Banyan Tree Cabo Marques

In the sheltered harbor of Acapulco's Punta Diamante, an Asian outpost has sprung up. Funny thing is, it's not the first time this has happened. In the 16th century, "Le Nao de China" used Acapulco as the main port for the Americas, trading fine fabrics, spices, and precious metals.

Today, however, Asia Has brought something far more precious, yet managed to meld it with local culture better than ever before. Banyan Tree Cabo Marqués sits on a bluff overlooking the waters of the Pacific, filled with modern Asian furnishings, and made up exclusively of villas featuring their very own infinity pools.

At the spa, Thai and Chinese practices flow freely from the hands of accomplished practitioners, loosening your mind and body to match the local vibe.

Dining is varied here, ranging from fresh seafood, barbeque, Thai, and most interestingly, La Nao, bearing the name of the aforementioned Chinese ship, and serving an enticing hybrid of Latin and Asian cuisine.
