Cabo San Lucas, MX
Baja's Premier Luxury Beach Escape
Cabo San Lucas has transformed from a sleepy fishing village into one of the most popular private aviation destinations for US travelers. The combination of pristine Pacific beaches, world-class golf, sport fishing, and a robust luxury hotel market makes it a year-round draw — with peak demand from Thanksgiving through Easter.
Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) handles all aircraft categories and offers multiple FBOs with customs and immigration clearance on arrival. Midsize jets and larger are recommended for most US routes. Peak demand Dec–Jan requires booking well in advance, as ramp space and hotel inventory tighten simultaneously.
