If you want to say “I do” with, arguably, the best view in Cabo San Lucas, allow me to introduce you to The Cape. El Arco, the iconic granite arch rising from the sea at the meeting point of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez, is visible from virtually every vantage point on this property!

Part of Hyatt’s Thompson Hotels collection, The Cape also sits at the tip of the Baja Peninsula above Monuments Beach, a world-renowned surf break that gives the property both its name and its laid-back personality. Upon arrival, the open-air lobby’s architecture acts like a picture frame to the Cabo Bay. A giant whale constructed from driftwood found along the property’s shoreline welcomes you to this paradise by the sea. As you are ushered into the property’s living room, clean lines, volcanic rock, and copper accents keep the sparkling, deep blue waters of the Pacific front and center.

For couples considering Cabo San Lucas as a destination wedding location, The Cape makes a strong case not only as a ceremony venue but as a full-service wedding weekend destination, with the dining, accommodations and event spaces to support a multi-day celebration with style and opulence.

Rooms, Suites, and Residences at The Cape Cabo San Lucas

Modern hotel room with large windows and a balcony overlooking the ocean, featuring a telescope, seating area, and scenic coastal view.

The property offers 159 guest rooms, suites, villas, and residences, ranging from one to three bedrooms, all with unobstructed ocean views and private balconies. The design aesthetic across all categories is consistent: mid-century Latin American furnishings, rainfall showers, freestanding copper-leafed tubs, and cotton kimono robes. Panoramic suites and select rooms add private plunge pools to the mix, which makes them a natural fit for honeymooners looking to spend a morning with the Sea of Cortez as their backdrop and nowhere specific to be.

For wedding groups traveling with family, the property’s residential side is worth a close look. The Cape’s residences function more like private homes within the resort than standard hotel accommodations, each with fully equipped kitchens, separate living areas, and dedicated outdoor spaces.

At the top of the collection sits the Ocean View Penthouse, one of the property’s most expansive offerings. It accommodates up to six guests across three bedrooms (convertible to four) and two stories with multiple terraces, a plunge pool, an outdoor grill, a fully equipped kitchen, and so many amenities it’ll knock your socks off. For the couple who want immediate family close at hand or to have a space large enough to host some of the pre-wedding gatherings, this is the play.

Culinary Experiences Fit for a Foodie Couple

A multi-day wedding celebration requires a dynamic culinary lineup, and The Cape delivers with distinct concepts that keep guests energized and entertained without ever needing to leave the property.

The crown jewel of the resort’s dining scene is Manta, the signature oceanfront restaurant conceived by Michelin-starred Mexican chef Enrique Olvera. Designed as a sleek black box that frames the coastal view, Manta celebrates Pacific Coast cultures by infusing local, sustainable Baja ingredients with culinary influences from Peru and Japan. Hosting a rehearsal dinner or an intimate welcome reception here introduces guests to an elevated, seafood-forward menu.

For more casual, breezy gatherings, The Ledge offers a beach house-inspired atmosphere where modern Mexican cuisine meets traditional American favorites. It is the ideal spot for a relaxed farewell brunch, featuring their famous Cape Toast (a delectable take on French toast topped with fresh fruit), or casual lunches overlooking the pool. You can also reserve the space for the ultimate rehearsal dinner with a view!

Steps away in the open-air lobby, the Sunken Bar features a raw bar curated by the Manta team, timeless beach cocktails, and regular DJ sets, making it a natural hub for late-night custom nightcaps or midday mingling.

Down by the shore, Point Break serves up fresh crudos, catch-of-the-day ceviche, and tacos on handmade tortillas at the swim-up bar, ensuring the social vibe stays strong all weekend long.

Pre-Wedding Pampering at Currents Spa

Beyond the dining and social spaces, the property offers a built-in sanctuary for couples and their wedding parties to unwind before the big day. Currents Spa is tucked away in a natural rock formation, offering a moody, sub-level atmosphere that feels entirely secluded from the rest of the resort.

The design relies on subtle lighting, dark charcoal tones, and the soothing sound of crashing waves to induce instant relaxation. For a truly memorable pre-wedding treat, couples can book a massage in one of the outdoor cabanas, which face the ocean and allow the sea breeze to accompany the treatment. The spa also features a hot-and-cold plunge pool area, a steam room, and a serene, intimate lounge space, making it a stellar location for a bridal party wellness morning or a quiet moment of connection for the nearlyweds before the festivities begin. Additionally, hair and makeup services for the bride are available through the spa, eliminating the need for another outside vendor.

Incomparable Backdrops for Nuptials

When it comes to the main event, the property offers a curated selection of indoor and outdoor spaces that can accommodate everything from intimate elopements to large-scale productions.

For couples wanting a celebration featuring incredible sunsets and an al fresco situation, The Rooftop stands out as one of the premier event spots in Baja. Located high above the surf, this expansive lounge features a built-in bar, sunken communal seating, serene water features, and fire pits. It provides a sweeping panoramic view of downtown Cabo San Lucas, making it the perfect setting for a sunset ceremony, a lively cocktail hour, or a starlit reception dance floor.

Lanterns are placed on the floor nearby.

Couples looking for an intimate, natural aesthetic can opt for the beachfront spaces near Monuments Beach, where the natural rock formations and crashing waves provide a built-in soundtrack. For indoor receptions or weather backups, the property features contemporary meeting and event facilities that maintain the resort’s signature mid-century Latin American design and floor-to-ceiling glass layout, ensuring the Sea of Cortez is never out of sight.
