Los Cabos means "the Capes" and refers to the resort area at the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula. Two towns, Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, are joined by the 20-mile Corridor. Along one side are rose-tinted desert mountains; on the other, the shimmering Pacific Ocean washes up on miles of sandy beach.
Cabo San Lucas was once a sleepy fishing village, this exciting resort town has evolved into a bustling, lively town with plenty of night life, shopping, dining and water sports on a sheltered bay. Los Cabos offers first-rate tourist service, including top quality hotels and condominiums, superb golf courses, marinas and restaurants. Wonderful facilities are available for fishing, swimming and sailing. Playa Chileno is ideal for diving, while the area between Cabo San Lucas and Cabo Pulmo is perfect for surfing.
San Jose del Cabo, is much quieter than Cabo San Lucas, the creamy sand beaches and soaring rock formations of San Jose del Cabo make its shoreline unmistakable. The area has plenty of natural wonders (including whale-watching, mid-January to mid-March) that are easily accessible from each hotel. Most beaches in Los Cabos are not suitable for swimming due to strong undertows.
Los Cabos is one of Mexico's most breathtaking beach destinations and is a great getaway for couples and singles. Our most popular resorts are the RIU Santa Fe, RIU Palace Los Cabos and Melia Cabo Real. Los Cabos vacations are great for all types of travelers.
