Los Cabos has further cemented its place as the most popular big destination in Mexico after government figures showed it maintained an occupancy level of at least 84.5% in 2023 so far.

It came in third overall, but what is most telling is it’s the only city-scale destination even to make the top 5!

This popularity is no accident; Los Cabos has worked hard to become a year-round destination and has taken huge strides across everything from security to air connectivity.

These are some of the main reasons why Los Cabos is so consistently popular.

Amazing Dining & Entertainment

There is no end to the experiences and activities travelers are able to enjoy in Los Cabos, but the dining and entertainment are definitely some of the biggest highlights.

A Food Lovers Paradise

Many world-renowned chefs call Los Cabos home, and the destination draws the trendiest brands from all over the world, including the super-popular Nobu.

Although the dining experiences at high-end restaurants are something special, travelers don’t need to fork out a lot of money to enjoy a fresh and beautifully cooked meal.

This is Mexico, after all, a country world-famous for its food, and Los Cabos has its own food fame within Mexico. Here travelers have access to the best of the county’s seafood, as well as all the national favorites.

Never a place to restrict choice, travelers can chow down on dishes from every part of the world. One night can be Mediterranean and the next night Caribbean. Or if travelers are missing the taste of home, one of the many great steakhouses or burger joints is always ready to satisfy those cravings.

No matter a traveler’s preference when it comes to food, they can find something for them here, and almost always in high quality.

Sights Not To Forget

Los Cabos is full of sights and experiences that last a lifetime. The many beaches and naturally rugged rock formations along the coast make for a beautiful vacation backdrop.

What’s more, getting around is easy here, and the full beauty of everything this destination has to offer is just waiting for travelers willing to venture out of the resorts.

Snorkeling in coral reefs, sailing out into the ocean to catch monster Marlin and Tuna, exploring the desert in dune buggies and ATVs, helping recently hatched baby turtles reach the ocean safely from predators, there’s no end to the diversity of experiences here.

And that is possibly where Los Cabo’s biggest strength lies. Many of the people visiting here have been coming back again and again for decades.

Some had their first beer here during spring break in the 90s, then they had their first family vacation here, their wedding, their anniversary celebrations, and now decades later, they’re still returning and finding new experiences and an ever better Los Cabos.
