One hundred and seventy-four rooms on Santa Maria Bay — one of Cabo's few swimmable beaches. Opened 2018 as Montage's Mexico flagship.
"174 rooms on Santa Maria Bay — one of Cabo's few swimmable beaches. Montage's Mexico flagship, opened 2018."
Montage Los Cabos opened in May 2018 on Santa Maria Bay on Cabo's Pacific corridor — a horseshoe-shaped bay with calm, swimmable waters that is unusual for the otherwise wave-prone Cabo Pacific corridor — as Montage Hotels & Resorts' Mexico flagship. The property's defining geographic advantage is the swimmable beach. Many of Cabo's luxury resorts have spectacular ocean views but waters that are too rough for safe swimming; Montage is one of the few exceptions, with a calm-water bay that has made the property particularly popular with families and couples who want the swim-from-beach experience.
The 174 accommodations split between the entry-level Casita Suites (with private terraces and Sea of Cortez views), the Ocean View Suites and Casitas (the larger one- and two-bedroom configurations), and the multi-bedroom Montage Residences (three- to five-bedroom standalone villas with private pools, full kitchens, and butler service). Every accommodation has a private terrace and ocean views; every category gets the Montage butler standard.
The grounds — the swimmable Santa Maria Bay, the multi-pool complex, Spa Montage (one of the larger luxury hotel spas in Cabo at over 4,000 square metres), the fitness centre, the kids' Paintbox children's club, and the multi-restaurant complex — make Montage one of the more comprehensively-resort-equipped Cabo properties. The kids' Paintbox programme is among the strongest at any Cabo luxury resort. The wellness programme runs both group and personalised options.
Dining is at four main restaurants. Marea is the headline Mediterranean-Mexican fine-dining. Mezcal is the small-plates Mexican specialty venue with one of Cabo's deeper mezcal collections. The Beach Club is the all-day. Toro Latin Cuisine is the steakhouse. The wine and tequila programmes are comprehensive. Service is the consistent Montage standard delivered by a heavily Mexican team. Montage is the family-luxury Cabo answer for travellers who want the swimmable beach, the comprehensive resort facilities, and Montage's operational discipline.
The Cabo honeymoon for couples who specifically want the swimmable beach. Santa Maria Bay's calm water means the snorkel-from-the-beach experience that most Cabo resorts cannot offer. Book a Casita Suite with ocean view. The Marea Mediterranean dinner; the Spa Montage couples' programme; the Sea of Cortez snorkel.
Montage Los Cabos's combination of the swimmable beach, the Paintbox kids' programme, the multi-bedroom Residences, and the comprehensive resort facilities makes this Cabo's strongest family-luxury choice. The Pool Complex has dedicated kids' areas and adult-only zones. The integrated resort approach works for multi-generational trips.
Spa Montage Los Cabos at over 4,000 square metres is one of the larger luxury hotel spas in Cabo, with a comprehensive treatment menu and group wellness programmes. For travellers who want the wellness side of the trip to be substantive, paired with the Pacific-corridor beach setting.
