A renowned team of architects, designers and artisans were assembled to design and build Solaz. Led by Mexico City-based Sordo Madaleno Architects, the team collaborated with landscape architects Gabayet 101paisaje and artist Cesar Lopez Negrete, whose original works will be featured throughout the property. Each room will be designed to complement the lush landscape and breathtaking ocean views, with a natural color palette incorporating wood and granite. All of the guestrooms will boast a spectacular outdoor terrace, many with jacuzzis, as well as exquisite amenities. A two-bedroom Presidential suite will also offer a private swimming pool.

Solaz will be home to three restaurants, including an all-day dining restaurant, a specialty restaurant, and a pool area grill.
