Relax at Los Cabos’s top resorts and spas

No matter where or how long you stay in Los Cabos, one thing’s for sure: you’re guaranteed to leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Luxury resorts make up more than 80% of all available accommodation in the area, meaning there are plenty of comfortable suites, sparkling pools and quiet terraces for you to escape to. Not to mention, many Los Cabos resorts have tranquil spas that redefine wellness as we know it.

Here's a quick glance at the spa facilities and experiences you can find in Los Cabos:

  • The Currents Spa at The Cape, nestled in a natural rock formation, is complete with ocean-view cabanas and al fresco treatment areas. If the sound of crashing waves soothes your mind, this is the place to go for facials, massages and more.
  • The Secrets® Spa by Pevonia at Secrets® Puerto Los Cabos Golf & Spa Resort is a 13,000-square-foot haven for travellers. In between hydrotherapy circuits, stop by the refreshment bar for natural juices and fresh fruits.
  • The Waldorf Astoria Spa at the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal offers treatments based on three central themes: the sea, the moon and curanderismo (Mexican folk healing). Think seaweed baths, signature massages that align with the lunar phases and cleansing rituals.

Refuel at Los Cabos’s farm-to-table restaurants

There’s more to Mexican cuisine than tacos and tequila — and Los Cabos proves it! Home to certified-organic farms and acclaimed international chefs, Los Cabos has developed a reputation as a top foodie destination. Many of its award-winning restaurants cater to gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan and other dietary preferences. Plus, the food is as fresh as can be since many ingredients are locally sourced.

Here are a few of the best farm-to-table restaurants in Los Cabos:

  • El Huerto’s extensive menu changes with the seasons. But no matter what time of year you’re visiting, you can expect Mediterranean- and Asian-inspired dishes made with seafood and produce that are unique to Baja California Sur.
  • Tamarindos uses recipes that have been passed down through generations. Dishes include mango ceviche, green mole and baked cauliflower with sikil p’ak (a Mayan salsa made with pumpkin seeds and tomatoes).
  • Flora’s Field Kitchen is situated at the heart of a 25-acre organic farm. Work up an appetite by joining a free guided tour, which will give you an in-depth look at the farm’s history and evolution.
