Los Cabos – Corridor, Baja California Sur, México

For decades, Santa Maria Bay remained a pristine secret – a crescent-shaped cove with white sand and crystal waters known primarily to locals. When Montage Hotels & Resorts opened its first International resort here in May 2018, spanning 39 beachfront acres, many wondered if the bay’s tranquil spirit could survive luxury development. The answer is a resounding yes. Montage Los Cabos seamlessly integrates into the natural landscape, preserving rather than overwhelming one of Los Cabos’ most precious coastal treasures while earning two MICHELIN Keys, Forbes Five-Star status for both hotel and spa, and AAA Five-Diamond recognition.

Contemporary architecture by Robert Glazier and Bernardi + Peschard features low-profile, two-story buildings that honor traditional Mexican design while showcasing modern sophistication. During construction, native plants were temporarily relocated and reintroduced, ensuring the property feels simultaneously new and mature. The 122 expansive guestrooms, suites, and three private casas, plus 52 Montage Residences, celebrate indoor-outdoor living with private balconies, ocean views, and luxurious amenities. Ocean View Casas – three or four-bedroom residences with private terraces and fire pits – represent the ultimate in resort living.

What truly distinguishes Montage is its location on one of Los Cabos’ rare swimmable beaches. Santa Maria Bay’s protected waters, sheltered between bluffs, create calm conditions perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and paddleboarding – a treasure where most Los Cabos beaches have dangerous currents. Walk-in access to vibrant reefs, three distinct pool experiences including a 20,000-square-foot main pool, and the year-round Compass Center adventure hub provide endless water-based pursuits. The adjacent Fred Couples Signature golf course – his first in Mexico – offers championship play with dramatic Sea of Cortés views.

Mezcal, the signature restaurant helmed by Chef Odin Rocha (Food & Wine Best New Chef 2022), earned Michelin Guide recognition in 2025 for traditional Mexican cuisine and mezcal-focused cocktails. Talay showcases Pan-Asian flavors from Chef Mark Narongchai (Best New Chef 2020), while Marea offers beachfront International gastronomy. The 40,000-square-foot Forbes Five-Star Spa Montage features treatments inspired by Baja traditions, state-of-the-art fitness facilities, yoga, tennis courts, and Montage’s signature Paintbox children’s program for family travelers.

What makes Montage Los Cabos exceptional isn’t just its awards or amenities – it’s how the resort honors its setting. By preserving Santa Maria Bay’s peaceful essence while delivering world-class luxury, Montage demonstrates that development and environmental stewardship need not be mutually exclusive. The result is a sanctuary where azure waters meet desert sands in perfect harmony, offering an experience that feels both exclusive and authentic—a rare achievement recognized through inclusion in Travel + Leisure’s It List (2019) and Virtuoso’s Best Newcomer Award (2019).
