Since they only get an average of ten days of paid vacation per year, it’s no wonder the majority of Americans think first and foremost about relaxation when you go abroad every now and then.
We’re talking five-star stays, being treated like royalty from the moment you check in to the time you leave, and enjoying 24-hour catering: as fun as it is to plan a trip yourself, there’s really nothing quite like an all -inclusive stay south of the border.
If you are one of those who are still wondering where to go for your stress-free holiday at the end of the year, then this is the number one luxury beach destination in Latin America that should be at the top of your list:
Why is Cabo the leading luxury beach area in LatAm?
Like the Cabo Sun reportsLos Cabos is officially the premier luxury destination not only in Mexico, but in all of Latin America, and looking at the information presented, we are strongly inclined to agree, and we will tell you why exactly.
For starters, that renowned publication Travel + Leisure includes 9 Cabo Properties in their annual list of the 25 Best Resorts in Mexico, including the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal, a man-made oasis famous for its pool rooms and private beach access.
With weeklong stays costing as much as $6,857 this fall, it’s the flagship hotel for Cabos’ glitzy opulence, thanks to its award-winning spa services, chef-curated modern Mexican cuisine and prime location just 1.2 miles from downtown Cabo San. Lucas.
Another one of Cabo’s best-known resorts is the adults-only Grand Velas Boutique Hotel, which prides itself on serving the finest quality cuisine and the peace and quiet lovebirds and solo visitors can’t find them at one of those regular mega-resorts in Cancun.
For the odd foodie among us, you should know that Cocina de Autor, a restaurant in the Grand Velas, has been awarded the MICHELIN One Star Award: They distinguishes itself by their 8-10-course tasting menu, consisting of fresh, mostly indigenous ingredients and an extensive, innovative cocktail menu.
Although it hasn’t yet become a household name, the newly opened Four Seasons Resort and Residences Cabo San Lucas in Cabo Del Sol is already making waves with its intimate appeal – just under 100 rooms and suites and another 60 residences – and world-class amenities.
A ‘La Casona’ with a view of the ocean is put you back $998 per night this upcoming season, in line with other luxury hotels in the zone.
Are not that you mind spending the money when everything is taken care of for you, from commuting to and from the airport to leisure activities to dinner planning.
This ties in with our next point:
Wellness areas in abundance
The Global Wellness Institute (GWI), a non-profit organization that promotes wellness experiences worldwide, recognizes that Los Cabos has the “largest presence” of dedicated wellness locations in Latin America, with numerous state-of-the-art hotels and spa facilities.
Nowhere south of the American border does the luxury concept justice very much Cabo, and that’s because in most local resorts the well-being of the guests comes first; Don’t just take our word for it, you can check out the numbers for yourself:
As confirmed by Rodrigo Esponda Cascajares, a spokesperson for the Los Cabos Tourism Trust, around 96 percent of visitors to Cabo are ‘satisfied’ with how their holiday went – that’s what we normally say universal acclaim.
There are a few reasons for this, but the following five are the most relevant:
It is in close proximity to nature
Los Cabos is both a resort strip and an area of outstanding natural beauty. Wherever you stay, you’re never far from a pristine golden-sand beach or a marine reserve open to the general public outside the confines of a resort.
Sargassum is a non-existent problem:
Unlike Cancun and the wider Riviera Maya, tourists can rest assured that their trip to Cabo will not involve any unpleasant encounters with the stinking algae, regardless of the season, as this is not at all common in the Pacific.
Big selection of five star hotels:
In total, there are a whopping 59 five-star listings in both Cabo San Lucas and San Jose Del Cabo Booking.comonly slightly behind Cancun’s 62, but on the other hand with a much larger selection than Puerto Vallarta’s 15 and Acapulco’s limited 8.
Resorts are further apart:
Unlike other beach towns in Mexico, where the resorts cover just one strip, Cabo’s development zone stretches far and wide, over twenty miles to be exact, and chances are you’ll always feel a greater sense of privacy compared here to Cancun or Puerto Vallarta, regardless of your hotel choice
New exciting openings:
It’s not like Cabo’s developers are stopping there either: this year alone, several new resorts and spas are set to open in the fast-growing resort area later this year, with the highly anticipated Soho House & Beach Club and a new St. Regis bringing a to name a few.
Cabo is the tourist playground of every high-income American
Last but certainly not least, part of Cabo’s success in the luxury tourism industry is attributed to the wide range of unique experiences it offers to people longing for a taste of the rich and famous life without actually paying a high price for it:
That is possible, for example fly to Cabo on a semi-private jet from the popular departure points Los Angeles (LAX) and Dallas (Dallas Love Field) for less than $600 – that’s almost the equivalent of a Business seat on United Airlines, except you far even more great benefits.
We are talking about no fewer than three checked suitcases on an ‘all-in’ plane ticket, a lot of legroom, pets on board (in some cases), free high-speed internet in flight and private, expedited customs upon landing in Mexico – none of the usual long waits at the border!
In Cabo itself, yes a whole list of extravagant activities that keeps the ball rolling, with a luxury that is still affordable to book Catamaran trip (including snorkeling and lunch) costs $139 per person, and a guide camel riding through the dunes of Cabo (in combination with an off-road ATV adventure) set at $107.70.
To sum it up, if you ever make it to Cabo, you’ll know you’ve made it in your life, and let’s face it: an average nightly rate of $600 per night may sound like a surplus, but it’s not that big of a deal. amount. a question if you’re essentially guaranteed celebrity treatment––even if only for a week.
