Los Cabos’ Latest Luxury Sensation

If you have clients who are drawn to Los Cabos for its celebrity-friendly, high-end offerings and are looking for an all-inclusive that’s on par with a European-plan resort, don’t hesitate to recommend Le Blanc Spa Resort Los Cabos, which celebrated its grand opening earlier this year.

The gleaming newbuild, which is perched over the Pacific shore and is the second property in Palace Resorts’ luxury Le Blanc Spa Resort brand, mirrors the lavish design, service and style of its Cancun sister. And that’s saying a lot!

Fanciest and Most Common Accommodations: By far the fanciest accommodations are the members-only Presidential Suites, which are reminiscent of jet-setters’ pieds-à-terre with spacious and handsome sitting rooms, two bedrooms and a bar stocked with top-shelf liquor. The ocean-facing balconies are large enough to inspire thoughts of romantic moonlit dinners—which the resort will certainly arrange.

Le Blanc has stated that there are “no standard options” in terms of accommodations, which means that its run-of-house guestrooms—which comprise nearly all of the 373 total accommodations—are outfitted with amenities too luxurious to be considered standard elsewhere. A gift bottle of tequila supplements the liquor dispenser setup, Bulgari amenities are in all the bathrooms and furnished balconies are spacious.

What’s Included: Beverages, including top-shelf liquors throughout the resort and in accommodations; all meals in the property’s seven restaurants; 24-hour room service; gratuities; Wi-Fi; unlimited phone calls; and fitness center sauna/steam room access.

Best Entertainment: The resort boasts a generous number of entertainment options, including Blanc Stage, which is open until 2 a.m. each evening.

What’s for Dinner? The signature restaurant, Lumiere, features a seven-course, French-inspired tasting menu with wine pairings. Blanc Ocean serves Baja seafood, Mezze offers excellent Middle Eastern shareable plates, and the casual Blanc International is transformed into a steakhouse serving certified Angus beef in the evenings.

It’s worth mentioning that, as luxurious as Le Blanc is, it really excels at simply delicious food—insiders know to try the pizzeria for lunch, Blanc Italia for dinner. If your clients don’t care for sit-down breakfasts, recommend that they visit Blanc Cafe, which is curated by renowned pastry chef Antonio Bachour, for a delicious breakfast pastry.

Best Spot for a Cocktail: Blanc Fire, which is instantaneously recognizable by the actual flames that encircle it at nightfall, features a fire pit, beautiful water views, handcrafted cocktails and live entertainment.

Who Books This Resort? The property appeals to affluent couples who have stayed at the brand’s Cancun property. Le Blanc’s following also includes celebrities, whom your clients will see hanging out by the pool. Sometimes it’s hard to distinguish the famous from the rank-and-file guests, as the resorts consistently draws wealthy Latino travelers who carry themselves like stars.

Insider Booking Tip: When booking groups, especially during peak season, note that only 57 guestrooms (about 15 percent of the inventory) feature double beds. Don’t assume that friends who are booked in the same room will get two beds if that need is unspecified when booking.

If you’re booking a destination wedding group, make sure your clients know that the resort never closes its restaurants or bars for private events. So, a rehearsal dinner or bride’s brunch won’t be able to take over an entire venue—although there are gorgeous multipurpose spaces all over the property. Also, tell clients that Bachour is responsible for the dessert line—and his team creates stunning wedding cakes.

One final note: As is the case, at many Cabo resorts, the beach fronting the property is not safely swimmable, but the property’s pools are so gorgeous nobody really seems to mind.

Key Selling Points: For your clients who have become accustomed to posh all-inclusives in the Cancun/Riveria Maya region (including Le Blanc Cancun), the Los Cabos resort will offer them an entirely new luxury landscape to enjoy. The resort itself is gorgeous, as is the dry-desert Cabo backdrop. The property is also within convenient driving distance of charming and cultural San Jose del Cabo, as well as the bustling harbor of Cabo San Lucas.

Agent Assistance: Palace offers a significant number of sales and marketing tools to help you sell its brands through the PRO Specialist Agent program—including complimentary resort stays. For every two nights booked, agents receive one complimentary stay. The booking benefits program offers cash bonuses over and above the standard commission.
