Overview
Los Cabos sits at the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California peninsula, where the Pacific Ocean collides with the Sea of Cortez in a dramatic landscape of desert cliffs, rugged rock formations, and pristine beaches. The iconic El Arco -- a natural stone arch rising from the sea -- has become one of Mexico's most recognizable landmarks.
For points travelers, Los Cabos is a powerhouse destination. Every major hotel loyalty program has significant presence here, with Hyatt's all-inclusive Ziva resort leading the pack in CPP value. The Waldorf Astoria Pedregal and Zadun Ritz-Carlton Reserve offer ultra-luxury redemptions.
Los Cabos offers a unique blend of beach relaxation, desert adventure, and culinary excellence. The Sea of Cortez -- which Jacques Cousteau called 'the world's aquarium' -- provides world-class snorkeling, diving, and whale watching.
