The New York Times has released its list of 52 places to travel in 2025, and Los Cabos, Baja California, earned a spot at No. 18.
Los Cabos, located at the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula, has seen massive growth in recent years and is now one of Mexico’s most popular destinations for international tourists.
According to figures from the Los Cabos Tourism Trust (FITURCA), the resort city saw 3.9 million tourists in 2024 — and NYT noticed.
According to NYT, Los Cabos has established itself as a premier destination thanks to its acclaimed golf courses and resorts. But it is the new “wave of exclusive openings,” that earned this sunny destination a spot among global destinations like Greenland, Nepal and Portugal.
