The Cape, a Thompson Hotel, is Cabo's chicest design-forward boutique, perched on a cliff overlooking El Arco and the Pacific Ocean. The resort's signature is its rooftop infinity pool, where sunset DJ sessions draw both guests and Cabo locals for cocktails and music as the sun drops behind Lands End. Two restaurants, ME Cabo beach club access, and The Cellar wine bar give couples plenty of dining and drinking options, while the contemporary architecture and El Arco views distinguish it from chain luxury resorts. It is the top pick for design-conscious couples seeking a stylish, social escape with the best sunset views in Cabo.
Who It's Best For
