The Perks

Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits at Four Seasons Los Cabos

The program benefits are the same at every hotel. What changes is what they are worth. This is how each one works at this property.

01

Breakfast for two at Estiatorio Milos

Full breakfast for two per bedroom at Estiatorio Milos, which serves breakfast à la carte from 7:00 to 11:30 am beside the beach, or through in-room dining on your terrace. The resort is an hour from the nearest town, so every meal is eaten at resort prices, and breakfast is the benefit worth the most over a week.

02

$100 hotel credit, $200 in suites

One credit per stay, to use at the restaurants, bars or Oasis Spa. At Costa Palmas the credit goes furthest at lunch at Casa de Brasa or El Puesto. At Milos or Zest it is a contribution to dinner, not the whole bill.

03

Upgrade priority

A one-category upgrade when available at check-in. Every guest room is about 680 sq ft, so an upgrade here buys a better view or a plunge pool: from an Ocean-View Room to a Prime Ocean-View Room on a higher floor, or to an Oceanfront Room in the front row.

04

Early check-in and late checkout

Priority for both. The drive from Los Cabos airport takes about an hour each way, so an early room on arrival and a late checkout before the return transfer both make a real difference.

05

VIP recognition

A welcome amenity and a VIP note on the reservation. The resort spreads along two miles of beach, so we tell Four Seasons whether you want to be near the family pool and Casa de Brasa or near the adults-only East Cape pool.

06

Combines with Four Seasons offers

Preferred Partner benefits apply on top of the resort's own offers, such as fourth-night-free promotions when they run. We check what is available for your dates when we quote.

Advisor Picks

Best rooms to book at Four Seasons Los Cabos

Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas has 141 rooms and suites, 114 rooms and 27 suites, in low buildings of up to three floors. Every room has a view of the Sea of Cortez and a private terrace, and the bathrooms have a freestanding soaking tub. All guest rooms are about 680 sq ft, so the categories differ by floor, view and whether there is a plunge pool.

Best value

Ocean-View Room

The Ocean-View Room is the entry category, about 680 sq ft on floors one to three, with a king bed or two doubles and a sofa bed. The bathroom runs the length of the room, with double sinks, a soaking tub and a walk-in shower. The sea is in view, though less directly than from the categories above.

Couples who want the view

Prime Ocean-View Room

The Prime Ocean-View Room is the same 680 sq ft room on the second and third floors. The extra height gives a wider view over the gardens and the pools to the sea, which makes it the best balance of view and price.

Privacy

Ocean-View Room with Plunge Pool

The Ocean-View Room with Plunge Pool is a ground-floor room with a private plunge pool and seating on the terrace. The terrace is private, but the plunge pool rooms trade some of the sea view for that privacy. Book it for the pool, not the panorama.

The closest to the beach

Oceanfront Room

The Oceanfront Room sits in the front row on the first and second floors, with a king bed and the most direct view of the Sea of Cortez. This is the category to request for sunrise from the terrace.

Families who need space

Executive and One-Bedroom Suites

Executive Suites are about 850 sq ft with a living area. One-Bedroom Suites are about 1,020 sq ft, in ocean-view and oceanfront versions, with a separate living room for children on the sofa bed.

Multigenerational stays

Sunrise Suites and the Presidential Villa

The Sunrise Suites are about 1,600 sq ft, and some have a plunge pool. The Beachfront Presidential Villa has three bedrooms across about 3,475 sq ft, with its own plunge pools. Four Seasons Private Residences in the Costa Palmas community add larger homes for groups.

Where your room sits matters at a resort this spread out. Families are happiest near the family pool and Casa de Brasa. Couples usually prefer the end nearer the adults-only East Cape pool. Floor and position within a category are requests, not guarantees, so tell us which matters most and we will ask early.

Before You Go

Advisor tips for Four Seasons Los Cabos

01

Know which Cabo Four Seasons you are booking

Four Seasons has two resorts in Los Cabos, more than an hour's drive apart. Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas is on the quiet East Cape, about an hour from the airport, with 141 rooms and a two-mile swimmable beach on the Sea of Cortez. Four Seasons Resort and Residences Cabo San Lucas at Cabo del Sol is on the main corridor, 30 to 45 minutes from the airport and 20 minutes from both towns, with casitas above a small rocky cove. Choose Costa Palmas for the beach and seclusion, and Cabo del Sol for restaurants and nightlife nearby.

02

Budget for the service charge and tax

Four Seasons Los Cabos adds a taxable 15 percent service charge to the room rate, on top of Mexico's 16 percent VAT and the state lodging tax. Together they add roughly a third to the nightly rate. We give you the full total with your quote.

03

Plan to stay on the resort

Costa Palmas is a private community of about 1,500 acres, and the nearest towns, La Ribera and Los Barriles, are small. Most guests eat every meal within Costa Palmas, which has a dozen restaurants between the resort and Marina Village. Hire a car only for the days you plan to explore the East Cape.

04

Book Zest and Delphine before you arrive

Zest seats a maximum of 12 guests at one table for a single nine-course dinner each night, so it fills first. Delphine, the beach club, opens Wednesday to Sunday from noon to 6:00 pm and asks for reservations. Give us your dates and we will book both.

05

Use the water taxi

A complimentary water taxi runs from the resort's marina to Marina Village, where Mozza Baja, Chiki and Casena are. The same service, or a house car, runs guests to Delphine from Wednesday to Sunday. Check the day's schedule with the concierge.

06

Snorkel Cabo Pulmo with a guide

Cabo Pulmo National Park is a 17,571-acre marine protected area with one of the oldest living coral reefs in the Western Hemisphere. Snorkelling inside the park requires a guide and a flotation device, and the road in is partly dirt with no petrol station or cash machine. Book it through the resort or go by boat from the Costa Palmas marina.

07

Travelling with children

Kids For All Seasons at Four Seasons Los Cabos is complimentary for children aged 4 to 12 and runs daily from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. The family pool around Casa de Brasa has a sloped, beach-style entry, and the shallow arroyo pools suit small children. Babysitting can be arranged for evenings at Milos or Limón.

Where the Credit Goes

Dining at Four Seasons Los Cabos

Four Seasons Los Cabos has seven restaurants of its own, plus Delphine beach club and three venues in Marina Village a short water-taxi ride away. Executive Chef Paolo Della Corte, appointed in 2025, oversees the resort kitchens.

Mediterranean seafood, breakfast and dinner

Estiatorio Milos

Estiatorio Milos is Costas Spiliadis's Greek seafood restaurant, the brand's only location in Latin America, facing the beach. Breakfast runs from 7:00 to 11:30 am, and this is where the Preferred Partner breakfast is taken. Dinner, from 5:00 to 10:00 pm, is whole fish by weight and Greek mezze.

Wood-fired Mexican, dinner

Limón

Limón is set in a lemon grove near Oasis Spa and serves dinner nightly. The kitchen grills fish, meat and vegetables over fire and slow-cooks some meats in an underground barbacoa wrapped in banana leaves. Limón also hosts The Tasting Table, a quarterly chef's dinner drawing on the restaurants of Costa Palmas.

Baja brasserie, lunch and dinner

Casa de Brasa

Casa de Brasa sits inside the family pool, with casual Mexican plates at lunch and a more ambitious Mexican menu at dinner. It is the easy choice for families and for lunch between swims.

Ceviche and sushi, on the beach

El Puesto

El Puesto is a beachfront cevichería and sushi bar for tiraditos, crudos and ceviche by day. In the evening the bar serves an omakase.

Nine-course tasting menu

Zest

Zest is the smallest fine-dining restaurant in Los Cabos: one table for up to 12 guests, one seating a night, in the chef's private garden. The nine-course menu changes with the season.

Riviera-style beach club

Delphine

Delphine is the East Cape's first beach club, with a Niçoise-inspired menu by Michelin-starred chef Ludo Lefebvre, yellow umbrellas, spritzes and a DJ. It opens Wednesday to Sunday from noon to 6:00 pm, and the water taxi or a house car takes guests there.

Marina Village

Mozza Baja, Chiki and Casena

Mozza Baja is Nancy Silverton's Italian restaurant in Marina Village, with a Sunday brunch. Chiki is the East Cape's first nightclub and cocktail lounge, designed by Martin Brudnizki. Casena is a café and shop with coffee from Coffee Lab Baja, open from 7:30 am to 5:00 pm.

On Property

Beach, pools and spa at Four Seasons Los Cabos

Four Seasons Los Cabos is built for long days outdoors: a swimmable beach, seven pools, a sports club, a golf course and a marina are all inside the Costa Palmas community.

01

The beach

The resort faces a two-mile stretch of sand on the Sea of Cortez, one of the longest swimmable beaches in Los Cabos. Attendants set up loungers and umbrellas and serve food and drink. The water is calm on most days, with kayaks and paddleboards for guests and snorkelling close to shore.

02

Seven pools

The resort has seven pools: two family pools, three shallow arroyo pools, a lap pool at the sports club and the adults-only East Cape pool. The largest family pool wraps around Casa de Brasa and slopes in like a beach.

03

Oasis Spa

Oasis Spa covers 15,855 sq ft with ten treatment rooms, including two couples suites and two spa suites with outdoor lounges and plunge pools. There is a hydrotherapy area with steam and sauna, a Rossano Ferretti hair salon, and products by Tata Harper and Natura Bissé. The Grounded on the East Cape programme, launched in 2026, focuses on stress and sleep.

04

Sports club

The sports club is a two-storey gym with indoor and outdoor training areas, a weights room, a yoga and spin studio and the lap pool. Outside are two tennis courts, a basketball court, volleyball and paddle tennis.

05

Costa Palmas Golf Club and marina

The Costa Palmas Golf Club is an 18-hole course by Robert Trent Jones II, opened in 2019. The Costa Palmas Marina is the first marina at a Four Seasons resort, with yacht charters, sunset cruises, deep-sea fishing and dive trips to Cabo Pulmo.

06

Kids For All Seasons

The kids club runs on Explorer Island for children aged 4 to 12, complimentary for resort guests, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm daily. Oasis Spa offers treatments for children and teenagers.

Timing

When to visit Four Seasons Los Cabos

The East Cape is sunny and dry for most of the year. The choice is between whales and cool evenings in winter, warm clear water in summer and autumn, and the storm months to avoid.

December to April
High season. Humpback whales pass along the coast from mid-December to mid-April, and whale sharks gather off La Paz from December to March. Northerly winds blow along the East Cape in winter, so some days are breezy at the beach. Christmas, New Year and spring break are the busiest and most expensive weeks.
May and June
The shoulder season: hotter, quieter and better value, with the sea warming up and the wind dropping.
July to October
The water is at its warmest, and visibility at Cabo Pulmo reaches up to 100 feet. This is also hurricane season, and September and early October carry the most risk. Rates are at their lowest.
November
A good month: the heat has eased, the storms have passed and winter prices have not yet arrived.
Travel

Getting to Four Seasons Los Cabos

Four Seasons Los Cabos is at Costa Palmas, near La Ribera on the East Cape, about 41 miles (65 km) north-east of Los Cabos International Airport.

From Los Cabos airport (SJD)
Allow about an hour to an hour and ten minutes by car. We can arrange a private transfer through the resort, with a meet and greet at the airport.
By private jet
Private aircraft land at Los Cabos International (SJD), and the resort meets guests there for the drive to Costa Palmas. In November 2024 the resort partnered with Aero for semi-private jet service, so ask us about current flights.
By yacht
The Costa Palmas Marina receives private yachts, and arriving by sea is an easy way to combine the resort with a cruise along the Sea of Cortez.

Things to do near Four Seasons Los Cabos

The East Cape is the quieter side of Los Cabos, with reefs, small fishing towns and mountain trails close by.

01

Cabo Pulmo National Park

Cabo Pulmo is a marine protected area since 1995, with a living coral reef and more than 300 species of fish. Snorkelling and diving inside the park require a guide, and the resort runs boat trips from its marina.

The resort organises a day trip to La Paz from December to March, with a morning swim alongside whale sharks and an afternoon in town.

03

Sol de Mayo is a waterfall and pool in the Sierra de la Laguna mountains, reached by a short hike. The resort includes it in its East Cape wellness programme.

04

Four Seasons Los Cabos FAQs

What is the best way to book Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas?

The best way to book Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas is through a Four Seasons Preferred Partner travel advisor. The advisor books the official Four Seasons rate, with no booking fees, and the reservation adds daily breakfast for two, a $100 hotel credit and upgrade priority.

What are the Four Seasons Preferred Partner benefits at Four Seasons Los Cabos in 2026?

Daily breakfast for two per bedroom at Estiatorio Milos or through in-room dining, a $100 hotel credit per stay ($200 in suites), a one-category upgrade when available at check-in, priority for early check-in and late checkout, and a welcome amenity with VIP recognition.

Is Four Seasons Preferred Partner an official Four Seasons program?

Yes. Four Seasons Preferred Partner is Four Seasons' own program for invited travel advisors. The benefits are confirmed by the resort on the reservation, not added by a third party, and the rate is the official rate Four Seasons publishes.

Travel advisor vs Amex FHR vs booking direct: which is best for Four Seasons Los Cabos?

A Four Seasons Preferred Partner advisor and Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts (FHR) both add breakfast for two, a $100 credit and upgrade priority at Four Seasons Los Cabos. FHR also guarantees 4:00 pm checkout, but needs an Amex Platinum or Centurion card and a booking through Amex Travel. Preferred Partner needs no card, doubles the credit to $200 in suites and adds VIP recognition. Booking direct at fourseasons.com costs the same and adds none of these, because Four Seasons has no points programme. One booking can carry only one of the two benefit packages.

What is the difference between Four Seasons Los Cabos at Costa Palmas and Four Seasons Cabo San Lucas at Cabo del Sol?

Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas and Four Seasons Resort and Residences Cabo San Lucas at Cabo del Sol are two different resorts, more than an hour's drive apart.

Does Four Seasons Los Cabos charge a resort fee?

Four Seasons Los Cabos adds a taxable 15 percent service charge to the room rate instead of a fixed nightly resort fee. Mexico's 16 percent VAT and the state lodging tax apply on top, so taxes and service add roughly a third to the rate.

What is the best room to book at Four Seasons Los Cabos?

The Prime Ocean-View Room, on the second and third floors, has the best balance of view and price. Every guest room at Four Seasons Los Cabos is about 680 sq ft with an ocean view and a terrace, so categories differ by floor and view. The Oceanfront Room is closest to the beach, and the Ocean-View Room with Plunge Pool trades some view for privacy.
