A quieter side of Los Cabos is taking shape.
For years, Cabo Del Sol has been synonymous with remarkable golf, open desert landscapes, and a coastline framed by the Sea of Cortez. Set along the Golden Corridor, it has always offered a sense of space close to Cabo San Lucas, yet distinctly removed from its faster rhythm.
In 2026, there is more unfolding around it.
New places to dine, gather, shop, and slow down are reshaping the experience of Cabo Del Sol. The arrival of Park Hyatt, the continued growth of Ánima Village, the presence of Four Seasons, and the upcoming Soho Beach House are creating a destination where more of the day can happen close to home.
The appeal is not about having more to do. It is about having more within reach.
Cabo Del Sol Golf: Beyond the Fairways
The Cabo Del Sol golf story began decades ago, helping establish this stretch of Los Cabos as an international golf destination. Today, Cabo Del Sol is home to two distinct courses: the private Cove Club Course, formerly the Ocean Course, and the Cabo Del Sol Course, formerly known as the Desert Course. The latter combines desert terrain, canyon-like arroyos, changing elevations, and ocean views across all 18 holes.
Is Cabo del Sol Golf Course Public?
For travelers wondering whether the Cabo Del Sol golf course is public, the distinction between the two courses matters. The Cove Club Course is reserved for members and their guests. Access and tee-time policies for the Cabo Del Sol Course should always be confirmed directly when planning a round.
Yet golf no longer defines the entire day. A morning on the course can now flow naturally into lunch by the water, an afternoon of shopping, or a long dinner nearby.
That shift is part of what makes Cabo Del Sol especially interesting in 2026.
Park Hyatt Brings a New Rhythm to Cabo Del Sol
The opening of Park Hyatt Cabo Del Sol in December 2025 marked an important new chapter for the community. The resort debuted with 163 rooms and suites and an extensive collection of dining, beach, and wellness experiences.
For those spending time in Cabo Del Sol, its restaurants add new possibilities throughout the day. Mesa Madre looks to the traditions of Mexican home cooking, while Dátil Coffee Shop & Bakery pairs specialty Mexican coffee with house-made pastries. Silán explores Levantine flavors influenced by North Africa and the Middle East. At Costamar Beach Club, the mood moves toward the coast, with seafood, seasonal ingredients, and cocktails overlooking the Sea of Cortez.
Wellness has been given equal consideration. The resort opened with a 59,000-square-foot fitness and wellness center, including a yoga studio, lap pool, fitness facilities, and Araya Spa.
Together, these additions create something more valuable than a long list of amenities: choice. Coffee can become a slow morning. Lunch can linger by the sea. An afternoon can be left entirely unplanned.
Ánima Village Changes the Way a Day Can Unfold
Perhaps no addition better represents the changing character of Cabo Del Sol than Ánima Village.
Rather than a conventional shopping center, Ánima Village brings retail, gastronomy, art, nature, wellness, and community together in an open-air setting. Its evolving mix now spans more than 84 brands and experiences, giving Cabo Del Sol shopping a much broader identity than it had only a few years ago.
Names such as Brunello Cucinelli, Golden Goose, Zimmermann, Farm Rio, Rag & Bone, Alo, Lululemon, and Assouline sit alongside dining and cultural experiences.
For a villa stay, that proximity subtly changes the rhythm of a day.
A morning round of golf does not need to be followed by a drive into Cabo San Lucas. An afternoon might move instead toward coffee, a little shopping, art, or dinner at Ánima Village before returning home.
Nothing needs to be tightly scheduled.
Four Seasons and the Social Side of Cabo Del Sol
Four Seasons Resort Cabo Del Sol has helped establish another dimension of the neighborhood: a setting for dining and social experiences that extend beyond the traditional resort stay.
One example is Friday evening at La Plaza Mágica. Mariachi music, local art, Mexican specialties, wines, and spirits fill the resort’s modern hacienda setting, followed perhaps by cocktails or dinner. The experience welcomes not only resort guests, but also travelers and Cabo Del Sol residents.
It is a small detail that says something larger about the area.
Cabo Del Sol is becoming increasingly interconnected. Resort restaurants, community spaces, golf, shopping, and residential life can coexist within the same day without making that day feel busy.
Coming Later in 2026: Soho Beach House Los Cabos
Soho Beach House Los Cabos is expected to open later in 2026, bringing the members’ club concept to Cabo Del Sol. Plans include a Beach Club, Cecconi’s Costiera, Sunset and Cabaret Bar, Soho Health Club, pool, gym, and 15 bedrooms.
The project is particularly significant because it will add another social and culinary layer to the area while complementing the privacy and sense of place that have long distinguished Cabo Del Sol.
For now, it belongs to what comes next rather than what travelers can experience today. But its arrival reinforces a broader evolution already underway.
What to Do in Cabo Del Sol, at Your Own Pace
Golf can still begin the morning. Lunch can unfold by the sea at Costamar or around one of the area’s growing collection of restaurants. Ánima Village can fill an afternoon with shopping, art, coffee, or simply time outside. Friday can lead to mariachi and dinner at Four Seasons. Soon, Soho Beach House will add another place to gather.
But the better question is not how much can fit into one day.
It is how little needs to be planned.
That is increasingly the appeal of staying in Cabo Del Sol. More of Los Cabos has come closer, while the privacy, open horizons, and unhurried rhythm that define this part of the coast remain.
The day is yours to shape.
