Grand Velas Los Cabos: Beyond All Inclusive, Beyond Compare

Photography by Eddie Sanchez

There’s a place that’s sunny and beautiful where the ocean breeze sweeps through the swaying palm trees. You relax by the pool, looking out to the Sea of Cortez while drinking a perfectly made cocktail. You sip, savor, and unwind, listening to the roaring sound of the waves crashing on the shore. This is the ultimate getaway in a real life paradise - and it’s only a two hour plane ride from LA. Welcome to Grand Velas Los Cabos.

The newly opened beachfront resort is your ultimate luxury escape, boasting dramatic ocean views and unique spaces throughout the property. As soon as you walk through the impressive open-air entrance that’s over three stories tall, your eyes catch views of the water while you stand 300 feet above sea level. Grand and spectacular are understatements, as you check-in to one of 304 ocean view suites with private terraces and some with personal plunge pools.

Beyond all-inclusive is the experience at Grand Velas Los Cabos. Yes, I know you have experienced all-inclusive before, but trust me, not like this. An elevated premium beverage program is on-sight offering the best spirits, beers and wine. There are five fine dining restaurants led by executive chef Juan Licerio Alcala and featuring two star Michelin chef Sidney Schutte. It’s hard to believe that the food served here is from an all-inclusive resort because until you have stayed at Grand Velas Los Cabos, your view on all-inclusive was probably never this luxurious. Dining is very much a highlight of staying here and that's why the resort should be on every food-loving traveler’s list of places to visit. The cuisine at Grand Velas, without a doubt, is the best we’ve ever had from any all-inclusive resort.

Of course a true Cabo getaway isn't complete without a visit to the spa. The two-level, 35,000 sq. ft. Spa at Grand Velas Los Cabos is one of the best spa experiences you’ll have. Your treatment is preceded by a seven step water journey that features a eucalyptus-scented steam room with chromotherapy, polar pool, aromatherapy sensory shower, sauna, Jacuzzi and multi-sensory pool. The main pool features several hydro elements such as powerful massaging faucets for your neck and back, as well as bubble beds - carved-stone chaises with jets set right underneath the surface of the water on which you recline. A spa valet provides personalized direction to make sure you get the most out of the truly relaxing hydrotherapy experience. Upon completion of the journey, you recline on heated loungers with warm neck pillows, cool scented towels and cucumbers on the eyes to ensure the body is fully relaxed and ready for your massage.
