Full of glitz, glamour, and grandeur, Los Cabos is a smart choice for gay travelers hoping to savor the beauty and conviviality of Baja California Sur. A-list celebrities are known to retreat here for their coastal getaways, but the famed El Arco rock formation at the southern tip of Cabo San Lucas might be the area’s most recognizable star.
Aside from its natural assets, repeat visitors rave about Los Cabos’ all-night dancing, tequila tastings, high-energy water sports, and the most unforgettable tacos they’ve ever had.
Even if the fun rages on around the clock, gay travel enthusiasts will have to rest and recuperate at some point, which is why we recommend you make the gay-friendly Viceroy Los Cabos your base. The team at the hotel just happens to have the low-down on the best experiences at Viceroy Los Cabos and in the surrounding area — make it easy and plop these right into your travel itinerary!
Read our full gay travel guide to Los Cabos.
Why LGBT travel junkies flock to Los Cabos:
“Los Cabos is a safe, friendly, welcoming destination with great food, music, and experiences that shouldn’t be missed! Here, gay and lesbian vacationers will find the warmth of Mexico, a tolerant and friendly atmosphere, and the ultimate in luxury travel.”
Give us the full scoop on Viceroy Los Cabos:
“Viceroy Los Cabos is an architectural gem, unlike any other resort in the area. Our striking design is the perfect backdrop for the most stylish stay that will make your Instagram the envy of your friends!”
What gives Viceroy Los Cabos that “wow” factor?
“I’d say that our fitness center curated by Harley Pasternak has to be a real standout for guests. Even those who don’t typically like to work out on vacation find themselves using our battle ropes and kettlebells and utilizing the many classes we have, from spinning to boot camps and sunrise yoga on the beach.”
Must-do’s for gay travel enthusiasts:
“There are the obvious things, like whale watching, sailing around El Arco, the Art Walk in downtown San Jose del Cabo, or even enjoying the amazing tequilas. But did you know you can go camel trekking? Zip-lining? Picking fresh vegetables from one of the oldest farms, or learning how to cook traditional local dishes with an award-winning chef? Trekking to local waterfalls? The possibilities are endless!”
The Tastiest dish served at Nido:
“Personally, I love the irresistible Baja shrimp tacos. I think you can’t go wrong with a glass of Don Julio 70 on the rocks to complement it — or just let one of our award-winning mixologists create something truly unique for you.”
What are gay weddings like at Viceroy Los Cabos?
“We just had an amazing LGBT wedding at Viceroy Los Cabos and I can honestly say I’ve never seen a more beautiful wedding. The resort is a perfect blank canvas for your vision, and multiple outlets mean your guests can gather in many unique spaces.”
Under-the-radar nature spots for calming LGBT vacations:
“Few people know about the hike to local waterfalls. It really is a beautiful hidden gem! You’ll just have to come and stay with us to learn more about it!”
Best spots for taking in the views on gay-friendly vacations:
“One of the best views in the area can be enjoyed from our rooftop restaurant, Cielomar. Where else can you sip cocktails and eat flame-grilled octopus while watching the sun turn from blue to cotton-candy pink, all while whales swim by right in front of you?”
Action-packed nightlife activities for exciting gay holidays:
“Our neighbors, Omnia, have a super-fun day club that many guests love. Pink Kitty offers a sultry vibe with a stylish dance floor, VIP booths, and high-end table service. A newer gay bar on the Cabo San Lucas scene (but already very popular) is Chandeliers.”
To get totally relaxed on LGBT vacations, visit…
“The Spa at Viceroy Los Cabos! Spend time in our relaxation area before enjoying the hot and cold pools. Lie on our thermal chairs and warm up before brushing yourself down with ice from the fountain and using the steam room and sauna. Then luxuriate in one of our couples massages, allowing you time to reconnect.”
Three bucket-list activities for whirlwind gay holidays:
“1. Our Forgotten Spirits tasting is a must do. Forget your tequilas and mezcals and really experience something new with spirits such as Sotol. 2. Have some tacos and dance to live music at La Lupita in downtown San Jose del Cabo. 3. Finally, spend some time shopping, both at our boutique KM33 and in the beautiful boutiques and art galleries in town.”
Best time of year to take gay-friendly vacations to Los Cabos:
“The beauty of Los Cabos is that it’s a year-round destination. August and September tend to be on the more humid side, but if you’re spending time in a pool with a refreshing drink in hand, it’s still beautiful!”
Help! What should I pack?
“A book about the history of the area will really help you appreciate the area’s landscape and people. Bring workout clothes for ATV driving, hiking, or just taking one of our complimentary bicycles and exploring the local area. And instead of packing, maybe unpack your laptop! We have Alexa technology in the rooms, you can stream your Netflix account through the in-room TV screens, and our concierge can help you curate your entire stay. Get away from work and your at-home obligations, switch off, and enjoy Baja!
