The brand's first Park Hyatt hotel in Mexico debuts in Los Cabos, offering modern Mexican architecture, oceanfront culinary experiences, and wellness rooted in the elemental landscape of Baja
“Where warmth, serenity, and the spirit of Baja come together in perfect harmony.” – Sordo Madaleno
Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) and RLH Properties today announced the official debut of Park Hyatt Cabo del Sol, the first Park Hyatt branded hotel in Mexico, as a welcomed addition to Hyatt’s luxury portfolio brand footprint in one of the world’s most beloved beach destinations. Set along a pristine stretch of coastline within the private Cabo del Sol community, this new resort brings the contemporary luxury of the Park Hyatt brand to the easygoing spirit of Baja California Sur.
Design as a Sanctuary – Guestrooms, Suites & Villas
Thoughtfully brought to life by Mexico’s leading architecture and interior design powerhouses, Sordo Madaleno and Paulina Morán, alongside acclaimed firm, George Wong Design, with the concept design by Yabu Pushelburg, Park Hyatt Cabo del Sol embodies design as a sanctuary, expressing a modern vision of Mexican architecture and a deep connection to the land and sea. The resort’s architecture and layout are intentionally oriented toward the coastline, ensuring constant, unobstructed ocean views throughout the guest journey. Natural materials, sun-washed palettes, and nuanced textures create a calm, residential atmosphere where interiors feel both protective and open, and where every space encourages an effortless flow between indoor serenity and the restorative embrace of a spacious outdoor terrace.
“Park Hyatt Cabo del Sol is inspired by the natural duality that defines Los Cabos: land and sea, openness and refuge, light and shadow – a sanctuary that provides a home away from home where warmth, serenity, and the spirit of Baja come together in perfect harmony,” said Sordo Madaleno lead architect.
Sordo Madaleno drew inspiration from historic elements of Mexican architecture and a contemporary reinterpretation of courtyards, arcades, water features, and timber structures, reimagining them through a timeless language to create spaces that engage with the environment and elevate the sensory experience of the guests.
This approach extends into the 163 guestrooms and 88 suites that range from 452 to 1,254 square feet in scale. Each room offers ocean or resort views that invite guests to pause and take in the surrounding beauty. Private terraces or patios, deep soaking tubs, and walk-in showers establish a personal refuge of comfort and quiet, while select accommodations with private plunge pools deepen the sense of seclusion. Among the resort’s distinctive sanctuaries are its three ocean-view private villas – ideal for families and multi-generational stays. These include two-bedroom villas with 1,995 square feet indoors and a 1,575-square-foot patio with a private pool, as well as a Presidential three-bedroom villa offering 3,202 square feet indoors, a 3,131-square-foot terrace, and a private lap pool. Each suite and villa is accompanied by a resort ambassador and features full kitchens and generous living areas – creating a home-like retreat where elevated design meets profound ease.
For those dreaming of making their stay permanent, Park Hyatt Cabo del Sol extends beyond a stay to those who call it home. A collection of 11 villas and eight apartments are available for purchase in four- to six-bedroom configurations to embody the brand’s modern approach to coastal luxury. Fully turnkey and furnished, each residence highlights biophilic design principles and locally sourced materials such as hand-finished stone, native woods and custom furnishings that honor Mexican craftsmanship. These elements come together to create private havens where architecture, nature, and daily living exist in harmonious balance.
“Being a part of the opening of the first Park Hyatt property in Mexico here in Cabo del Sol is an honorable moment for our team,” said Adam Zilber, General Manager, Park Hyatt Cabo del Sol. “In a destination celebrated for its natural beauty and cultural richness, we invite guests to slow down, be present, and feel truly taken care of as they experience Baja with meaning and intention—through architecture inspired by the desert and sea, cuisine rooted in local tradition, collaborations with local Mexican artisans and the modern elegance that defines the Park Hyatt experience.”
"The debut of Park Hyatt Cabo del Sol is a keystone moment in RLH Properties’ disciplined strategy to redefine ultra-luxury hospitality in Mexico" said Luis Duran, CEO of RLH Properties. "By selectively integrating this world-class asset, we are cementing our role as the visionary stewards of Los Cabos’ most coveted stretch of coastline, driving enduring value for our stakeholders and setting a new benchmark for excellence."
Elevated Dining Defined by Vision and Craft – Culinary
The resort opens with a distinct collection of dining venues and experiences, including Costamar, a refined beach club serving coastal fare and handcrafted cocktails for lunch, pool, and beach service, with sweeping views of the Sea of Cortéz; Mesa Madre, a soulful Mexican restaurant rooted in the comfort of abuela’s home-cooking and the joy of gathering with loved ones; and Dátil Coffee Shop, an all-day café serving artisanal coffee from Mexico and house-made pastries and baked goods.
Leading the culinary vision at Park Hyatt Cabo del Sol is Executive Chef Miguel Gomez, whose expertise shapes each restaurant’s menu, telling a story through flavor, heritage, and setting:
Mesa Madre pays tribute to the abuela figure of Mexican and Latin American kitchens. Open throughout the day, the restaurant offers a welcoming space to gather, serving dishes that evolve with the hours of the sun and highlight the diversity and warmth of Mexico’s culinary traditions.
Costamar Beach Club delivers a toes-in-the-sand, coastal California-inspired dining experience – with expansive ocean views, the menu includes antojitos, small plates and signature cocktails, showcasing seafood and seasonal flavors. The bar transitions seamlessly from day to evening, creating a relaxed yet lively atmosphere.
Dátil Coffee Shop is a specialty coffee bar and artisanal bakery featuring beans sourced from Mexico’s renowned coffee regions—including Chiapas, Oaxaca and Veracruz—alongside house-made pastries and baked goods, artisanal chocolates and a thoughtful tea selection.
Silán, the resort’s signature restaurant, is expected to debut in spring 2026 and bring Levantine cuisine to Los Cabos with influences from North Africa and the Middle East, shaped by seasonal Baja ingredients. The restaurant will offer an evening experience complete with a private wine cellar featuring Old World labels and a cocktail program.
Wellness Inspired by the Elements – Araya Spa
Wellness plays a central role at the resort, beginning with a 59,000-square-foot fitness and wellness center, one of the largest in the region. Guests can enjoy a dedicated yoga studio, a beachside lap pool, and a 24-hour expertly designed fitness facility.
Expected to open in Q1 2026, Araya Spa will be a holistic oasis where its menu is shaped by thoughtful personalization, reflecting the calm, restorative pace of Baja California Sur. Each treatment is named for the intention it is designed to evoke, offering guests an intuitive way to choose the experience that aligns with how they wish to unwind, reset or restore. Whether seeking Inner Calm, a gentle invitation to pause and breathe; Release, a therapeutic journey that eases deep tension or Soothe, a hot-stone massage that improves circulation and quiets the mind, experiences pair tailored aromatherapy with intentional techniques.
A highlight is the Sunrise Ritual, a 120-minute face and body experience designed to awaken the senses just as the sun rises over the horizon. This treatment begins with a sea salt exfoliation to stimulate circulation, followed by a mineral-rich red clay wrap and an invigorating massage that restores natural vitality. A hydrating facial completes the journey, leaving guests renewed and radiant.
Araya Spa will also feature Araya Salon, for elevated beauty and grooming with treatments that nourish and rejuvenate from head to toe. Highlights include the Araya Hand and Feet Ritual, featuring natural ingredients like avocado, lime, agave and mint, alongside manicures, pedicures and express polish services. The salon also provides a menu of personalized hair care, including professional haircuts and blowouts as well as occasion styling.
A Destination for Celebrations and Connection – Meetings & Events
