Where Do Celebrities Stay in Cabo?
Similar to Palm Springs, Cabo San Lucas has long been a prized celebrity getaway. Part of its popularity is due to the fact that it’s just a two-hour flight from L.A., making it ideal for a few days of fun & sun. Whether it’s George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez, Gwyneth Paltrow on her honeymoon, or the unofficial “Queen of Cabo” herself, Jennifer Aniston: the question we’ll do our best to answer here is, “Where Do Celebrities Stay in Cabo?” I’ll give you the top seven resorts where you’re most likely to run into a celebrity or two, & yes, some of them are even (somewhat) affordable!
The One & Only Palmilla is a longtime Cabo celebrity favorite, with its ultra-private location & stunning oceanfront rooms.

Overview of Cabo Celebrity-Favorite Hotels
Hotels below are listed from north to south: the far north hotels are closer to San Jose del Cabo (& the International Airport), while the southern-most hotels are closer to Cabo San Lucas. My favorite choices are starred.
- Hotel El Ganzo ($199+/night): It’s reported that Sean Penn & Charlie Sheen both prefer this boutique hotel with its farm-to-table restaurant, rooftop bar & eatery with marina views.
- **One & Only Palmilla ($945+/night): Our friend is a surf instructor here, & he’s spotted both Gwyneth Paltrow & Jennifer Aniston ~ rumor is, this is one of Aniston’s favorite Cabo resorts.
- **Las Ventanas ($835+/night): This is where true A-listers like Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, the Kardashians, & Jessica Alba prefer to stay. One draw is the amazing Spa at Las Ventanas, as are the personal butler service, tequila bar, infinity pool, & lazy river.
- Le Blanc Spa Resort ($660+/night): Reality stars like Kristin Cavallari & her ex Jay Cutler, plus all kinds of Real Housewives prefer to stay at this refined, adults-only all-inclusive resort that has seven restaurants & five bars to choose from.
- Grand Velas Los Cabos ($1,232+/night): Abigail Spencer, Sarah Rafferty, & Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth have all been spotted at this luxury beachfront all-inclusive.
- **Esperanza Auberge ($1,500+/night): More celebs have stayed here than you can shake a stick at ~ Fergie & Josh Duhamel (back when they were together), Chelsea Handler, Courtney Cox, Sheryl Crow, Jennie Garth, & Will Smith have all *reportedly* stayed here. Ohhh..& Gwyneth Paltrow & Chris Martin honeymooned here (back when they were together). This is a popular spot!
- Waldorf Astoria Pedregal ($1,160+/night): Riverdale stars Lili Reinhart & Cole Sprouse have been spotted here, as well as plenty of others who shall not be named….
Hotel El Ganzo is one of the least expensive “celebrity” hotel options in Cabo ~ but its location on the marina is also less private.

One & Only has an enviable position on one of Cabo’s prettiest beaches ~ with water that’s great for both surfing & swimming.
Villas like this draw celebrities like Jennifer Aniston to return time & again…
But even “Deluxe Rooms” are charming, opening up to a beautiful outdoor terrace.
Magical sunsets.

The Grand Velas looks a bit like Vegas meets Cabo, with its mega high-rise building set along the ocean.
Some suites at the Grand Velas have private pools.
Le Blanc Spa Resort is refined & elegant, & you may spot a “Housewife” or two here…

The Esperanza Auberge sits right in front of the dramatic, rocky coastline that Cabo is famous for.

The Waldorf Astoria Pedregal is uniquely-built into the side of a cliff, with a large white sand beach directly in front of the property.
Plenty of beachfront…
The Waldorf is the closest hotel to Cabo San Lucas ~ all others lie between San Jose del Cabo & Cabo proper.

Fascinating article…I’ve long wondered where Ms. Aniston stays in Cabo when she goes! My husband and I love the One & Only, it was our honeymoon spot. But we love to try new places, will be using this article as a reference. Does your friend who’s a surf instructor have a favorite taco place in Cabo? Thanks, Annie
Tacos in Cabo ~ great question! So we stayed in San Jose del Cabo (not Cabo San Lucas), & one of Matt’s favorite places there, which was just a little off-the-beaten path, is called Lateral. It’s a really cute place, great beverages, & the tacos were my FAVORite of our whole trip!! Enjoy : )
