67 Best Hotels in Los Cabos and the Baja Peninsula, Mexico

With freestanding steel box-cabins perched on a boulder-strewn hill, this property has architect Jorge Gracia to thank for its innovative design. Dirt trails lead to 20 rooms (called “lofts”), each reminiscent of a shipping container from a distance, but inside you’ll find plush white bedding, concrete floors, rain-showerheads, and lamps made from steel pipes. Each sleeps a maximum of two guests, and the hotel is not child-friendly. In an effort to connect with nature, guests are given access to hiking trails and private decks with chimeneas that can be lit upon request. This also translates to no TVs, no phones (walkie-talkies provided), no room service, no minibars, no closets, no wine tasting, and very few room amenities. Despite these cutbacks, this still happens to be the one of the most expensive properties in wine country. Breakfast is served by the infinity pool bar, but your view begins in the glass lobby located at the foot of the mountain (it sometimes functions as restaurant, but is often closed and changes hands frequently). Beyond this point, only guests of the hotel can enter and rooms must be reached by shuttle or on foot. 

Families love this long-standing resort on Ensenada's top beach, especially because of its private location and endless activities like horseback riding, tennis, volleyball, kayaking, and Jet Skiing. Behind the secure grounds are the resort, an RV park, and a retirement community, all with access to a swimming pool, two restaurants, and a children's playground. The best rooms (some with kitchenettes) are by the sand and have sliding glass doors that lead to private patios where you can watch dolphins and seals swimming in the bay. Be sure to check out the outstanding collection of pre-Columbian artifacts in the resort's small museum. Midweek winter rates are a real bargain, and there are other frequent specials on the website.

One of the most recent additions to Cabo's resort landscape, this place delivers what its guests have come to expect from the Four Seasons luxury brand---a unique experience with top-quality services all around. With "only" 96 rooms, the resort doesn't feel as massive as other options in the region, and its "Mexico meets the Mediterranean" vibe is a total success. The guest rooms offer ample space (the smallest room comes at 847 square feet) and plenty of natural light, with all of them enjoying ocean views or being oceanfront. Some rooms include a heated plunge pool on their own private terrace. Three gourmet restaurants---a Peruvian-Japanese fusion, a French-Italian one, and a Baja Mexican beach club---form an original dining offer. With a family pool and an adults-only pool, different kinds of fun are always available. A world-class golf course, a brand-new spa, and a creative activity center guarantee that you'll never get bored here.

This family-friendly, optional all-inclusive resort is a standout in every sense of the word and every aspect of the experience offered to guests; it’s luxury mixed with class and upscale service. With four gourmet restaurants and three snack bars, the dining options are hard to match in the region, and the "optional" label of the all-inclusive program allows guests to explore the famous dining scene of Los Cabos. However, the best part is the huge size of the rooms---two-bedroom suites come at 1,980 square-foot and include every little amenity you can think of, from a freestanding bathtub, separate rain shower, terrace with a hammock, and even a Nespresso machine. Eight swimming pools, including one for kids and one for adults on a spectacular rooftop terrace, round out an overall remarkable experience for guests of this resort.

The dramatic lobby of this all-inclusive resort is eight stories above the beach, and every room looks out onto the Sea of Cortez. Cream-color walls, rich marble floors, ocean views, and abundant art make for an elegant atmosphere in the 420-square-foot rooms. The Imperial Suite has its own swimming pool and separate entrance. A complimentary minibar is stocked daily, meaning you can enjoy a drink on the tiny terrace while admiring the view. The Fiesta offers discounts to the 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Ocean Golf Course, in addition to the luxurious spa. Though the beach is rocky, this is one of the few hotels on a stretch of water that is safe for snorkeling. This is not the place for people looking for Cabo's famous party scene.

Architecture melds perfectly with natural surroundings as hotel suites dramatically hug cliff and sea and subterranean stone passages open to infinity pools framed by cactus gardens and raked sand. The resort is practically on top of its namesake rock formation, a sight that will not cease to amaze at any point of your stay. Solmar has been owned by one of Cabo's founding families (before becoming a hotelier, patriarch Don Luis Bulnes Molleda managed the old fish cannery; today, there's a statue by the marina in his honor) for over 50 years; though the property has been rebuilt and reimagined since, it's still a special slice of San Lucas history.

Impressive in every respect, this aptly named resort commands well over a mile (2 km) of Pacific Ocean coastline north of Cabo San Lucas, with an 18-hole golf course from Greg Norman, excellent on-site dining options, a beachfront spa, sleek swimming pools, and a small salt-water lagoon you can kayak and paddleboard in. The scenery surrounding the resort is quite the sight, and depending on your taste in cinema, may register as familiar: the same powerful waves and sprawling dunes were the backdrop for the Hollywood epic, Troy. Solmar has grand expansion plans, intending to triple the size of the property over the next several years, adding more rooms, restaurants, amenities, and beyond. An all-inclusive meal plan is available as an add-on.

Small domes and barrel tile roofs top eight buildings at this lovely, hacienda-style resort in the Cabo Del Sol development. Make your way past tiered fountains to the rooms with wrought iron and wood furnishing, Mexican textiles, and terra-cotta floors. The whirlpool tubs and large balconies with ocean views take the hotel beyond chain standards. Standard rooms have either two double beds or one queen, with ocean or garden views. Huge, luxurious pools are surrounded by palms and all the chaise lounges guests need. The 450-yard beach is beautiful, and sometimes the sea in this sheltered cove is calm enough for a swim.

Despite the enormous size of this timeshare-resort hybrid, there are only 205 rooms and 35 residences, meaning guests are treated to 1,400-square-foot hacienda-style suites. The property itself replicates an old Mexican village, with rooms housed in two buildings tiered on a hillside so nearly every suite has an ocean view. Separating the buildings are two pools, one designated for activities and the other for peace and quiet. The seven restaurants range from Mexican cuisine to grilled specialties; or guests can use all-inclusive privileges to dine at one of five restaurants on the marina in Cabo San Lucas. A hotel shuttle makes 10 trips a day to sister property Marina Fiesta. The on-site grocery store, pharmacy, and babysitting service make this resort popular with timeshare owners. Be sure to read the list of amenities that are not included in the all-inclusive plan, or you might end up with sticker shock at checkout.

Privacy, comfort, and quality are the pillars of this hacienda-style property that draws a loyal clientele for the central location and reasonable rates. Housed in a two-story building, rooms overlook the pool and vineyard where grapes are produced for their private Melchum label. Four stand-alone rooms at the back are slightly larger and more modern. When not wine tasting, guests can explore the hiking trails or dine at the popular main restaurant (closed Tuesday) where pork, fish, beef, and weekend brunch are served. With an elegant on-site winery, you can sample from their seven labels and enjoy chocolate and wine pairing. For cocktails and simple fare, visit their newest restaurant-bar Aledaño, open for lunch and dinner (closed Monday). 

It's likely no surprise that music is creatively incorporated throughout the Hard Rock's resort experience; there's a pool with an underwater playlist, Fender guitars can be delivered to your room, and the spa even uses sound vibrations in its treatments. Many of the activities and entertainment are fun for the whole family, but ample opportunities for independence also await: grown-ups will find sophisticated tranquillity at the adults-only Rhythm Pool while youngsters can enjoy an action-packed weekly itinerary at the Hard Rock Roxity Kids Club. Night owls can party at the Moonlight Lounge until the wee hours and there's a decked-out game room for teens to hide out in while their parents are being "cringe" at the karaoke mike.

In addition to its own marina and artificial beach, this all-suites resort has indoor-outdoor pools, a spa, tennis courts, a water-sports center, and a sports bar overlooking the bay. The horseshoe-shape layout means that every room has a marina view, but corner suites on either end are by far superior. All guest quarters have refrigerators, coffeemakers, lounge areas, balconies, flat-screens, and either a king-size bed or two full beds. Even the most basic rooms are surprisingly large. Rates drop substantially midweek and between October and March. For those traveling to and from San Diego, the hotel has a shuttle service for $550 for a 10-passenger van. For a sampling of the hotel without the full bill, just $30 will grant you day access to the pools, sauna, and grounds.

A small, stylish hotel with beach resort amenities, boutique chain Hotel Indigo's new property within the sprawling Puerta Cortés development complex gives travelers the best of both worlds. The hotel remains its own entity (in theory, you could enjoy the outdoor pool all day and never leave), but guests have access to the beach, restaurants, golf course, and more, which are otherwise reserved exclusively for Puerta Cortés owners and members.

Tried-and-true Palmas de Cortez remains the primary option in Los Barriles for travelers seeking central and comfortable beachfront accommodations. First and foremost, though, this is a fishing lodge. Pangas and several sizes of cruisers can be booked through the front desk and depart from the on-site dock, and special lodging and fishing packages are available with prices tiered according to room type and length of stay. Standard rooms are nothing to write home about due to dated decor, but the suites and condos are much nicer.

In the heart of Baja's wine country sits this modern 10-room boutique hotel within walking distance of Valle's top restaurants. Five sleek freestanding structures, reminiscent of upcycled containers, each house two suites with private entrances and rooftop terraces where you can sip a glass of wine while soaking in mountain-and-vineyard views. Wedding parties often book out all five units since the massive bathrooms with vanities (a rarity for Valle hotels) are perfect for brides preparing for their big day. Nespresso coffee pods, smart TVs, stocked minibars, and custom-made bath amenities are a few of the perks that set this property apart from the pack. Seamless comfort starts with the towels and bathrobes and ends at the king-size beds, perfectly firm with linens that have a ridiculously high thread count. Since this hotel is part of the Finca Altozano "compound," you can walk to several restaurants including Animalón, ¡Lupe!, and Gelateria Ramonetti while justifying that second (or third) pour with, "Since I'm not driving ..."

The location of Todos Santos' most popular hotel is quite extraordinary as you'll immediately be mesmerized by the sights and sounds of crashing waves; you can audibly hear them from your room. (Note: light sleepers may benefit from earplugs; otherwise, enjoy the soothing sound as it lulls you to sleep.) Every inch of the property is thoughtfully designed with a mix of colorful '70's motifs and classic beachy neutrals. The dining is among the best in Todos Santos; Sunday brunch at the farm–to–table restaurant, Cosecha, is the talk of the town. 

Perched on a hilltop overlooking Vena Cava winery, this luxury inn is reminiscent of a Tuscan villa. Bright, romantic bedrooms are individually decorated with terra-cotta tile flooring and Mexican accents in the colorful rugs and pillows. Stone and tiled bathrooms were designed by owners Phil and Eileen, who have integrated green practices into their property, right down to their own line of organic bath products. Three of the rooms have full balconies separated by partitions, with chaise lounges and Mexican chimeneas. Stone stairs lead to a swimming pool and Jacuzzi. Spa treatments are available in a designated room next to the lounge. Room rates include wine tasting, teatime, afternoon appetizers, and a full organic breakfast. If you're still hungry, swing by their on-site food truck for fresh Baja cuisine.

This intimate hotel north of Ensenada has rooms facing the ocean, but it's the infinity pool spilling into the sea that will take your breath away. Paying tribute to "Las Rosas," the atrium lobby has rose-color walls and mint-green railings leading to rooms on four floors. Those on the top have A-frame ceilings and the best views, but all rooms have queen beds with white duvets, flat-screen TVs, green tiled bathrooms, and small balconies facing the ocean. The pool, bar, spa, tennis court, and restaurant will likely keep you out of your room, many of which have an '80s feel that will take you back to when the hotel was in its prime.

If you're looking for a reliable and comfortable place to spend the night, this old-school hotel certainly does the trick. Though the rooms each have two queen beds, there is a flat per person rate for anyone who stays over; solo travelers pay $85, while couples are charged $100. A third or fourth guest (including children over five) are each an additional $25/nightly. The palm-shaded swimming pool has a marlin painted on the bottom, and a bar area with cable television is a good spot to hangout if you want to watch a game, since rooms lack TVs. Guests will have to buy their own booze, but there are a few well-stocked minigroceries nearby. Fishing boat rentals can be arranged in the office, which also has a few books on hand for those in need of a beach read.

If you like your accommodations to feel like a warm embrace, you'll love being welcomed at this hillside property, which is completely covered in color between blooming, bird-filled gardens and original wall mosaics. It's also one of the most affordable properties in Todos Santos, and owners Bryan and Sergio Jáuregui are among the friendliest faces you'll find. Every casita (which has one- to two bedrooms) has a unique layout and design, and offers the privacy and comfort of a vacation home along with the services and amenities of a boutique hotel. Overlooking the lagoon and ocean, you'll see and hear some interesting wildlife from the grounds (including whales, when in season) as well as a brilliantly starry night sky.

Tucked away on a side street in the middle of the most happening part of town, this humble but charming boutique hotel is dripping in brilliant purple bougainvillea and orange lipstick vines that line the central patio. The rooms are basic but comfortable; book a junior suite for just $20/night more to score a walk-in closet and spacious kitchenette. The best part of the property is the communal courtyard spaces, where guests relax in the fresh air and fraternize with fellow travelers. 

It’s love that launched this stunning Nordic-inspired container hotel, starting with a romance between a Finnish woman and a Mexican man who turned their marriage into a passion project that beautifully blended both cultures. The result is Lumi (“snow” in Finnish) that visually captures you even before reaching the six container cabins at the end of a dusty road. The Nordic design is impressive to say the least, with rooftop decks where homemade breakfast is served from 8 to 10 am. Across the horizon is their 9-acre vineyard and orchard where four canvas tents are perched for an affordable glamping experience. Each has "wall-to-wall" carpeting, a king-size bed, and shared bathroom. The container cabins have narrow lounge areas, small but adequate bathrooms, and either one- or two bedrooms. In true Finnish style, a sauna is available to guests. A six-person house is also available for a two-night minimum. This property is a favorite among families and pet owners who capitalize on the owners' love for babies and dogs.

The town’s first boutique property, Mantra is a welcome fresh face to an otherwise dated Los Barriles. Owner Gunnar Williamson is building the property himself from the ground up, and not a single detail has been overlooked including the design and comfort of the spacious studio-style villas and the provided amenities, like a stocked kitchenette and full set of beach gear. Expansion plans include more rooms and the installation of a pool and spa.

Location, location, location: Marina Fiesta's may be the very best in town, and that, coupled with an extraordinarily reasonable nightly rate make it a top choice for an interesting mix of guests: fishermen, families, and college-age partiers. An optional all-inclusive add-on gives you unlimited access to not only the bars and restaurant on-site, but the neighboring venues that line a stretch of Marina Cabo San Lucas called the Golden Zone. It's a bit of a tourist trap, however, so true foodies are advised to spend their coin dining elsewhere.

Stunning architecture, a property-wide art collection of unique pieces, noticeable attention to detail, and loads of luxurious touches make the Marquis a standout. The adults-only resort is ideal for couples and honeymooners. Rooms overlook the ocean, boast L'Occitane amenities, reversible mattresses (hard or soft), high-speed Internet, and original art. At 1,670 square feet each, the 25 casitas are ideal for extended vacations. They are located right on the beach. Three infinity-edge swimming pools, the length of the hotel, curve along the edge of the sand. The five on-site restaurants offer plenty of all-inclusive choices at mealtimes, and the coffee shop with fresh pastries and boxed lunches is a nice touch. Be sure to reserve a table at the Sakke, an Asian-inspired restaurant complimented with teppanyaki tables.

Break out the bottle service: ME Cabo is the perfect base for affluent travelers looking to let loose. Thanks to a partnership with Grupo Rosa Negra, Mexico's premiere high-end, high-energy restaurant group, there's on-site action every afternoon and evening, and beautiful people abound. The same can be said for the scenery; the view of Land's End from the open-air lobby is particularly jaw-dropping. ME Cabo sits on one of the only swimmable beaches in town and was the first hotel in Los Cabos to receive a Queer Destinations distinction for commitment to inclusivity.

Celebrities and influencers are common guests at Nobu Los Cabos, and you'll feel like one yourself moving through this stylish paradise. The design is a combination of sophisticated Japanese aesthetic and Cabo’s laid-back energy, reflected across the rooms and suites, restaurant spaces, and landscaping. Though there is a kids club, this property is best suited for adults content to sit by the pool with a drink and/or book in hand. It's pretty mellow 24/7, which, personal preferences pending, could either be a dream or a drag.

No lodging in Todos Santos has a more spectacular location than Paradero, which is set within an organic farming community and offers panoramic vistas of desert, mountains, and the Pacific Ocean. Paradero's name, which loosely translates to "a stop along the way," is inspired by their clientele (a majority of guests come as an add-on to Los Cabos or as part of a larger trip around the Baja). The design-forward space is an Instagrammer's paradise, with sleek concrete structures and towering cacti serving as dreamy photo backdrops. Guests can sign up to join different group experiences each day, like a walk around town or sunset viewing at the beach (complete with a bottle of wine). This is an adults-only property, and everything about it is subtly romantic, so noncouples might feel a bit awkward. Aside from dining on-site, there's not much to do once the sun sets; all communal space is outdoors and minimally lit, the rooms intentionally forgo television sets, and there's not a single business to patron within walking distance. Having a rental car is a must if you plan to spend time in town, as the hotel charges a 400% markup on the 10-minute ride to/from.

This beachside all-inclusive adults-only resort has fabulous rooms decorated in beachy tones of turquoise and gold, with private terraces overlooking the ocean or gardens as well as swim-up rooms, part of The Reserve upgrade section. Step inside the white-and-gold lobby and grab a cocktail from the hip Gastro Bar where chill-out music will make you lose track of time. By day, guests can play volleyball or lounge by the pool, and by night, enjoy movies under the stars or listen to live music. The resort offers one of the largest meeting centers in the region, holding up to 1,100 guests.

In one of Ensenada’s most beautiful settings, this 27-room hotel has charm and tranquillity to spare with spacious rooms that have balconies facing the ocean. A long driveway leads to a modern glass-walled lobby and three buildings housing rooms with flat-screen TV’s, minibars, and Wi-Fi. Those in building No. 2 are slightly larger and have direct views of the pool and ocean. For outstanding seafood, visit the restaurant where you can enjoy a refreshing cocktail and watch the sunset. Unlike other hotels in the area, this family-owned property is set far back from the main road for the ultimate peace and privacy.
