Located on the tip of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula, Los Cabos' proximity to both ocean and desert landscapes make it an attractive place to visit. (That, and it's sunny 350 days of the year.)
Home to more than 70 hotels and resorts, the area has grown significantly within the past year and has plans for continued expansion in 2018.
The area is more accessible than ever, with more than 500 weekly connections a week flying into Los Cabos International (SJD), one of Mexico's fastest growing airports. By spring 2018, the airport will offer more access as it welcomes new direct flights via Southwest and Alaska Airlines.
There are plenty of hotels and resorts to choose from. Los Cabos offers a variety of accommodations, including European-style or boutique hotels and all-inclusive resorts. Many of these hotels are located on a 20-mile highway known as the "tourist corridor," which connects the two cities that comprise Los Cabos: the waterfront Cabo San Lucas and the cultural center San Jose del Cabo.
Resorts along this stretch offer unobstructed views of the ocean while just a short driving distance from most of the area's favorite activities and restaurants. Here are three luxurious accommodations to consider in Los Cabos for 2018:
Paradisus Los Cabos
The Paradisus Los Cabos is nestled in a crescent cove beach that offers spectacular views of the Sea of Cortez. Guests enjoy a wide array of services and amenities tailored for an adults-only experience or a family-oriented vacation. Out of the 350 rooms at the Paradisus, 98 feature Royal Service, which includes 24-hour butler service. Of those suites, 28 are swim-up, allowing for an unparalleled level of privacy.
For families traveling with children, the Family Concierge suites offer freedom for kids and parents. Kids' activities are fully supervised so the adults are free to enjoy other relaxing activities on their own. A nightly turndown milk and cookies service is sure to delight children and adults alike.
Besides the luxury accommodations, Paradisus features a number of restaurants and bars as well as a spa, fitness center and planned tours and excursions.
Solaz Resort Los Cabos
The Solaz Resort, part of Marriott's Luxury Collection, is an architectural gem designed in harmony with its seaside environment. The contemporary design utilizes indigenous woods and stones creating an earthy feel that is unlike other luxury accommodations.
Every room offers panoramic ocean views surrounded by endemic landscaping. The resort's rooftop gardens and its pathways leading to the sea allow guests to feel a harmony with Los Cabos' natural beauty.
Beyond the locally inspired decor, the guestrooms offer what is known as "artisan butlers" and concierges who provide unique and personalized experiences. Solaz also features event and meeting spaces as well as restaurants that draw inspiration from the area's rich cuisine.
