Here are 4 of Los Cabos’ most unforgettable themed resorts:
Hotel El Ganzo: A Live-In Art & Music Hub
Nestled just south of San José del Cabo, Hotel El Ganzo is where creativity and hospitality collide.
This boho-chic retreat doubles as a canvas for international artists, and you’ll find original murals splashed across every corner.
By day, explore the open-air art gallery, join a workshop led by a visiting painter, or browse the on-site record label’s vinyl collection. By night, catch an intimate concert in the hotel’s cutting-edge recording studio.
Why it’s worth it
- Artist-in-Residence Program: Watch live performances, exhibits, and installations in real time.
- On-Site Recording Studio: Record your own track or cheer on emerging musicians.

Viceroy Los Cabos: A Futuristic Water-World
Perched between the Sea of Cortez and the Sierra de la Laguna mountains, the Viceroy Los Cabos transports you to an aquatic wonderland. The lobby cascades into reflective pools, and every room offers a private plunge tub or balcony pool.
Think sleek, Mid-Century modern meets shimmering aquamarine: it’s the kind of place where you can float above infinity and watch the horizon melt into the sky.

- Designer Cabana Suites: Retractable roofs let you stargaze from your bed.
- Floating Water Pathways: Meander across ponds that surround restaurants and lounges.

Acre Resort & Residences: Luxury Treehouse & Farm-to-Table Escape
Just outside San José del Cabo, Acre feels like a private jungle outpost. Your treehouse suite is perched on stilts amid mahogany and palm trees, with covered terraces and sweeping valley views.
Days are best spent lounging by the organic pool, exploring the on-site farm, or indulging in a spa treatment hidden under the canopy. Evenings bring communal dinners around a fire pit, where chefs craft seasonal menus from ingredients harvested steps away.
Why it’s worth it
- Elevated Treehouse Suites: Ultra-private, each with hammocks and rain showers.
- Estate-Grown Experience: Hands-on tours of the permaculture farm and butterfly garden.
- Communal Long-Table Dinners: Share stories over mezcal-infused cocktails and rustic fare.

The Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal: The Secluded Mountain-Meets-Sea Sanctuary
Carved into volcanic rock at the tip of the Baja Peninsula, the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal feels like your own private kingdom. A secret tunnel ushers you from the village entrance to a cliffside courtyard with panoramic ocean vistas.
Each suite or villa boasts an infinity-edge plunge pool, a rooftop palapa, and a butler on call. Indulge at the award-winning spa, savor Baja-style sushi at Don Manuel’s, or tee off on the nearby Greg Norman–designed course.
Why it’s worth it
