Best all-inclusive and luxury resorts in Los Cabos for 2026–27
Updated November 2, 2026
Los Cabos, at the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California peninsula, is one of the most popular winter escapes from western Canada and the US, with direct flights from several Canadian cities, including Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto, into Los Cabos International Airport (SJD). The area has two towns, lively Cabo San Lucas and quieter San José del Cabo, joined by a roughly 30 km Tourist Corridor of resorts along the Sea of Cortez.
It is a desert, so winter days are dry and sunny with very little rain, and December to April is also whale-watching season. Below are the resorts guests rate highest, split into adults-only all-inclusives, family all-inclusives and luxury hotels, with the area each one is in. All ratings come from verified guest reviews.
Which area of Los Cabos to stay in
Cabo San Lucas: the marina, restaurants and nightlife, plus Médano Beach, one of the few calm, swimmable beaches in town. Boats to the famous Arch at Land's End leave from the marina. Roughly 40 to 50 minutes from the airport.
The Tourist Corridor: the stretch between the two towns, where many of the most upscale resorts sit on their own coves. Quieter, with swimmable bays such as Chileno and Santa María. Around 25 to 40 minutes from the airport.
San José del Cabo and Puerto Los Cabos: the closest area to the airport, around 15 to 20 minutes away, with a small historic centre, galleries and restaurants. A calmer base than Cabo San Lucas.
The Pacific side (Pedregal and Diamante): dramatic beaches and sunsets, but strong surf and currents make most of them unsafe for swimming, so you will mainly use the resort pools.
Best adults-only all-inclusive resorts in Los Cabos
Good for couples and honeymoons: no kids' clubs, quieter pools and usually more à la carte dining.

Tips for booking Los Cabos
If swimming in the sea matters to you, pick a resort on Médano Beach or the Corridor rather than the Pacific side.
Compare the total price with taxes and fees for your exact dates, not the nightly rate. On Suitefair, switch search results to total price.
For Christmas, New Year and March break, book early with free cancellation if you can. You can still cancel and rebook if the price drops.
Arrange your airport transfer before you fly. In the arrivals area at SJD you will be approached by people offering transport or tours who are often selling timeshares.
Hurricane season on Mexico's Pacific coast runs from mid-May to November. Winter trips fall outside it.
