Los Cabos is made up of twin towns, Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, joined by a resort corridor of desert coastline. It pairs that scenery with some of Mexico's most developed expat infrastructure. San José del Cabo's historic art district and the marina life of Cabo San Lucas draw a mix of retirees, remote workers, and seasonal residents. Direct flights from most major US and Canadian cities make it one of the easiest Mexico destinations to reach, and English is widely spoken in business and healthcare.
- Direct flights from dozens of US/Canada cities
- Two distinct towns: historic San José and marina-side Cabo San Lucas
- Well-established healthcare and English-speaking services
- Golf, sportfishing, and whale watching (Dec-Apr)
- Dry desert climate, little of the Yucatán humidity
