Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Cabo San Lucas

5 stays · 4 aparthotels and 1 serviced apartments

Aparthotels and serviced apartments suit Cabo San Lucas because most visitors come for several days of beach, fishing and boat trips, and the resort is built around holidays with friends and family. A kitchen and living area give you a base for self-catering breakfasts and a place to store diving or fishing gear, and extra bedrooms make sharing easier for groups and families.

Where to stay in Cabo San Lucas

Marina and downtown

  • first-time visitors
  • nightlife
  • boat trips

The marina and downtown area is the centre of the resort, with restaurants and bars and well-known nightlife venues such as Cabo Wabo and El Squid Roe, according to Wikivoyage. It is the easiest base if you want to walk to dinner and evening entertainment.

Stays in or near Marina and downtown

Medano Beach

  • beach
  • water sports
  • families

Medano Beach is the main beach near the marina, with restaurants and bars, according to Wikivoyage. It suits families and groups that want to be on the sand while staying close to downtown.

Land's End

  • scenery
  • photography
  • boat trips

Land's End is where the peninsula meets the sea, with dramatic rock formations and the Arch of Cabo San Lucas. Wikivoyage describes the views as exceptional for photography. It is a place to visit rather than a neighbourhood, so most stays are based near the marina or Medano Beach.

Tourist corridor

  • quieter stays
  • resort feel
  • car-based stays

The tourist corridor runs along the coast between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, with numerous hotels and timeshares, according to Wikipedia. It suits those who prefer a calmer resort setting and are happy to use a car or taxi for trips into town.

Getting around Cabo San Lucas

Los Cabos International Airport lies north of San José del Cabo, about 20-some miles from Cabo San Lucas according to Wikivoyage. Wikivoyage lists a Ruta del Desierto bus to Cabo San Lucas, which it says takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on traffic, and the tourism board lists shuttle services, car rentals and taxis at the airport.

Within town, Wikivoyage says taxis are readily available with negotiable rates, and car rental is available from major agencies. Wikivoyage describes the Cabo Loop, a 320-kilometre coastal route, as a scenic option for motorcyclists.

Living in Cabo San Lucas for longer

For a longer stay, a kitchen lets you cook at home between restaurant meals. The wider Los Cabos area also includes San José del Cabo, known for art galleries and farm-to-table dining according to the destination site, and Cabo Pulmo, which the destination site describes as a protected National Marine Park recognised by UNESCO, about two hours from San José del Cabo.

Fishing is a major draw, and Wikivoyage says the area has about 20 golf courses as of 2025, alongside scuba diving and surfing. For relocation or extended work stays, see our guide to serviced apartments for relocation.

When to visit Cabo San Lucas

Cabo San Lucas has a hot desert climate. Wikipedia gives sea temperatures of around 21 to 22 degrees Celsius in winter and 28 to 29 degrees in summer, and notes that hurricanes can bring heavy rain; Hurricane Odile made landfall here in September 2014. It is described as less rainy than San José del Cabo.

Winter is whale season: the Los Cabos tourism board gives December through April and Wikivoyage lists January to March, with whales particularly abundant in early March. Wikipedia says pods migrate here from Alaska and Siberia in the winter months. If you travel in late summer, check the weather outlook for hurricanes.

Cabo San Lucas sits at the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Its landmark is El Arco, the sea arch at Land's End, and the resort corridor runs from here to San José del Cabo. The 2020 census counted 202,694 residents in the city, according to Wikipedia.
