Perched within the prestigious Cabo del Sol enclave, Hacienda del Mar Los Cabos offers a reimagined all‑inclusive experience that feels as intimate and singular as the landscape itself. A modern hacienda born from Mexican tradition which has since been refined to invite discerning travelers into a world where every taste, every moment of rest, and every horizon carries a story worth lingering over.
This Autograph Collection resort is set 15 minutes from Cabo San Lucas’s lively marina and is embraced by panoramic ocean views. The resort’s 270 rooms and suites are framed by garden greenery or coastal beauty, presenting sophisticated comfort that pays homage to its sense of place. Unlike the cookie‑cutter all‑inclusive stays that dot the travel landscape, Hacienda del Mar summons a deeper connection to the cultural and natural rhythms of Baja California Sur.
The resort’s culinary program, in particular, stands as both a destination and an inspiration. Eight distinct restaurants and four bars (along with three casual snack spots) capture the breadth of Mexico’s rich food heritage, from emblematic regional specialties to creative interpretations served beneath open skies or amid elegant interiors. Dining here is not merely a matter of convenience; it’s an immersion into Mexico’s culinary heritage, a chance to savor meals inspired by the bounty of the Sea of Cortez and prepared with contemporary flair that honors tradition.
But it is La Cava de Santiago that embodies the resort’s commitment to unforgettable experiences. Hidden below the main thoroughfare, this subterranean wine sanctuary is the only one of its kind in Los Cabos. With a constant, cellar‑perfect temperature of 19°C, it houses a curated selection of 143 labels, inviting guests to explore vintages from around the world in a beautiful atmosphere. At a single, circular table for seven, diners embark on a seven‑course tasting menu, each dish paired thoughtfully with wine and narrated by the resort’s sommelier.
Cactus Spa, a sanctuary steps from the ocean, draws on the native flora and ancestral wisdom of the region’s earliest inhabitants, the Pericú people. Therapies employ ingredients that resonate with the landscape (blue corn, volcanic clay, prickly pear cactus, seaweed, and essential oils) blending the raw, elemental beauty of Baja with rituals of renewal. The spa also affords guest the opportunity for a hydrotherapy circuit which shifts gently through warm soaks and eucalyptus‑laden steam, cold showers and immersion lagoons, each designed to awaken and restore.
Recreation here moves at its own pace, inviting guests to explore rather than exhaust. Five pools, outdoor jacuzzis, a steam room, sauna, and a 24‑hour gym offer moments of vitality and ease, while a children’s club ensures younger travelers are equally engaged, free to make memories of their own. Golf enthusiasts drift effortlessly into the award‑winning course nearby, where desert terrain meets ocean breeze in a game played against one of nature’s grandest backdrops.
At its core, Hacienda del Mar Los Cabos stands apart not merely as an all‑inclusive luxury resort, but as a layered narrative of place, culture, and hospitality. Its positioning within Marriott’s Autograph Collection underscores that distinction. Here, all‑inclusive does not mean predictable; it means deliberately curated, thoughtfully experienced, and deeply felt.
