The Most Luxurious Resorts to Stay at in Cabo
For When You Want to Check Out and Tune In
I’ll be the first to admit—resorts aren’t usually my go-to when booking a trip. I love connecting clients to the local rhythm of a place, from morning markets and hole-in-the-wall taquerías to breezy beach bars where the DJ doubles as your new best friend. Resorts can sometimes feel like bubbles that float above all that texture and culture.
But sometimes, a bubble is exactly what you need.
Whether it’s a romantic escape, a girls’ trip, or just a long-overdue break from burnout, there are certain places where checking into a five-star sanctuary is the whole point. And when my clients want to be pampered from the moment they land, these are the five resorts in Cabo I’d book for them—always with extra perks like spa credits, complimentary breakfast, and room upgrades when available.
1. Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal
Carved into the cliffs and accessed by a private tunnel, this resort sets the tone for drama—in the best way. Every room comes with a private plunge pool, ocean views, and a sense of seclusion that feels tailor-made for honeymooners and high-flyers alike.
Where to dine:
El Farallon is the showstopper: a cliffside seafood restaurant where you choose your catch of the day, and waves crash just below your table.
Don Manuel’s offers elevated Mexican cuisine in a hacienda-style setting.
Things to do:
Sip cocktails at the infinity pool with views over the Pacific.
Book a Moon Phase spa ritual inspired by lunar energy.
Or simply stay in and order room service—you won't regret it.
2. Esperanza – Auberge Resorts Collection
This is the only private beach resort in Los Cabos, and it leans into the barefoot luxury vibe with that signature Auberge touch—think handcrafted details, dreamy landscaping, and warm, intuitive service.
Where to dine:
Cocina del Mar, perched right over the rocks, is the culinary crown jewel. Seafood is a must, but the cocktails steal the show.
La Palapa offers casual, breezy lunches by the pool.
Things to do:
Book a private dinner under the stars.
Try a surf lesson in the morning, followed by a tequila tasting in the afternoon.
The spa’s desert-inspired treatments are divine (and come with a private soaking tub).
3. Las Ventanas al Paraíso, A Rosewood Resort
Las Ventanas feels like it was built for romance. It’s all soft candlelight, whitewashed adobe, and attention to detail—rose petal turndown service, anyone?
Where to dine:
Arbol serves coastal Asian cuisine with an open-air ambiance.
Sea Grill is the place for daytime ceviche and grilled lobster with your toes in the sand.
Things to do:
The Spa at Las Ventanas is world-renowned—try the Four Elements Ritual.
Lounge in your infinity pool suite, or book a cinema night under the stars.
Ask your butler to arrange a custom beach picnic or sunset sail.
4. Nobu Hotel Los Cabos
Minimalist, modern, and seriously chic, Nobu is where you go to see and be seen. The interiors are a dreamy blend of Japanese and Mexican aesthetics, and yes, the sushi is everything you'd expect from the Nobu name.
Where to dine:
Nobu Restaurant is the main event—reserve early, and don’t skip the miso black cod.
Malibu Farm offers fresh, organic plates that feel good after a day in the sun.
Things to do:
Hit the adults-only infinity pool or take a yoga class by the sea.
Schedule a wellness day with a signature Nobu Zen facial and detox juice.
At night, the vibe shifts: think DJ sets, cocktails, and glamorous lounging.
5. Montage Los Cabos
Set on one of Cabo’s rare swimmable beaches, Montage is the ultimate mix of refined luxury and relaxed beach vibes. It’s family-friendly without compromising style, and the service is polished but never stuffy.
Where to dine:
Mezcal is the signature fine-dining restaurant with modern Mexican cuisine and over 100 agave spirits.
Marea is your beachfront go-to for wood-fired everything.
Things to do:
Snorkel straight off the beach at Santa Maria Bay.
Join a cooking class or mezcal tasting.
The spa is a destination in itself, with hydrotherapy circuits and private garden suites.
Whether you’re planning a milestone celebration or just want to unplug in style, these resorts are worth the splurge—and with the right booking, they come with a few extra luxuries you won’t find online.
