Summer in Los Cabos has always been sizzling, but this summer of 2025 the night just got hotter.
According to a recent report, Cabo’s nightlife is expected to surge by 20% this summer, with both iconic haunts and fresh faces drawing crowds until dawn.
We at The Cabo Sun have roamed from rooftops to beach clubs, sampled the vibes, and danced the night away—here are the top 5 spots that promise an unforgettable night out in Cabo.
