ABOUT SAN JOSÉ DEL CABO
Los Cabos’ cultural heart — colonial charm meets Sea of Cortez sophistication
San José del Cabo is the quieter, more culturally rich counterpart to Cabo San Lucas, sitting 20 miles east along the Tourist Corridor. Founded as a mission town in 1730, San José retains its colonial Mexican character with cobblestone streets, a historic central plaza, the 18th-century Missión de San José del Cabo church, and a thriving Art District filled with galleries, boutiques, and artisan workshops. The weekly Thursday Art Walk (November–June) transforms downtown into an open-air celebration of Baja art and culture, drawing collectors and art lovers from around the world.
Beyond its cultural appeal, San José del Cabo is home to some of the region’s finest dining, anchored by Flora’s Field Kitchen (a celebrated farm-to-table restaurant on an organic farm) and a growing scene of chef-driven restaurants blending Baja Mediterranean cuisine with fresh local seafood. The town sits closest to Los Cabos International Airport (SJD, just 15 minutes away) and offers easy access to the Corridor’s best beaches, including the swimmable Palmilla Beach and the surfer-favorite Costa Azul. Puerto Los Cabos, a newer luxury development east of town, features two championship golf courses (Greg Norman and Jack Nicklaus designs) and a growing collection of luxury villas and condominiums.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS — SAN JOSÉ DEL CABO VILLAS
Where is San José del Cabo?
San José del Cabo sits at the eastern end of the Los Cabos region, on the Sea of Cortez coast of the Baja California Peninsula. It’s the closest major town to Los Cabos International Airport (SJD, just 15 minutes away) and is connected to Cabo San Lucas (20 miles west) by the scenic Tourist Corridor highway. San José is the older, more culturally rich of the two Los Cabos towns.
What makes San José del Cabo different from Cabo San Lucas?
San José del Cabo offers a quieter, more culturally immersive experience compared to Cabo San Lucas’s vibrant nightlife and marina scene. San José is known for its colonial architecture, Art District with weekly Thursday Art Walk, farm-to-table dining, and boutique shopping. Cabo San Lucas is the place for sportfishing, nightlife, and El Arco boat tours. Many guests split their time between both — the 20-mile Corridor connects them easily.
What services are included in a San José del Cabo villa rental?
Every San José del Cabo villa booked through Villa Experience includes a private chef or cook (2–3 meals per day, groceries at cost), daily housekeeping, and a dedicated concierge. Many villas include a butler and pool attendant. Your concierge arranges Art Walk tours, Flora’s Field Kitchen reservations, golf tee times at Puerto Los Cabos and Palmilla courses, fishing charters, whale watching, snorkeling, and airport transfers from SJD.
Is San José del Cabo good for families?
Yes — San José del Cabo is an excellent family destination. The town’s relaxed pace, safe streets, and cultural activities provide a welcoming environment. Nearby Palmilla Beach is one of the region’s best swimmable beaches for children. The Art District offers engaging galleries and workshops, and organic farm visits (like Flora Farms) are popular family excursions. Golf courses, snorkeling, and whale watching round out the family activities.
