Like something rising out of a futuristic utopian society, Mar Adentro in Mexico’s San José del Cabo cuts a striking figure against the Sea of Cortez for its stark, white volumes that nestle a massive infinity pool between. Designed by Mexican architect Miguel Ángel Aragonés, the luxury property combines a five-star, 143-suite hotel with 30 private apartments and nine estates. Featuring a private beach club, luxury shopping plaza, five restaurants, a spa, and art gallery, once you enter you might not ever want to leave. Check out scenes from the pristine development above, and take a tour of a similarly well-appointed Durham, North Carolina hotel here.
