Cruise lines and pleasure craft have been visiting Ensenada, Baja California for years. Fishermen use the town as a starting point for deep sea fishing excursions, and many Southern Californians make the drive for a weekend getaway. Some of the best hotels in this Pacific coast town sit right on the ocean and offer prime sunset watching opportunities.
This adult-only boutique hotel on the edge of the Pacific Ocean offers seven individually decorated suites filled with natural stone and handcrafted hardwood furnishings. Private balconies overlook the beach. Top of the line is the Yuca Presidential Suite, with every room offering an ocean view. Relax in your personal hot tub and watch the sunset. The Agave Master Deluxe suite offers a recessed stone oversized shower, ocean views from every room and an outdoor fireplace. Enjoy an in-room couples massage or visit the Casa Natalie Spa for a facial or some aromatherapy. Relax in one of the covered cabanas on the beach or go for a swim in the resort's infinity pool. Have a drink or two at the Lucca Beach Lounge or some fusion cuisine at the on-site Lucca restaurant. An onsite concierge can arrange weddings, anniversary celebrations or any other intimate gathering you choose.
