Los Cabos is, without a doubt, one of the most popular luxurious destinations in Mexico right now.
With stunning all-inclusive resorts, a vast selection of fine-dining restaurants, and several luxury activities to choose from, it is not a surprise that this municipality keeps attracting tourists eager to treat themselves to an opulent holiday.
However, high-end amenities come at a cost.
According to recent data, a night in a luxurious Los Cabos villa has now reached the price of 80,000 Mexican pesos per night. This is roughly equal to $4,700!
So, how can tourists heading here save some money to avoid spending a small fortune on their vacation?
Here are some tips on how to save as luxury Los Cabos villas average over $4,000 per night.
Share the costs
As simple as it sounds, this is one of the best tricks to save some real money while still getting a top-notch experience.
Most luxurious villas in Los Cabos are able to accommodate plenty of people. Finding a group of friends or relatives eager to come to this destination with you means cutting down costs drastically.
This can also be said for a number of other costs. For instance, several luxurious activities can be purchased for a discounted price when large groups of people are involved, helping you save more bucks.
Make use of day passes
Of course, one of the best ways to save money is avoiding all-inclusive resorts, five-star hotels, and all other kinds of luxurious accommodation.
This may seem like too big of a loss for most visitors traveling here, but hear us out. Los Cabos is home to plenty of cheap accommodations from Airbnb to hostels and even coliving spaces.
Booking a room here, however, doesn’t mean you will have to give up on the top-notch amenities offered by all-inclusive resorts. How?
Most luxurious accommodations in the municipality offer day passes, giving those who purchase them the possibility of becoming guests of a given property for one day.
This means being able to make use of all of the all-inclusive amenities featured by a property, such as outside pools with ocean views, spas, and fine-dining restaurants, without having to pay the crazy price required to spend a night in these establishments.
Choose your days carefully
Most people tend to book their Los Cabos holiday in the winter season, specifically from mid-December to the beginning of January.
As a result, prices in the area suddenly increase. If you don’t have time restrictions, the best thing you can do to save money is to simply book off-season.
The truth is that, even though high season may offer a few extra activities, visitors heading here from July to mid-September will still have plenty to do!
From trying the delicious local food to enjoying the beach lifestyle and immersing themselves in unspoiled Mexican nature with a glamping adventure, the options are endless.
Coming to Los Cabos during the low season will not only help you save money on your flight, but also on your accommodation and activities.
If this is truly not an option for you, you can try your best to avoid flying on weekends, when airline tickets tend to be more expensive.
Opt for cheap activities
Last on our list are the many activities you can book in Los Cabos. Thankfully, this destination has a variety of cheap and even free options for visitors on a budget.
For instance, you can choose to spend your day sunbathing on the beach or snorkeling to spot some stunning marine animals without having to spend a single peso.
Alternatively, some cheap activities include exploring Cabo Pulmo National Park and hiking in the Sierra de la Laguna Biosphere Reserve.
Both natural areas are on the UNESCO list and can be the ideal solution for those wanting to opt for a more outdoorsy adventure.
Lastly, tourists should consider the idea of opting for street food or choosing an accommodation equipped with a kitchen to avoid buying all their meals from high-end restaurants.
