LOS CABOS IS ONE OF THE “PLACES TO GO” IN 2025
March 6, 2025

Los Cabos has been recognized as one of The New York Times’ “52 Places to Go in 2025”, the only destination in Mexico to make this year’s list. This acknowledgment highlights its natural beauty, commitment to sustainability, and evolving tourism industry.
Each year, The New York Times selects destinations that offer unique and meaningful travel experiences. Los Cabos earned its spot for its stunning landscapes, rich marine biodiversity, and its blend of adventure and luxury tourism. Visitors can enjoy activities like whale watching, diving in the Sea of Cortez, and exploring a vibrant dining and hospitality scene. Los Cabos’ inclusion also reflects the region’s ongoing efforts in conservation and responsible tourism, including initiatives to protect marine ecosystems and balance development with sustainability.
“This achievement is the result of strategic efforts and strong media relationships, particularly with The New York Times travel editor, Elaine Glusac,” said Rodrigo Esponda, Managing Director of the Los Cabos Tourism Board. “We’ve worked toward this recognition for the past year, and we’re thrilled to see Los Cabos featured.”
This recognition reinforces Los Cabos’ appeal as a destination worth exploring, offering everything from the iconic Arch of Cabo San Lucas to quiet beaches and unforgettable cultural experiences.

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
