restaurants, Café des Artistes, which blends contemporary Mexican flare with French accents. The innovative cuisine can best be enjoyed at the private chef’s table, which allows guests a first-hand look at our master chefs who regale diners with stories of how recipes were developed and how their background inspired the dishes. For a lighter bite, sashimi and tapas can be enjoyed poolside.

Live music, twinkle lights and an atmosphere so removed from real life draw a constant flurry of foodies-in-the-know to the off the beaten path in the foothills of the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains.
