The modern travel world has changed a lot over the last decade. Most of us stopped thinking of "all-inclusive" as a compromise a long time ago. The days of choosing between the thoughtful design of a boutique hotel and the total relaxation of a hands-off, wallet-free vacation are officially behind us. What we’re looking for now is simple: an effortless escape that still delivers real culinary depth, striking architecture, and spaces that feel genuinely connected to where we're landing.
A new resort partnership is taking that exact philosophy straight to the edge of the Pacific.
Hyatt has announced the upcoming debut of Grand Hyatt Los Cabos Resort, Golf & Spa, slated to open its doors in the second half of 2026. Tucked inside the oceanfront Oleada Pacific Living & Golf community in Cabo San Lucas, the 301-room property marks a major first: it is the first-ever fully all-inclusive resort for the classic Grand Hyatt brand.
By taking a strictly à la carte, chef-driven approach to its menus and pairing it with a layout that mirrors the natural texture of the Baja coast, the design captures a raw, sophisticated coastal elegance, building an atmosphere where the pressure to keep a schedule completely dissolves. Whether you’re sneaking away for a solo wellness reset, planning a long-overdue trip with close friends, or gathering a multi-generational family crew for a major milestone, the focus here is entirely on slowing down.
Here's a first look at what is coming to the Cabo coast.

A New Approach to Life on the Coast
Bringing a brand like Grand Hyatt into the all-inclusive space is a deliberate move to match how people want to experience a beach vacation right now—where luxury is defined by the absence of signatures, checks, and interruptions.
Jason Ballard, Hyatt’s SVP and Global Brand Leader, notes that the destination naturally fits the brand’s perspective on hospitality. "This is an exciting milestone because it brings the Grand Hyatt brand into the all-inclusive space for the first time, and Los Cabos is the kind of destination where this evolution feels natural. Grand Hyatt hotels are designed to be destinations within a destination, with a sense of grandeur, energy and connection to place. We now can bring this to life through an all-inclusive lens, pairing the ease our World of Hyatt members and guests want with the distinctive design, culinary programming, service and elevated experiences they expect from Hyatt’s Classics Portfolio."
The resort will feature 301 rooms, including 57 suites and 42 swim-out rooms. The accommodations are built as breezy, light-filled retreats featuring marble bathrooms, deep soaking tubs, and private balconies that frame the ocean.
"What makes this resort especially compelling is the balance it offers, whether you are looking for a beachfront escape with your partner, a destination wedding venue or a memorable family and friends’ getaway," Ballard says. "It's a meaningful next step for Grand Hyatt and Hyatt’s broader all-inclusive growth because it demonstrates how the model can be elevated while still staying true to the brand."
Leaning Into the Natural Drama of Baja
Architecturally, the resort doesn't try to compete with its surroundings. Instead, the low-slung buildings hugs the coastline, blending clean lines with the specific textures of the desert and the sea.
"The design is centered around the Baja lifestyle while staying true to Grand Hyatt, which has always been about bold, memorable spaces that inspire guests to gather, explore and feel part of something special," Ballard explains. "In Los Cabos, this means leaning into the natural drama of the Pacific coastline, desert landscape, light, texture and sense of openness. The architecture and interiors are designed to feel refined, coastal and expansive, with natural light, thoughtful gathering spaces and an intentional indoor-outdoor rhythm."
The spaces are arranged to capture the natural light and the rhythm of the ocean. "The challenge was less about balancing two different ideas and more about making sure they enhanced each other," Ballard says. "Grand Hyatt gives us the scale, polish and sense of occasion, while Los Cabos gives the resort its soul, warmth and visual identity."

From Pan-Asian Classics to a Hidden Speakeasy
With five à la carte restaurants and five distinct bars, the property functions like a local culinary neighborhood. You can easily drift from casual daytime spots to lively evening lounges, with every menu offering curated, made-to-order dishes.
The standout of the culinary lineup is Sekai, a signature Pan-Asian restaurant built around a social, shared style of dining. "Sekai is the resort’s signature Pan-Asian restaurant, and it brings a dynamic, social dining energy that feels in line with how guests want to experience a resort today," Ballard says. "The menu draws from a range of Asian culinary traditions, with tandoori specialties, handmade bao, wok-fired dishes, curries, premium seafood, reserve cuts and craft cocktails."
For the rest of your itinerary, you can explore the beachfront Mexican flavors at Brasamar, the coastal Italian style of Casa Lido, a refined steakhouse, or head into the corners of the property to track down a hidden, intimate speakeasy for a late-night craft cocktail.

Finding Your Own Pace
The layout of the property is built to allow different styles of vacations to happen at the same time without overlapping. If your main goal is total quiet, you can spend mornings at the adults-only pool, schedule time in the traditional Mexican temazcal sweat lodge, or head into the spa's private treatment cabins.
"Guests can spend the day at the adults-only pool, enjoy with a treatment in one of the spa’s private cabins, take part in wellness programming, visit one of the many on-property restaurants, play golf or simply spend time by the ocean," Ballard notes. "The resort is designed for both relaxation and discovery, so travelers can be as active or as slow-paced as desired."
If you want a bit more movement, the resort features an 18-hole golf course designed by Ernie Els, pickleball courts, and a high-tech fitness center. Families traveling with kids will also have their own dedicated infrastructure, including kids' and teens' clubs, family infinity pools, a beachfront pool, and an on-site water splash park.
But when it comes to the place that ties the whole resort together, Ballard points right to the horizon line. "The rooftop bar and lounge is going to be a hit with sweeping views of the Los Cabos coastline. It is sophisticated but still relaxed, which is exactly the feeling we wanted throughout the resort. This is also a great place to bring your families. I think a lot of memories will be made by the pool and along the beachfront."
With the countdown officially on for the grand opening, your next long-weekend escape just got a whole lot easier to visualize.
