Aaron CuhaAaron Cuha|June 8, 202613 min read1,408 words

One of the best-kept advantages of buying in certain Los Cabos communities is permanent access to a five-star hotel's amenities — pools, spa, fitness, restaurants, concierge, and in some cases, reciprocal stays at the brand's properties worldwide. Here is the community-by-community breakdown of which addresses come with resort privileges and what those privileges actually include.

Key Takeaways

  • ✓ Six hotel brands operate branded residences in Los Cabos: Four Seasons, Montage, Auberge, Park Hyatt, Aman, and St. Regis (planned)
  • ✓ Owner perks typically include: pool/beach/fitness access, spa discounts (10–30%), priority restaurant reservations, concierge, and reciprocal stays
  • ✓ Hotel rental programs let owners earn income at hotel rates — 50–60% of nightly revenue after management fees
  • ✓ Branded residences command a 20–40% price premium but also show stronger resale performance
  • ✓ Some non-branded communities (Cabo del Sol, Maravilla) offer partial hotel access through membership arrangements

Four Seasons — Costa Palmas & Cabo del Sol

Four Seasons operates two Los Cabos properties with residential components, and the owner privileges are among the most comprehensive in the market.

Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas — East Cape

  • Pool and beach: Full access to hotel pools, beach club, and the 2-mile swimmable beach
  • Spa and fitness: Complimentary fitness center; spa treatments at owner-preferred pricing
  • Dining: Priority reservations at all hotel restaurants; owner-preferred pricing on food and beverage
  • Golf: Access to the Robert Trent Jones II golf course at preferred rates
  • Concierge: Dedicated residential concierge team — separate from hotel guests
  • Reciprocal stays: Preferred rates and priority booking at all Four Seasons properties worldwide
  • Rental program: Optional enrollment in the Four Seasons rental program — the hotel markets and manages your residence at hotel rates when you are away

Four Seasons Private Residences at Cabo del Sol — Tourist Corridor

  • Similar privilege structure to Costa Palmas, integrated with the Cabo del Sol community
  • Access to both the Nicklaus and Norman golf courses within Cabo del Sol
  • The adjacent Park Hyatt property adds additional dining and event options

Four Seasons residences at Costa Palmas start around $3 million and run to $15 million+ for beachfront estates. At Cabo del Sol, the Four Seasons residential offerings start around $2.5 million. For details on the Costa Palmas development, see our Costa Palmas guide.

Montage — Los Cabos at Twin Dolphin

Montage Los Cabos sits within the Twin Dolphin master plan on the Tourist Corridor, and its residential program has become one of the most popular in the market.

  • Pool and beach: Access to the hotel's oceanfront pools, cabanas, and beach facilities — including the dramatic tiered infinity pool that has become one of Cabo's most photographed amenities
  • Spa and fitness: Spa Montage access with owner pricing; state-of-the-art fitness center
  • Dining: Priority reservations at Mezcal, Talavera, and the hotel's other dining venues
  • Kids' program: Access to Paintbox (Montage's children's activity program), which is a significant perk for families
  • Reciprocal stays: Access to the Montage Residences network including Laguna Beach, Deer Valley, Big Sky, Kapalua Bay, and Healdsburg at preferred rates
  • Rental program: Montage manages your unit in the hotel inventory at hotel-level nightly rates

Montage Residences start around $2 million for two-bedroom units and run to $8 million+ for larger villas and penthouses. The reciprocal network is a standout — owners who travel frequently can access Montage properties in some of the most desirable resort destinations in the US.

Auberge — Chileno Bay

Chileno Bay is the Auberge Resorts Collection's flagship Los Cabos property, and the residential program is deeply integrated with the hotel.

  • Pool and beach: Access to hotel pools and the Blue Flag-certified Chileno Bay beach — the Corridor's only consistently swimmable cove
  • Spa and fitness: Full spa access with owner rates; gym and movement studio
  • Dining: Priority at Comal (the hotel's signature restaurant) and the beach club restaurant
  • Beach club: Reserved cabanas and lounge areas for residents
  • Concierge: Dedicated residential services team for everything from provisioning to event planning
  • Reciprocal stays: Access to Auberge properties globally including Esperanza (Cabo), Stanly Ranch (Napa), Commodore Perry (Austin), and others at preferred rates

Auberge Residences at Chileno Bay range from $1.5 million for two-bedroom units to $10 million+ for oceanfront villas. The Chileno Bay beach is a genuine differentiator — most Corridor communities do not offer swimmable beach access, and the Blue Flag certification matters to families. See our Chileno Bay guide.

Park Hyatt — Cabo del Sol

The Park Hyatt Los Cabos at Cabo del Sol opened in 2026, and its residential component includes:

  • Pool and beach: Hotel pool access and beach facilities on the Sea of Cortez
  • Spa and fitness: Park Hyatt spa with owner-preferred pricing
  • Dining: Priority at hotel restaurants
  • Golf: Preferred access to Cabo del Sol's Nicklaus and Norman courses
  • World of Hyatt integration: Owners earn and use World of Hyatt points; access to the broader Hyatt portfolio including other Park Hyatt properties globally
  • Rental program: Hotel-managed rental program for owner absences

Park Hyatt Residences start around $2.5 million. The World of Hyatt loyalty program integration is a distinctive feature — owners who are already Hyatt loyalists (Globalist status) find the synergy particularly valuable.

Aman — Amanvari at Costa Palmas

Amanvari at Costa Palmas opened in August 2026, and the Aman residential program is the most exclusive in the market:

  • Full resort access: All hotel facilities — pools, beach, spa, fitness, dining
  • Aman Spa: Access to Aman's signature wellness programs and treatments
  • Dining: Priority at Amanvari's restaurants with owner-preferred pricing
  • Privacy and exclusivity: Aman's hallmark — exceptionally low guest-to-staff ratios and a deliberate absence of crowds
  • Aman Essentials: Housekeeping, in-residence dining, and lifestyle services
  • Reciprocal stays: Access to the Aman portfolio — 35+ resorts in 20+ countries — at preferred rates. The Aman network is arguably the most aspirational hotel loyalty ecosystem in the world.

Amanvari Residences start around $5 million. The Aman buyer is a specific profile — someone who values absolute privacy, minimal branding, and access to one of hospitality's most exclusive networks. See our Amanvari guide.

Non-Branded Communities With Hotel Access

You do not need to buy a branded residence to access hotel amenities in Los Cabos. Several non-branded communities offer partial access through membership or proximity agreements:

  • Cabo del Sol (broader community): Homeowners outside the Four Seasons and Park Hyatt residential programs can access golf courses and certain community amenities through separate membership programs. Restaurant and spa access at hotel properties is available but typically at standard (non-discounted) rates.
  • Maravilla: Positioned between Chileno Bay and Twin Dolphin, Maravilla homeowners benefit from proximity to both Auberge and Montage facilities. Specific access arrangements depend on the sub-community within Maravilla.
  • Palmilla: One&Only Palmilla homeowners in the broader Palmilla community can access resort amenities through club membership. The golf course (Jack Nicklaus design) is available to community members.
  • Quivira: Pueblo Bonito operates the resort amenities at Quivira. Homeowners — including Copala condo owners — get access to multiple Pueblo Bonito resort pools, restaurants, and the beach club.

Hotel Rental Programs: Income at Hotel Rates

One of the most compelling financial benefits of branded-residence ownership is the hotel rental program. When you are not using your residence, the hotel markets it as part of its room inventory, charges hotel-level nightly rates, and handles all guest services. This generates significantly higher income than independent vacation rental management for several reasons:

  • Higher nightly rates: A Four Seasons or Montage residence commands $800–$3,000+/night versus $250–$500/night for an independent rental in the same area
  • Built-in demand: The hotel brand's global marketing and loyalty programs drive bookings without you spending a dollar on advertising
  • Professional services: Housekeeping, concierge, room service, and maintenance are all handled to hotel standards
  • Revenue split: Typically 50–60% to the owner and 40–50% to the hotel after operating costs. Some programs offer guaranteed minimum revenue regardless of occupancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do branded residence owners get free hotel pool and spa access?+

Yes, in most cases. Owners at branded residences like Four Seasons Costa Palmas, Montage Los Cabos, and Auberge Chileno Bay typically receive complimentary access to hotel pools, fitness centers, and beach facilities as part of their HOA or club membership. Spa treatments, dining, and golf are usually available at a discount (10–30% off hotel rates) rather than complimentary.

What are reciprocal stay privileges?+

Several hotel brands offer their residential owners preferred rates or complimentary stays at other properties in the brand's portfolio worldwide. Four Seasons owners can book preferred rates at any Four Seasons globally. Montage owners get access to the Montage Residences network. Aman owners receive preferential booking at all Aman resorts. The specifics vary by community and purchase tier.

Can non-branded community owners access hotel amenities in Cabo?+

Some non-branded communities have agreements with adjacent hotels. For example, properties in Cabo del Sol can access Four Seasons and Park Hyatt facilities through community membership programs. Maravilla homeowners have access to both Chileno Bay Auberge and nearby hotel amenities. However, these arrangements are not as comprehensive as branded-residence ownership where the hotel brand is part of your community.

Do resort privileges increase property resale value?+

Significantly. Branded residences in Los Cabos command a 20–40% premium over comparable non-branded properties. The hotel brand, resort access, rental program, and global reciprocal benefits create a combined value proposition that appeals to a specific buyer segment — and that segment is growing. Branded residences also tend to hold value better during market downturns because the hotel brand provides ongoing marketing and management.

What hotel rental programs exist for Cabo homeowners?+

Most branded communities offer an optional hotel rental program where owners can place their residence in the hotel's booking inventory when not in personal use. Four Seasons, Montage, and Auberge all operate these programs. The hotel handles marketing, booking, housekeeping, and guest services. Owners typically receive 50–60% of the nightly rate after the hotel's management fee. Revenue during peak season can be substantial.
