The luxury resort scene in Los Cabos keeps getting more heated all the time. This has clearly become the go-to spot for high-end hotel chains to make their mark in Mexico. The home-grown Mexican companies are no slackers, however, and Grand Solmar Land’s End is worth considering for its impressive pool complexes, large rooms, and near-perfect location.
That location is at the tip of the Baja Peninsula, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortes and creates some dramatic ocean waves. You can watch those waves crashing on the shore from a beach chair or from one of the four infinity pools that are perched over the sand. The flag is always red for “no swimming” in this rough current where the shore drops off quickly, but there’s a special thrill when you’re having a cocktail at the swim-up bar and seeing 10-foot waves roll in. From December through March you’ll probably see whales off shore as well.
This location is right behind the famous Los Cabos arch, with sunrise at one end of the beach and sunset at the other. The sunsets here are some of the most impressive you’ll find anywhere, with people booking boat trips to watch it from just in front of this resort. You actually get a much better view from here than from the much more expensive Waldor-Astoria Pedregal at the other end of the beach. Their view is blocked by the cliffs behind them.
The spa at Grand Solmar is set up differently than at most resorts. It’s not buried in a basement to cut off all outside noise. Instead it’s comprised of two sets of thatched cabanas at either end of the resort. Your relaxing massage comes with a salty sea breeze and the sounds of the ocean.
The standard rooms at this resort would require a 3-level upgrade at most others. They’re spacious, with a full dining table and a murphy bed, a large furnished balcony, and a well-equipped kitchen that has a full-sized refrigerator. Then the categories keep going up from there, many of them suites with a full living room and two bedrooms. Part of the clientele here is those who have bought into a timeshare scheme, so every unit has a full kitchen and you can stock up on groceries at an on-site store or get them from a full supermarket in town.
This is the closest luxury resort to Cabo San Lucas itself that we cover, literally walking distance from the nightlife, the restaurants, and the marina for fishing or whale watching trips. Staffers can also arrange all kinds of adventure tours in the area.
We shot a new video tour during our stay in late 2025, so come check that out here:
If you’ve never been to Los Cabos, you might think it’s just another beach resort area, but take a tour with us and see the dramatic beach here and get a feel for what the resort at the end of Baja is like.
You also have several different restaurants and bars to choose from here, most of them facing the ocean and the towering cliffs and rock formations. I have eaten at most of them and had consistently good meals. Then of course you’ve got a kitchen to whip up your own breakfast or cocktails if you want a break from restaurant food. Or you can walk to one of Solmar’s other resorts nearby.
We have stayed in and toured almost every luxury resort in this area on six different trips, not counting the contributions from contributing freelance writers on top. On two visits several years apart, we’ve been impressed by the attentive service, consistently good meals, and the great physical set-up amidst the rock formations for one of Los Cabos’ own home-grown resorts.
