Viceroy Los Cabos

"A resort with unbroken ocean views and luxurious villas with rooftop pools." - CNT Editors

"How did it strike you on arrival?Opened as Mar Adentro, Viceroy has taken over this stunning Miguel Ángel Aragonés-designed resort that's just minutes from town (San José del Cabo). Built from glass and concrete, the hotel has seven different buildings for guest rooms, all offering unbroken views of the ocean beyond. What’s the crowd like?Well-heeled families and honeymooners. The good stuff: Tell us about your room.All rooms feel like a dreamscape, with floor-to-ceiling windows and private outdoor space. Villas even have rooftop pools. Decor is mostly white, with light wood accents, letting the stunning natural setting speak for itself. How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies. Any of that find its way into your suitcase?Rooms have customizable lighting, aromatherapy, and butler services. Tech is big part of the stay here, but it's integrated in a way that feels welcome and natural. Room service and food: Worth it?A new restaurant is opening in February 2022, bumping the total number of restaurants on site up to six. The dramatic Nido resembles a bird's nest and serves cuisine inspired by Mexico and Japan. Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you.The property's renovation brings an impressive new fitness center, designed by celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak. Bottom line: worth it, and why?Worth it. A stunning modern hotel that's close to nature and far from typical Cabo." - Laura Ratliff

"Arriving at Viceroy Los Cabos (formerly Mar Adentro) is like getting a glimpse into the future of hospitality. Linked by a seemingly boundless plane of water, a series of minimalist white cubes—housing a rooftop bar, spa, world-class fitness center, movie theater, and more—rises from the desert landscape like a mirage, the work of Mexican architect Miguel Angel Aragonés. The view is memorable at Nido, a ceviche restaurant that sits under a nestlike dome of twigs. Equally striking are the 104 modernist guest rooms. Unlike the region’s traditional stucco and terra-cotta haciendas, they’re serenely spare, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Sea of Cortez and tablets that guests can use to create their own lighting concept."

"This sleek, sexy Cabo resort is proof that “Resort View” doesn’t always mean you’re settling. Most of the “Resort View Junior Suites” at the Viceroy Los Cabos come with their own outdoor hot tub plunge pools. Call the hotel at the time of booking to make sure you score one—the modern architecture, striking views, and dazzlingly neutral palette make for an unforgettable Cabo experience."
