Grand Velas Los Cabos Resort: Luxury in Baja California

Looking for a destination that offers relaxation, desert scenery, deep sea fishing, outdoor sports, unforgettable sunsets and a lot of pampering? Los Cabos—Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo at the southern tip of Baja California— may fit the bill. Los Cabos has transformed from sleepy fishing villages with dirt roads and taco stands to a world-class resort destination. Sure you’ll still find great tacos here, but you will also find gourmet Mexican food.

Allow yourself to be pampered from the moment you arrive at the five-star luxury Grand Velas Los Cabos Resort. The attentive staff greets you upon arrival, guides you to a comfortable chair overlooking the pool area, and helps you through your registration process. A cool drink and a masseuse to give you a shoulder massage transports you out of the hustle and bustle of life and into a world of luxury.

The resort is a large u-shaped building with all rooms having both an ocean and a pool view. The unique entrance to the complex is on the middle floor in the center of the building, overlooking the grounds of the resort, pool, and ocean.

Standard rooms are quite large with a patio overlooking the pool and grounds area. Scrumptious king beds, with soft sheets and linens, make sleeping divine. Large bathrooms, large screen televisions, and generous air conditioning complete the rooms. The top two floors boast private suites, some with private pool and some with meeting facilities.

Pool and Hot Tubs

Guests cannot go into the ocean due to the rip currents, but there is no need to do so because the resort has a large, meandering infinity-edge pool. Your pool concierge guides you to the perfect seats, brings you drinks or lunch, sets your umbrella, and makes sure that you are fully taken care of while relaxing. If you prefer to soak in a hot tub, there are a variety of tubs for your choosing. Just ask your concierge to set you up.

After you’ve sunbathed, soaked, eaten great food around the resort, enjoyed a tequila tasting in the bar, take yourself on to your next adventure—the Se Spa. See for yourself why it is named an aquatic paradise by Forbes. A private valet greets you and guides you through the seven-step water ceremony included in every treatment. The ceremony includes soaking in different stations in the indoor pool, each with varying degrees of water pressure and temperature. Continue with a massage or other treatments to rejuvenate yourself.
