A handy lengthy weekend escapade, it’s identified for its fast-developing resort strip, with landmark properties overlooking golden sands and an azure ocean, and an up-and-coming cultural scene.
That is not precisely information, although. Then again, what has captured our consideration is how Los Cabos is breaking all information that stand in its method this season, racing forward of different Mexican seashore hotspots which have had a noticeable slowdown in current weeks.
Cancun, we’re looking at you.
Cabo’s Spectacular Yr So Far

We all know numbers are boring, and we’re undoubtedly not about to provide the run-down of those difficult stats and trade figures, don’t be concerned. The primary takeaway right here is Cabo has by no means been as stylish as it’s now.
Oh, and will the upward development proceed by 12 months’s finish, 2025 is poised to be the best-performing 12 months in Cabo’s historical past.
All issues thought-about, what’s it about Los Cabos that has in some way shielded it from the fast-spreading ‘Mexico fatigue‘?
Guests Are Handled Like Royalty
Two years in the past, we reported on how Los Cabos continued to be the darling of beach-loving Individuals regardless of the hovering in a single day charges. On the time, these averaged a whopping $600.
In brief, let’s simply say costs have not precisely dropped since then, particularly with the addition of not less than 9 luxurious resorts on the horizon, however Cabo lovers aren’t precisely fazed. In some circumstances, they could as effectively be dipping into their financial savings to cowl trip prices.
The factor is, even once they’re splurging, a lot to the detriment of their long-term plans, guests to Cabo know it is going to be value each single hard-earned penny: resorts at this vacation spot are identified to go above and past in making certain friends really feel particular, and mainly like royalty.
From the non-public chauffeur ready on the airport, to the devoted butler service, the trendy facilities, and the top-notch spa therapies, all the best way to the epic rooms with views that go on endlessly. Certain, it might value an arm and a leg, however everybody deserves to deal with themselves every now and then.
An Understated Cultural Scene
There have all the time been talks in traveler circles that Los Cabos is one among 3 Mexican locations, alongside Cancun and Puerto Vallarta, the place tradition does not essentially take the forefront. Folks come right here to lounge by the poolside, sip on margaritas, and watch the waves crash in opposition to the shore.
No Mayan pyramids, no picture-perfect heart, no majestic Baroque cathedral.
Whereas there’s undoubtedly some fact to that, Cabo has been reimagining itself to draw tradition buffs, from the revitalization of the downtown zone to the creation of each a Gastronomic Route and Historic Cultural Route.
These spotlight the zone’s best-rated and most conventional eating places, significantly alongside Marina Boulevard, in addition to factors of curiosity, such because the Alley of Artwork, an open-air artwork set up that is all the time getting up to date, and the 18th-century Mission San José Church.
Individuals Can Fly Low-cost To Cabo
There is not any denying Individuals love the comfort of a brief, nonstop flight that will get them to a sun-drenched vacation spot with minimal problem.
In the event that they’re Cabo-headed, they’re in luck, as there are at the moment not less than 11 direct routes out there, together with 4 out of California alone.
In fact, flight availability shouldn’t be the one massive draw. They should be low cost. Nicely, evidently, Individuals can get unbelievable offers flying to Cabo from a number of U.S. departure factors, most notably Los Angeles (LAX), the primary worldwide route going to the Baja California Sur hub.

It Is One Of The Most secure Cities On Mexico’s Pacific Coast
Final however not least, there is not any discussing Los Cabos with out acknowledging its distinctive ranges of security.
In a rustic the place a number of states are plagued with journey warnings, Baja California Sur (the state the place Cabo is positioned) has persistently remained at Degree 2, as per the U.S. Journey Advisory.
Technical phrases apart, this merely means Individuals will not be discouraged from visiting Los Cabos, together with different seemingly extra harmful locations, like Tijuana or Ciudad Juárez.
They’re nonetheless urged to be ‘cautious’, alright, however crime affecting vacationers is extraordinarily unusual within the vacationer zone, a lot in order that we couldn’t discover any current report of a violent incident involving a customer previously 12 months.
Cabo’s standing as an upscale journey spot, on the radar of Hollywood celebs themselves, helps maintain surveillance ranges excessive, and petty theft low, nevertheless it’s not the one clarification behind the phenomenon:
The extraordinary policing alongside the driveways that lead from the north of the Baja California peninsula, notorious for its gang exercise, and the deployment of special forces to Cabo’s downtown zone, exactly to make sure vacationers are secure, has made it an extraordinarily unappealing vacation spot for criminals.
All in all, Cabo is luxurious personified; it has an understated cultural scene, it is easy to get to, and it is as secure as may be. What’s to not like?
