Hotels near Cabo San Lucas Marina: the 11 closest resorts, and why staying there makes a yacht day easier

Eleven hotels sit within about 1.1 km of the yacht docks in Marina Cabo San Lucas, measured in a straight line. Four of them, Breathless, Tesoro Los Cabos, Sandos Finisterra and Playa Grande, are steps from the marina. From any of the eleven you can be on board without a car, which matters most for a 7 AM departure or a sunset cruise that docks after dark.

The distances below go to the closest boarding dock in the marina. Each yacht boards at its own dock in Marina Cabo San Lucas; your exact dock and a map link come on your boarding pass, so your walk may be a little longer or shorter than the table suggests.

Which hotels are closest to Cabo San Lucas Marina?

For every hotel in Los Cabos, including the corridor and San José, see the full hotel distance table or the hotels page.

On the marina itself

Breathless Cabo San Lucas

An adults-only, all-inclusive resort with 169 suites on Médano Beach, a few meters from the marina. It opened in December 2015 as the first Breathless in Mexico, and every suite has a private terrace facing either the sea or the marina. If you can see the boats from your balcony, you can be at the dock in a few minutes.

Tesoro Los Cabos

A 255-room hotel on Boulevard Paseo de la Marina, in front of the marina and its shopping center. It used to be the Wyndham Cabo San Lucas Resort. Tesoro is on the marina, not on the sand: the hotel puts Playa El Farito about a 20-minute walk away. For a yacht day, that trade works in your favor.

At Land's End, between the marina and the Pacific

Sandos Finisterra

A 272-room all-inclusive built into the cliffs between the Pacific and the marina. It first opened in 1971 as Hotel Finisterra, and Sandos describes some rooms as extending out from the rock face. The beach below faces the open Pacific, so most guests swim in the pools.

Playa Grande Resort

A family resort of 261 rooms and suites on the Pacific side near Land's End, owned by the local Solmar group and open since 1998. It has a private Pacific beach, and the sea there is rough, so the pools are where kids swim. The marina is close enough for a family to walk down after breakfast.

Solmar Resort and Grand Solmar Land's End

Both belong to Solmar, the family group founded in Cabo San Lucas. Solmar Resort opened in 1974 as Hotel Solmar, with 20 rooms and two suites; construction started in 1972, a year before dredging of the marina began. Today it is a 104-room all-inclusive on Playa Solmar, 0.7 km from the marina in a straight line.

Grand Solmar Land's End opened in 2011 with 247 suites, built into the rocks of Land's End on the Pacific side, next to the Arch. It is 0.8 km from the marina in a straight line and about 3 minutes by car. Playa Solmar is for walking and sunsets, not swimming, because of rogue waves and undertow.

Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal

Only 0.6 km from the marina in a straight line, but on the far side of the Pedregal hill. Cars reach it through the Dos Mares tunnel, about 300 meters long, and the drive to the marina is about 3 minutes without traffic. It opened in 2009 as Capella Pedregal and became the first Waldorf Astoria in Mexico in 2019. Here a short ride makes more sense than walking.

On Médano Beach

Corazón Cabo

A beachfront hotel on Médano, 0.6 km from the marina in a straight line. It was Cabo Villas Beach Resort & Spa until 2022 and has about 310 rooms and suites in three towers. The rooftop of its nine-story tower, Rooftop 360, has an infinity pool facing the bay.

Casa Dorada Los Cabos

A 181-suite hotel on Médano that opened in early 2008, 0.7 km from the marina in a straight line and about a five-minute walk from downtown Cabo San Lucas. It is pet friendly, if you travel with your dog.

ME Cabo

An adults-only hotel of 170 rooms on Médano, facing the Arch, 0.8 km from the marina in a straight line. It was the Meliá Cabo San Lucas until 2007.

Pueblo Bonito Rosé

A 260-suite resort on Médano with rose-tinted walls and a Greco-Roman theme, open since 1997. At 1.1 km in a straight line it is the farthest on this list, still about 4 minutes by car.

Why the short walk matters for an early or sunset charter

Departures run from 7 AM to 7 PM. A guest on the corridor who wants the 7 AM boat has to be in the car by about 6:15; a guest at Breathless or Tesoro can have coffee at 6:40 and still be early.

Sunset is the other case. Yachts from the marina sail until 8 PM and may stay anchored in the bay until 10 PM, so a sunset charter often docks after dark. From these hotels you step off the boat and walk back for dinner, with no driver to wait for and no ride to pay. From the corridor, a round trip in an SUV is USD 160 cash (168 by card), paid to the driver, on top of the yacht.

There are smaller wins too. You can walk back to the room for a forgotten hat, and older relatives or small kids skip a car ride on either end of a long day.

Which charter fits a hotel by the marina?

Short trips make the most sense when the dock is this close. Two good fits:

For a morning snorkel, the 2-hour option at Pelican Rock, next to the Arch, is a few minutes from the dock. Santa María Bay is closed for snorkeling as of October 10, 2026 and is expected to reopen in November. Our sunset cruise guide covers the evening routes.

Prices are per boat, 16% IVA tax included; a 15% crew tip is suggested and not included.

Getting from your hotel to the dock

Walk along the marina boardwalk to the dock on your boarding pass. Our Marina Cabo San Lucas guide explains the docks, where to wait and where to eat before or after. The Sea Ray 65 is the one exception: it meets you at Fisherman's Landing restaurant, by the Cabo Escape terminal.

When you know your hotel and your group size, open the planner, pick a yacht and a time, and we reply within 2 hours, 8 AM to 8 PM Cabo time.

Questions people ask

Which hotel is closest to Cabo San Lucas marina?

Breathless Cabo San Lucas sits right at the marina on Médano Beach. Tesoro Los Cabos, Sandos Finisterra and Playa Grande are also steps from the marina, all within 0.4 km in a straight line.

Can I walk from my Médano Beach hotel to my yacht?

From Corazón Cabo, Casa Dorada and ME Cabo, yes: they are 0.6 to 0.8 km from the nearest boarding dock in a straight line. The three Riu hotels are 2.1 to 2.5 km away, so most guests there take a short ride.

Do I need a taxi from the Waldorf Astoria Pedregal to the marina?

Usually yes. It is only 0.6 km away in a straight line, but cars reach the resort through the Dos Mares tunnel, and the drive is about 3 minutes without traffic.

Is it worth staying near the marina for a yacht charter?

It helps most for 7 AM departures and sunset cruises. You skip the drive and the transfer cost, and you can be back in your room minutes after docking.
