Luxury Resorts in Los Cabos for 2026: The New Shortlist We Would Book
Luxury resorts in Los Cabos for 2026, from adults-only all-inclusives to cliffside boutique hotels, with starting rates, guest scores and who each one suits.
Isabella· Cabo Editorial Team3 min read
Every year someone asks us which luxury resorts in Los Cabos are new and worth it. The honest answer is that the names that matter change slowly, and the marketing changes fast. So this is not a list of ribbon cuttings. It is our shortlist for 2026, built from our own resort listings, with the starting nightly rate, the guest score out of 10 and who each property suits. Rates move with the season, so treat each number as the floor.
Cabo San Lucas: cliffs, the Arch and the Pacific
Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal
The one at the top of most lists, and it earns it: a perfect 10 guest score from around 210 reviews. You arrive through a private tunnel in the mountain, every suite has its own plunge pool, and the spa looks at the ocean. Kids are welcome, and so are pets. From $1,369 a night.
The Cape, a Thompson Hotel
Perched above the water with direct views of Land's End and the Arch. Two pools, an outdoor spa, surf-inspired design, and Manta, the restaurant by Enrique Olvera. A 9.6 from about 300 reviews, from $510 a night. Our pick for the guest who wants style over formality.
Grand Solmar Land's End Resort & Spa
Seven outdoor pools, a private beach, four restaurants and 244 suites with kitchens, which makes a long stay easy. A 9.2 from about 230 reviews, from $562 a night. Check-in is at 4pm.
Pueblo Bonito Pacifica
An adults-only all-inclusive on the Pacific side, with a farm-to-table organic restaurant and a full-service spa. A 9.2 from around 280 reviews, from $437 a night. Tranquility is the main event here.
The Corridor: all-inclusive at the top level
Le Blanc Spa Resort Los Cabos
The highest-scoring all-inclusive in our listings, a 9.6 from about 425 reviews. Adults only, a personal butler in every suite, five gourmet restaurants and four outdoor pools. From $974 a night. That is a lot, until you add up a week of $$$$ dinners somewhere else.
Nobu Hotel Los Cabos
Japanese minimalist design, four outdoor pools, and the Nobu restaurant on site. Our listing calls it a celebrity-favorite property. Adults only, a 9.6 from about 290 reviews, from $490 a night.
Marquis Los Cabos
An adults-only all-inclusive in a dramatic cliffside setting, with five restaurants, three outdoor pools, a holistic spa and a ceviche bar on the beach. A 9.2 from around 385 reviews, from $613 a night. The romantic pick.
Paradisus Los Cabos
Adults only, on the Corridor between the two towns, with seven restaurants and a full-service spa. From $555 a night. The guest score is lower here, an 8.4 from about 225 reviews, so read recent ones before you book.
San José del Cabo: boutique and quieter
Viceroy Los Cabos
Ochre-and-concrete architecture on the Malecón, a private beach area, the Nido restaurant and a curated mezcal tasting program. A 9.2 from about 510 reviews, with kids and pets welcome. It starts at $234 a night, the best entry point to real luxury on this page.
Hotel El Ganzo
Inside the Puerto Los Cabos marina, with a private beach club, an underground recording studio, a rotating artist residency and a rooftop with sunset views. Adults only, a 9.2 from around 520 reviews, from $283 a night. For people who find big resorts boring.
Casa Natalia
Only 20 rooms, on the main plaza of the art district, with courtyard gardens and a heated pool. Adults only and owner-operated. A 9.2 from about 330 reviews, from $199 a night. Stay here if the town is the reason you came.
For families
Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos
The family all-inclusive, with a full water park, kids and teen programs and six restaurants. An 8.6 from about 265 reviews, from $590 a night.
How to choose
- All-inclusive or not. Le Blanc, Marquis, Paradisus, Pueblo Bonito Pacifica and Hyatt Ziva are all-inclusive. At the others you will eat around Los Cabos, which is half the fun.
- Kids. Waldorf Astoria, The Cape, Viceroy and Hyatt Ziva take them. Most of the rest are adults only.
- Swimming. Check the beach flags every day. Conditions change fast, and a red flag means the pool.
- Season. November to April has the best weather and the busiest resorts. Summer is warmer and more humid.
Waldorf Astoria for the splurge, Le Blanc for all-inclusive, Viceroy for value. Compare them all on our Los Cabos resorts page.
