Resorts, Hotels and Spas of Cabo San Lucas and Los Cabos
Welcome to Los Cabos! Stay Awhile, Relax, and Enjoy!

Tourism is booming in Los Cabos, the municipality that includes Cabo San Lucas, San José del Cabo and the Tourist Corridor in between. The Los Cabos region is undeniably one of the most rapidly growing areas in México. It is comprised of historic, colonial San Jose del Cabo to the east, and thriving Cabo San Lucas to the west, and connected by the twenty-mile Tourist Corridor. It is astonishing to view the recent evolution of tourism within this quaint region of Mexico.

The Baja Peninsula consists largely of mountainous desert and because of the dry climate it is not nearly as fertile as areas on the mainland. Initially, building and living in this region was not easy. Los Cabos and Cabo San Lucas have relied heavily on their legendary sportfishing and in the past ten years, world-class golf has expanded the attraction to this area. In the early-nineties, however, the tourism industry began to increase dramatically and Los Cabos has continued to flourish. With the number of world-class beach resorts and spas that have been built in Cabo San Lucas and the Los Cabos area in the past five to ten years, and the number currently under development, it has been astounding to witness the transformation of this once sleepy little fishing village into a major tourist travel destination.

The upsurge in vacation tourism has created high demands on the hotel industry and rapid development has become a necessity. The persistent growth is reflected in the increased number of hotel rooms in the region. In 1998 the total combined number of hotel rooms in the Los Cabos area was 5,731 compared to the number in 2002 of 8,907 rooms, and growing. Those numbers are expected to reach 9,954 rooms by the end of 2003, a figure that almost doubles the number of rooms in the area in only five years. This increase is primarily attributed to the construction of new hotels and resorts but it is also due to the fact that existing hotels and resorts are finding the need to expand their total capacity.
