5-star hotels in Cabo San Lucas
A shortlist of 5-star hotels in Cabo San Lucas, from adults-only beachfront towers on Playa El Medano to all-inclusive golf and spa resorts along the Transpeninsular corridor. It is for travellers who want the top tier of comfort here and need help telling the properties apart.
Staying in Cabo San Lucas
Cabo San Lucas sits at the southern tip of the Baja peninsula, where the desert meets the sea and the town's marina, beaches and hotel zone pack into a compact stretch of coastline. Visitors come for the beaches, the water and the stark landscape around them, and the resorts here range from walkable, in-town addresses to gated complexes further out along the corridor. These 5-star hotels are spread across several distinct areas. Playa El Medano appears in the addresses of ME Cabo Adults Only and Pueblo Bonito Rose Resort & Spa All Inclusive, while Hacienda Beach Club & Residences sits in El Medano Ejidal. Several addresses name the Centro area, including The Ridge at Playa Grande All Inclusive and Grand Solmar Land's End Resort & Spa. The mix suits couples looking for adults-only calm, families wanting all-inclusive ease, and anyone building a short break around the beach.
