The destination is adding major hospitality, wellness, golf and retail projects as its tourism strategy broadens beyond conventional resort stays.
Los Cabos Tourism Board has outlined a pipeline of hospitality, wellness, golf and branded residential developments that it says will shape the destination over the next 18 months. The announcement, issued on July 14, 2026, places globally recognised hotel brands alongside nature-based retreats, championship courses and lifestyle developments. Amanvari was reported as scheduled to open on August 1, 2026, while other major projects are planned for late 2026 and the years beyond. Together, the plans show how Los Cabos is presenting luxury travel as a combination of accommodation, wellbeing, culture and outdoor experience rather than a hotel-only proposition.
The expansion builds on Los Cabos’ established position as a destination where desert landscapes meet the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Cortez. The Tourism Board describes a development model centred on low-density projects paired with hospitality, gastronomy, wellness and natural experiences. Rodrigo Esponda, the board’s managing director, said the destination’s appeal lies in bringing private-jet access, luxury brands, Michelin-recognised dining, wellness programmes, golf and outdoor landscapes within one location. Those comments are presented as the board’s assessment of the market, rather than as an independently measured forecast.
The named projects span several segments of the premium travel economy. Amanvari, on the East Cape, is described as Aman’s first property in Mexico, with 18 casitas and a limited collection of branded residences. The St. Regis Los Cabos at Quivira is expected in late 2026, alongside the 301-room Grand Hyatt Los Cabos Resort, Golf & Spa within the Oleada Pacific Living & Golf community. The Grand Hyatt is expected to become the first all-inclusive property in the Grand Hyatt brand, with the Oleada Golf Links course designed by Ernie Els. Park Hyatt Cabo del Sol, meanwhile, was reported to have recently welcomed its first guests.
Wellness is another central strand of the destination’s positioning. The release points to Sensei at Zadún, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, where programmes incorporate biomarker analysis, fitness consultations, nutrition coaching and recovery therapies. It also highlights Paradero Todos Santos and AMET Nature Retreat for experiences connected to Baja’s landscapes, culture and natural rhythms, alongside spa programmes at Four Seasons Resort Costa Palmas and Four Seasons Resort Cabo Del Sol. In golf, the Tourism Board identifies Oleada Golf Links, Old Lighthouse Golf & Ocean Club and The Legacy at Diamante as upcoming developments that will add to the region’s existing collection of courses.
The strategy also extends beyond resorts. The release cites forthcoming projects including Conrad Los Cabos, Delano East Cape and SIRO Palmilla, while Ánima Village in San José del Cabo is described as a recently debuted open-air luxury shopping destination. Its stated mix of fashion, jewellery, art and design gives the destination another platform for high-end activity outside hotel grounds. For Los Cabos Tourism Board, the development pipeline is therefore less a single opening than a broader attempt to connect accommodation with wellness, golf, retail, culture and the region’s natural setting.
