Why stay here
A different pace of Los Cabos
San José del Cabo is the older, more traditional of the two Los Cabos towns, and the municipal seat of the region.
Its historic centre is built around a shaded plaza and mission church, with streets of art galleries, boutiques and restaurants that come alive in the evening. Compared with Cabo San Lucas, the mood is calmer, and many travelers like that it is the closest town to Los Cabos International Airport.
East of town, Puerto Los Cabos adds a marina, golf and newer residential neighbourhoods, while Palmilla and the Tourist Corridor begin just to the west.
