Perched at the southernmost tip of the Baja California Peninsula, Cabo San Lucas is where México’s dramatic desert terrain plunges into the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortés. As one of two cities that form the famed Los Cabos region (alongside San José del Cabo), Cabo San Lucas is the energetic epicenter—a striking blend of natural spectacle, contemporary luxury, and a storied past. Originally a modest fishing village inhabited by the Pericú people, the area remained largely untouched until the 20th century. It wasn’t until the 1970s—when the Transpeninsular Highway (AKA the Tourist Corridor) connected the two towns and the region to mainland México—that Cabo San Lucas began its transformation into the global destination it is today.

Today, Cabo San Lucas offers a cosmopolitan lifestyle steeped in casual elegance. The coastline is defined by the iconic El Arco (the Arch), a soaring rock formation at Land’s End that is surrounded by sun-drenched beaches like Lover’s Beach, Divorce Beach, and Médano Beach. Its deep-water marina is among the most sophisticated in Latin America, drawing superyachts and sportfishing vessels year-round. The local economy, once reliant on fishing, now thrives on high-end tourism, with fine dining, luxury resorts, and championship golf courses punctuating the landscape.
