History
Banyan Tree Cabo Marqués is the current branded luxury resort on the cliffs above Puerto Marqués Bay in Acapulco. The official brand site describes it as recently renovated and positions it as a 45-villa retreat with private pools and dramatic Pacific views. The resort’s signature dining currently centers on Saffron, Banyan Tree’s Thai flagship, alongside Cello for all-day international and Italian dining.
The setting
The property sits in Acapulco’s Diamond Zone at Cabo Marqués, on cliff tops overlooking the Pacific and the rocky coastline of Puerto Marqués Bay. Its setting is notable for the elevated oceanfront vantage point rather than a historic building footprint. 22 km from landmark La Quebrada cliff diving area.
