All eyes are on luxury in Los Cabos. As part of Virtuoso Travel Week, held last week in Las Vegas, Travel Agent sat down with Ruben Reachi, secretary of tourism for Baja California Sur and Eduardo Segura, managing director of Los Cabos Tourism Board, who told us about the slew of luxury openings slated for the destination.

Next year Los Cabos is scheduled to open a Thompson Cabo San Lucas with 115 rooms. There will also be The Resort at Diamante, which will have 120 unites over three phases. Park Hyatt is also in the works, with 196 guest rooms and 36 residences. The anticipated Ritz-Carlton Reserve will also open with 124 villas, as will a JW Marriott with 300 rooms.
There are currently 14,000 hotel rooms in Los Cabos and 1,300 under construction.
“We are working hard to have more flights to Los Cabos and our airlift is growing fast,” Reachi says.
To that end, earlier this summer, the Los Cabos Tourism Board announced two new flights on Delta Air Lines from San Diego and Seattle, and a new non-stop flight from New York’s JFK International Airport. All flights will begin in December. The three new flights will be accompanied by increased frequencies from other U.S. cities. Soutwest Airlines also recently launched nonstop flights to Los Cabos (and Cancun, but who’s counting?). The nonstop routes previously served by wholly owned subsidiary AirTran Airways now operate daily between Orange County/Santa Ana and San Jose del Cabo/Los Cabos.
