Paradisus Los Cabos is an adults-only, all-inclusive resort set on a rare, swimmable stretch between San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas.
The property began its life as Meliá Cabo Real. In late 2016, Meliá invested over US$35M to convert and upgrade it to Paradisus Los Cabos, adding The Reserve (a boutique hotel within the resort), new dining options, and expanded event space. It later joined The Leading Hotels of the World, and has since been repositioned to an adults-only experience.
Paradisus Resort in Los Cabos was designed in a clean, contemporary style by Spanish architects Álvaro and Adriana Sans, with interiors by Mexican designers Téllez y Téllez.
The breezy aesthetic features pale stone, sand-toned textiles and dark woods that mirror Baja’s desert palette fading into the Sea of Cortez. The resort’s “chic neutral” look is deliberate, framing the horizon rather than competing against it.
Before booking your next trip to Mexico, here are a list of highlights that make Paradisus Los Cabos Resort stand out from the rest:

- Guests who book top drawer accommodations at The Reserve enjoy additional perks like dedicated concierge, private check in, superior amenities, club lounge, priority restaurant reservations, and more!
- Standard room amenities include a 50-inch flat-screen, Nespresso, well-stocked minibar, laptop-size safe, and balcony or terrace with garden or sea views. Marble bathrooms are outfitted with rain showers, plush robes, and luxurious amenities.
- YHI Spa anchors the wellness offering with a hydrotherapy circuit and menu that includes classic massages to Asian-inspired rituals (think reiki, reflexology), plus a state-of-the-art gym.
- Fitness fans can also enjoy daily classes: yoga, stretching, pool aerobics, dance, and meditation.
- The sprawling property is dotted with multiple free-form pools, including an activities pool (volleyball, water Zumba) and quieter zones. Swim-ups create serpentine water features at ground level.
- The resort overlooking one of Cabo’s few swimmable beaches, a rare perk in a destination where currents are often rough.
