Share The Article

We at The Cabo Sun see timeshares in Los Cabos making a serious comeback—so grab your sunhat and let’s dig in on what’s driving the appeal. Long seen as either a brilliant vacation hack or a financial trap, timeshares have always sparked debate.

But here in Los Cabos, they’re not just surviving—they’re thriving. As travelers return to Baja’s sun-soaked shores in search of luxury, consistency, and community, more are discovering that the timeshare model might just be the best of both worlds.

🌅 Timeshares Rising After the Storm

The global pandemic hit travel hard, but timeshares here are now back on a growth path—about 4–6% annually—even with Airbnb’s rise.

That tells us something: people want the comfort and predictability of resort‑style living with a “home base” rhythm.

🏖️ Resort‑Style Perks with a Familiar Feel

What keeps travelers saying “sign me up”? Timeshares in Los Cabos mix upscale amenities—think infinity pools, spa services, golf, fine dining—with condo‑style layouts.

Frequent visitors, families, and snowbirds love that sweet spot.

• Prime beachfront or clifftop views

📈 Airbnb Is Hot, But Timeshares Hold Strong

It’s a fact: Airbnb listings in the region jumped over 7% this year, now totaling 6,000+ options—though occupancy hovers around ~40%.

Timeshares, on the other hand, typically see much higher rates—especially during peak season—because visitors value reliability and service over chance.
