Luxury beach resorts in Cabo: where you can swim

Only some Cabo luxury resorts have a beach you can swim from, mostly on the calm Sea of Cortez side.

For calm water, look at the bays on the Corridor. Chileno Bay Resort is on Chileno Bay, and Montage Los Cabos is on Santa Maria Bay. You can snorkel from the beach at both. One&Only Palmilla is on Palmilla Beach, which is calm too. In town, Medano Beach is swimmable, and Casa Dorada is on it.

Waldorf Astoria and Nobu are on the Pacific side, where most beaches are too rough for swimming, so plan on the pools. We keep a list of Cabo hotels on a swimmable beach.
