Viceroy Los Cabos, San José del Cabo, Mexico

Morning light slides across mirror-still reflecting pools, turning the resort’s white cubes the color of seashells.

In San José del Cabo, Viceroy Los Cabos is a modern, design-forward beachfront resort with 186 rooms and suites, where sky bridges, glass, and water create a quiet, cinematic world between desert and sea. 

Come for the architecture; stay for the slow rhythm of surf, mezcal at sunset, and nights that glow like moonlight on marble.

What Makes It Special

• Iconic architecture—striking white forms floating over reflecting pools with boardwalks and sky bridges
• Beachfront address (often wave-watching more than swimming) with endless horizon views
• Pool life, refined—multiple pools tucked between water and stone with cabanas and daybeds
• Serious wellness—a sleek spa, hydro areas, desert-botanical treatments, and a high-energy fitness club
• Dining with a sense of place—raw-bar brightness, wood fire, and mezcal-forward mixology
• Stroll-to-culture—minutes to San José del Cabo’s galleries and calm, colonial town square

A Day at Viceroy Los Cabos

Morning

Barefoot across warm wood walkways, the reflecting pools glass-calm beneath you. Breakfast brings just-baked pan dulce, mango with lime, and a strong espresso; pelicans skim the break like arrows.

Afternoon

Claim a cabana by the infinity pool; pages turn slowly while the Pacific breathes in and out. Lunch is aguachile with bright citrus and a charcoal-kissed catch, followed by a spa hour—desert sage aroma, cool plunge, and skin like silk.

Evening

Golden hour paints the architecture rose-gold. Cocktails arrive—smoky mezcalita, salt that tastes faintly of sea. Dinner on a terrace suspended over water; the resort glows as if lit from within.

Night

From your balcony, you hear only surf and the soft tick of palms. The moon lays a silver path across the ocean, and the reflecting pools hold the stars.
