The best family resorts in Cabo San Lucas
Written October 2026
Cabo is boats in the marina, water taxis to Lover's Beach and sunsets over the Pacific. On Medano Beach the water is calm enough for kids to wade in and walk out to a sandbar, and one resort there has a pirate ship anchored in its pool.
On Medano you get a pool and the sea. Out on the Corridor, the resorts put their money into pools (and they're very good pools).
Medano Beach, where you can swim
From Medano you can walk along the sand to dinner, the marina and the water taxis for Lover's Beach.
Villa del Palmar Beach Resort and Spa
Medano Beach
A gated resort at the east end of Medano, with suites up to penthouses and free kayaks and paddleboards to borrow. Villa del Arco shares the grounds next door.

Villa del Arco Beach Resort and Spa
Medano Beach
A full-size pirate ship is anchored in the pool, and it doubles as the bar. Small kids get the ship and you get the bar (everybody wins). The kids' club is a two-minute walk away at the Palmar, and El Patron does dinner on the sand.

Pueblo Bonito Rosé Resort and Spa
Medano Beach
In the middle of Medano, around a big freeform pool with a shallow end. The marina and the beach restaurants are a walk down the sand, and four restaurants on site cover the nights you'd rather stay put. The kids' club is at the Blanco next door.

Pueblo Bonito Blanco Los Cabos Beach Resort
Medano Beach
The pool faces the Arch, with little bridges and waterfalls to splash under. Cilantro's does seafood on the sand and Las Palomas does Mexican, so nobody loses the dinner vote. A free shuttle runs to the sister resorts, including the spa at the Rosé.

Hotel Riu Santa Fe
Medano Beach, east end
Riu's big all-inclusive at the east end of Medano has a water park and a kids' pool with slides. RIU Land, the kids' club, has one group for 4 to 7 and another for 8 to 12, so older kids aren't stuck doing crafts with the small ones. The beach out front is swimmable most days.

Hotel Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas
Medano Beach, east end
Guests get free entry to Splash Water World next door. This all-inclusive on Medano is dressier than the Santa Fe and just as easygoing about kids. Riu keeps its adults-only hotel separate, so this one is for families.

The Corridor
The Corridor is the resort road between Cabo and San José del Cabo, a taxi ride from both towns.
Esperanza, Auberge Collection
Punta Ballena
Seventeen acres of bluff between two private coves, with a playground beside the family pool. Cabo is five minutes away, and dive-in movies run at sunset. Grown-ups get a cliff-top restaurant, and families eat at the casual La Palapa.

Grand Velas Los Cabos
Corridor, km 17

Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos All Inclusive Golf and Spa
Corridor, km 10
There are six pools, one of them an infinity pool facing the ocean. Cabo del Sol's golf courses are next door if someone in the family plays, and the Santa María cove is a short drive for a swim. If your kids are years apart, the main pool's toddler shelf and the bigger pools cover both ends.

Hilton Los Cabos
Corridor, near San José
The Dolphin Pool has a waterslide and a splash zone, and grown-ups get a separate adults-only pool. Teens get their own program, which helps if one of yours has aged out of the splash zone. The resort is on one of the few Corridor coves you can swim in, and it's closer to San José's old town than to Cabo.
