Los Cabos, Mexico
Tucked in the foothills of San Jos� del Cabo, Acre is a lush sanctuary of abundant greenery that features some of the most unique accommodations in Los Cabos: elegant tree houses. Nestled in a canopy of palms, each of the 12 tree houses is accessible via its own foliage-bedecked path.
The tree houses at Acre embrace the environment in both form and function; the decor is thoughtfully crafted by Mexican artisans, and the walls are constructed from the branches of local trees. Designed for those wanting to connect with nature without sacrificing comfort, each is equipped with spacious terraces, outdoor showers, and all the amenities found in any other hotel in Los Cabos. A stay at Acre includes a daily two-course breakfast, morning yoga in the mango orchards, and free rein to enjoy all of the ever-growing grounds Acre has to offer.
