Los Cabos has put a firm date on the next major addition to its hotel map. Amanvari is scheduled to open on August 1 on the East Cape, while two more large branded resorts and several golf projects are being positioned for later in 2026.
The Los Cabos Tourism Board outlined the development schedule on July 14. For travelers, the useful change is not simply that more luxury rooms are coming, but that the new properties are spreading stays across the East Cape, the Pacific side and established resort areas with different airport transfers, beach settings and access to Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo.
- August 1: Amanvari is scheduled to open on the East Cape with 18 casitas.
- Late 2026: St. Regis Los Cabos at Quivira and Grand Hyatt Los Cabos are both described as later 2026 arrivals.
- Now open: Park Hyatt Los Cabos at Cabo del Sol has recently begun welcoming guests.
- Golf pipeline: New courses associated with Oleada, Old Lighthouse Club and Diamante are part of the second half development push.
- Planning rule: Confirm the individual property’s bookable dates before arranging flights or nonrefundable transfers.
Amanvari Is Set to Open August 1
The tourism board’s July 14 development announcement gives Amanvari an August 1 opening date. The resort is Aman’s first property in Mexico and is designed as a small East Cape retreat with 18 casitas plus branded residences.
Aman’s official Amanvari page places the property at Costa Palmas on the Sea of Cortez, about a 45 minute drive from Los Cabos International Airport under normal conditions. The page describes one and two bedroom casitas, each with a private pool, as well as a private beach, restaurants, an Aman Spa and access to the Costa Palmas marina and golf course.
The East Cape location matters because it is not interchangeable with staying near Cabo San Lucas. Travelers choosing Amanvari are buying into a quieter Sea of Cortez setting, and they should price the airport transfer and any trips to the main tourist corridor before treating the resort as a base for a conventional Cabo itinerary.
An August 1 target is close enough that travelers should rely on a live bookable room rather than the announcement alone. Soft openings can leave some restaurants, spa spaces or residence areas in phased operation, so anyone booking the first weeks should ask which facilities will be available on the exact stay dates.
Two More Large Resorts Are Aiming for Late 2026
St. Regis Los Cabos at Quivira is described by the tourism board as a late 2026 arrival on the Pacific side. The Quivira project page presents it as a resort and residential development overlooking the ocean within the broader Quivira Los Cabos community.
The location places the property west of central Cabo San Lucas rather than along the main corridor toward San Jose del Cabo. That can suit travelers who want a contained resort stay or access to Quivira’s golf environment, while visitors planning repeated restaurant, marina or town trips should compare drive times and transport arrangements.
Grand Hyatt Los Cabos Resort, Golf and Spa is also expected later in 2026 within the Oleada Pacific Living and Golf community. The official Hyatt property page describes a 301 room resort and identifies it as the first all inclusive Grand Hyatt.
That all inclusive positioning creates a different booking decision from Amanvari’s low density East Cape model. Travelers comparing the properties should look beyond the brand name and check whether meals, drinks, golf access, resort fees and airport transportation are included in the specific rate.
Park Hyatt Los Cabos Is Already Receiving Guests
The same pipeline announcement says Park Hyatt Los Cabos at Cabo del Sol recently welcomed its first guests. That makes it the most concrete option in the group for travelers who want to book before the later 2026 openings.
Its Cabo del Sol location sits in the established coastal corridor between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo. That corridor can provide a more balanced base for travelers who want resort time while retaining practical access to both towns, although transfer time still varies with traffic and the exact destination.
A recently opened resort can continue finishing landscaping, residences or nearby construction after rooms begin operating. Guests who are sensitive to noise or who are booking for a wedding, golf trip or spa stay should ask the hotel directly whether the facilities central to their trip are fully open.
Golf Development Is Part of the Hotel Map
Los Cabos is also tying the next hotel cycle to three golf projects. The tourism board names Oleada Golf Links by Ernie Els, Old Lighthouse Golf and Ocean Club by Jack Nicklaus and The Legacy at Diamante by Tiger Woods as additions expected to expand the destination’s golf offering.
The projects are not one shared amenity. They sit in different communities and can have separate access policies, membership rules, opening schedules and relationships with nearby resorts, so a hotel reservation should not be treated as automatic confirmation of a tee time.
Grand Hyatt’s Oleada setting gives the resort a clear connection to the Ernie Els course, while the St. Regis project is linked to the Quivira development that includes Old Lighthouse Club. Travelers building a golf trip should confirm whether the desired course is open to resort guests, what transportation is provided and whether play can be reserved before arrival.
How the New Openings Change a Cabo Stay
The development wave gives travelers more reason to choose a subregion first and a hotel second. The East Cape emphasizes space and the Sea of Cortez, the Pacific side has large resort and golf communities, and the central corridor offers easier movement between the two main towns.
That geography can affect much more than scenery. Airport transfer costs, restaurant access, marina excursions, beach conditions and the practicality of independent sightseeing all change with the property location, even when every hotel markets itself under the Los Cabos name.
Travelers who plan to spend time away from the resort can use Deep Arrival’s guide to unique things to do in Cabo to identify the activities that matter before selecting a base. A remote resort can be ideal for a self contained stay but inefficient when the itinerary depends on daily trips across the region.
The July 14 announcement also lists longer range projects including Conrad Los Cabos, Delano East Cape and SIRO Palmilla without firm opening dates in the release. Those names are useful as a view of the pipeline, but they are not yet substitutes for a confirmed reservation or a reason to lock in travel.
What to Verify Before Booking
For Amanvari, the immediate check is whether the exact room category is bookable for the intended dates after August 1 and whether every priority facility will operate during the opening period. For the late 2026 resorts, travelers should wait for a confirmed bookable stay rather than plan around a broad seasonal target.
Flights and transfers should remain flexible until the hotel confirms the reservation. The strongest opening package is one that aligns the property location with the traveler’s actual Cabo plans, not simply the newest brand in the market.
When is Amanvari scheduled to open?
The Los Cabos Tourism Board says Amanvari is scheduled to open August 1, 2026. Travelers should confirm a live room reservation and opening period amenities directly with Aman.
Is Grand Hyatt Los Cabos open?
Not according to the July 14 pipeline announcement. The 301 room all inclusive resort is expected to debut later in 2026 within the Oleada community.
Has Park Hyatt Los Cabos opened?
The tourism board says Park Hyatt Los Cabos at Cabo del Sol has recently welcomed its first guests. Guests should still confirm the availability of specific facilities for their dates.
Are the new golf courses included with every hotel stay?
No. Access, opening dates, tee time rules and hotel relationships vary by course and development, so travelers need confirmation from the property or course.
