LOS CABOS CONTINUES GROWTH AS ONE OF THE MOST PROFITABLE TOURIST DESTINATIONS
December 4, 2024
The Los Cabos Hotel Association announced that new developments from brands such as Saint Regis, Vidanta, and Hyatt will open in 2025, significantly increasing the current inventory of 20,000 rooms.
Among the new openings is the Saint Regis, located in the Pacific region within the Cabo del Sol development, as well as Vidanta in East Cabo, where the first phase has already opened and will continue to expand throughout the year. Also in East Cabo, the ultra-luxury Aman property is expected to open, though it is uncertain if it will be ready by 2025. Additionally, in the Médano area, a boutique hotel from Grupo México Gran Hotels, called Gran Casola, will open in the city center.
“We currently have around 20,000 rooms, and this number will continue to grow. Next year, the opening of new hotels will add 500 more keys to the inventory; it’s a significant increase,” stated Lilzi Orcí Fregoso, a representative of the hotel sector.
According to figures from the Los Cabos Hotel Association, the destination is expected to reach an average occupancy rate of 75% in 2024. After a challenging year, the tourism sector anticipates an increase in visitor arrivals for 2025, driven by new hotel openings and the consolidation of the destination as a leader in luxury tourism.

Hyatt is entering the final months of 2026 with a growing collection of luxury properties across some of Mexico’s most sought-after destinations. From the Pacific coast of Baja California Sur to the Caribbean shoreline of the Riviera Maya and the cultural heart of Mexico City, the company is expanding its portfolio with distinctive properties designed around their individual settings and guest experiences. The Park Hyatt brand is at the center of this growth. Following the opening of Park Hyatt Cabo del Sol in December 2025, Park Hyatt Riviera Maya is expected to open by the end of 2026 as the brand’s first all-inclusive property worldwide. Park Hyatt Mexico City Polanco, a 155-room hotel overlooking Chapultepec Park, is expected to welcome guests in spring 2027. Together, the three properties offer very different ways to experience Mexico, from coastal escapes to an urban cultural stay. Hyatt’s expansion also includes Alila Mayakoba, which opened earlier this year within the Mayakoba complex. Set across 60 acres of beach, lagoon, and jungle, the resort combines wellness, locally inspired design, and a strong connection to the Yucatán Peninsula. Meanwhile, three new Grand Hyatt resorts—Grand Hyatt Grand Cayman, Grand Hyatt Cancun, and Grand Hyatt Los Cabos—are scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2026, with Cancún and Los Cabos introducing all-inclusive experiences to the Grand Hyatt portfolio. For planners, this growing portfolio creates even more possibilities for designing programs around different sides of Mexico. Whether a group is looking for a sophisticated urban experience, a secluded Caribbean setting, or the landscapes and culture of Baja, Destination Mexico can help bring these new properties together with the authentic experiences, local connections, and seamless logistics that make a program truly memorable
