A New Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Just Opened in Los Cabos

By: Karen Udler - July 7, 2025 - 12:06 pm

LOS CABOS — It begins with the arches. Whitewashed adobe, sun-baked tiles, and palms stretching skyward, as if to greet the Sea of Cortez. This is Hacienda del Mar Los Cabos, and after a full-scale transformation, it is now Marriott Bonvoy’s very first all-inclusive resort in Los Cabos — and a bold new chapter for one of the Pacific coast’s most beloved beachfront properties.

Reborn under the Autograph Collection flag, the resort blends centuries-old colonial charm with Marriott’s signature polish. But don’t mistake this for a cookie-cutter conversion. Hacienda del Mar hasn’t been modernized out of memory — it’s been elevated with memory in mind.

From the moment guests step into the open-air lobby, they’re immersed in a story of place: hand-carved woodwork, bursts of bougainvillea, and curated Mexican artisan touches that echo the soul of Baja. The resort’s 270 rooms and suites have been completely reimagined, where traditional textures meet modern ease — upgraded furnishings, walk-in showers, and vibrant color palettes designed to reflect the energy of Los Cabos.

What’s new is what sets this debut apart. For the first time, guests can experience an all-inclusive format that feels bespoke rather than boxed. That means world-class dining that goes far beyond the buffet — eight distinct culinary venues, each with a sense of theater. There’s beachfront ceviche at Tortugas, fine regional cuisine at Pitahayas, and candlelit Italian at Trattoria Pomodoro. Want something unexpected? Descend into the subterranean Cava de Santiago for a private wine tasting in the cellar.

The experience doesn’t stop at the table. Every corner of Hacienda del Mar is now programmed with discovery in mind. Mornings might begin with yoga in the gardens. Afternoons might bring Frida Kahlo–inspired painting sessions, mezcal tastings, or a deep dive into the Cactus Spa’s ancestral wellness rituals. There’s live music echoing through the courtyard by evening, and something new always around the corner.

Families are welcome here, but serenity is also sacred. The resort offers five pools across its tropical footprint, with dedicated zones for adults, families, and those who want to toggle between tranquility and play. A vibrant kids’ club keeps younger guests entertained, while grownups sip cocktails in a hammock-slung beachfront cabana.

For those planning something bigger — a retreat, a conference, a destination wedding — the numbers speak volumes. With more than 31,000 square feet of event space and a ballroom that can host up to 1,600 guests, this is now one of the premier venues in Los Cabos for large-scale gatherings, all backed by Marriott’s trusted global infrastructure.

“We are thrilled to introduce the first All-Inclusive property from the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio in this iconic location,” said Brian King, President of Marriott International for the Caribbean and Latin America. “This milestone reflects our commitment to evolving with traveler preferences while delivering the exceptional service and unique experiences that define our brands.”

And that’s really what this opening represents: a shift in what all-inclusive can mean. Yes, there’s unlimited food and drink. But here, it’s not about excess — it’s about access. Access to culture, to heritage, to the best of Mexico’s Pacific soul in one seamlessly curated experience.

Hacienda del Mar is still the icon it’s always been. But now, it’s something more — a new standard for all-inclusive luxury in Los Cabos.
