Luxury travel in Los Cabos is entering a new phase. The destination is no longer defined solely by beachfront indulgence or traditional resort experiences. Instead, a new generation of travelers is shaping demand around wellness, design, privacy, community, and purpose.
Recent and upcoming hotel openings across the region clearly reflect this shift, with each project responding to a distinct set of expectations while reinforcing Los Cabos’ position as a global luxury destination.
Rather than competing on scale alone, these developments illustrate how luxury in Los Cabos is becoming more specialized, more intentional, and more closely aligned with how people want to travel today.
Park Hyatt Cabo del Sol: A Phased Debut
Leading the current wave is the Park Hyatt Cabo del Sol, which officially opened its doors to the public in December 2025. As the brand’s inaugural property in Mexico, it is currently in a soft opening phase, allowing early guests to experience the core of the resort while final signature amenities are perfected.
Located within the exclusive Cabo del Sol community, the property features 163 guestrooms and 88 suites with a design by Sordo Madaleno that reinterprets traditional Mexican courtyards and timber structures through a modern lens.
While the resort is fully operational for stays, the rollout of its most anticipated features continues through the first half of 2026. Guests currently have access to Mesa Madre, a restaurant honoring Mexican maternal culinary traditions, and the Costamar Beach Club.
However, the signature dining venue Silán, which will introduce Levantine flavors to the region, is scheduled to debut in spring 2026. Similarly, the full Araya Spa experience is slated to launch later in the first quarter of this year.
Amanvari: The Understated Debut of Aman in Mexico
Perhaps the most anticipated arrival is Amanvari, slated to open in spring 2026 on the East Cape. This marks the first Aman property in Mexico, situated within the 1,500-acre Costa Palmas development.
Amanvari follows a soft-touch design philosophy, consisting of only 18 contemporary guest casitas and a collection of private residences. Many of these are elevated on stilts to allow the natural desert flora and waterways to flow uninterrupted beneath the structures.
Privacy is the defining luxury at Amanvari. Residents and guests have access to a three-mile stretch of swimmable beach, a deep-water marina, and organic orchards.
The wellness offerings will include a modern interpretation of the traditional Mexican temazcal sweat lodge, alongside Italian and Japanese dining concepts that maintain the brand’s global reputation for understated excellence.
Grand Hyatt Los Cabos at Oleada: The Pacific Anchor
On the western side of the peninsula, the Grand Hyatt Los Cabos at Oleada is preparing for a late 2026 opening. Located within the 1,200-acre Oleada development, this 300-room resort marks a significant expansion for Hyatt’s luxury footprint in the region.
The property is designed to be a hub for both high-end leisure and major events, featuring expansive conference facilities and world-class gastronomy. Guests will have direct access to a links-style golf course designed by Ernie Els, further establishing the Pacific side of Cabo as a premier destination for sports and relaxation.
St. Regis Los Cabos at Quivira: Redefining the Coastline
Also on the Pacific side, the St. Regis Los Cabos is preparing for its grand opening in 2026. Set on a 33-acre site within the Quivira community, the resort features 1,200 feet of direct oceanfront.
The development includes a 120-room hotel and 60 luxury residences, with architecture by SB Architects that utilizes textures inspired by the surrounding granite cliffs.
A significant draw for this property is its partnership with Michelin-starred Chef Carlos Gaytán, who will lead three distinct dining experiences, alongside the iconic St. Regis Butler Service.
Soho House Los Cabos: An Intimate Social Hub
Rounding out the major 2026 openings is Soho House Los Cabos, situated in the Cabo del Sol community. This members-focused house is expected to debut in the latter half of the year, bringing its signature creative-social atmosphere to the Baja coast.
With only 15 bedrooms, including 12 “Casas” and three “Casonas,” the property emphasizes intimacy. Amenities will include a Beach Club, a Cecconi’s restaurant, and a Sunset and Cabaret Bar. The Soho Health Club will provide a holistic wellness offering, featuring advanced technology alongside traditional gym and pool facilities.
Looking Ahead: 2027 and the Future of Baja Luxury
The momentum of 2026 serves as a prelude to a broader multi-year expansion that will continue to redefine the region through 2030.
In 2027, the focus shifts toward specialized luxury concepts, most notably with the arrival of SIRO Palmilla. A wellness-centric brand from Kerzner International, SIRO is designed for high-performance recovery, featuring “biohacking” suites and a sophisticated Recovery Lab.
This will be joined by the Conrad Los Cabos at Oleada, which will introduce 175 guestrooms and 43 residences characterized by the bold, terracotta-toned architecture of the Legorreta firm.
Beyond 2027, the East Cape will see the debut of the Delano East Cape and Raffles Estera East Cape, both slated for 2029. These projects signify a move toward highly curated, lower-density luxury.
The Raffles property, designed by Olson Kundig, will be the brand’s first resort in North America, while the Delano will offer a design-led social experience on a pristine stretch of the Sea of Cortez.
Additionally, the Chablé Sea of Cortez is expanding the regional luxury map northward toward La Paz, with a wellness-driven residential community expected to open by 2027.
This long-term pipeline suggests that Baja’s new era will be defined by highly specialized, site-specific experiences that cater to the world’s most discerning travelers.
