Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas became Four Seasons Resort East Cape at Costa Palmas on 13 November 2026. The new name puts the Baja California Sur resort’s location on the Sea of Cortez front and centre. Yacht excursions from Costa Palmas Marina and a 2.5-kilometre stretch of swimmable beach are central to that identity.
The resort opened in 2019 within Costa Palmas, a 1,500-acre private beachfront community. It has since added dining concepts, wellness programmes, villas, residences and outdoor activities. General manager Sandra Oliva said the new name reflects the resort’s ties to the East Cape and the experiences guests can find there. For visitors comparing stays in the Los Cabos area, the name makes it easier to identify the stretch of coastline they would be visiting.
Yacht Trips Begin at Costa Palmas Marina
Resort guests can arrange yacht excursions from Costa Palmas Marina, which Four Seasons describes as the only private marina in Los Cabos. The marina gives guests a departure point within the community, making it possible to spend one day exploring the coastline by boat and the next on the beach. Other activities include sportfishing, spearfishing and winter whale watching.
The marina also provides access to Cabo Pulmo National Park, about 45 minutes away by boat according to the resort. The park forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognised for its marine environment. For travellers planning a stay around time on the water, the park excursion offers a different outing from a coastal cruise or fishing trip.
The season can shape which experience anchors the holiday. Winter visitors can look at whale-watching departures, while summer brings the Bisbee’s East Cape Offshore fishing tournament. The resort’s long beachfront gives guests another way to spend time by the Sea of Cortez on days when they stay ashore.
Water Taxis Connect Dining Venues at Costa Palmas
More than 15 restaurants and bars operate across the Costa Palmas community. Water taxis connect parts of the development, giving guests another way to reach venues beyond the hotel. Dining options range from Mexican cooking at Casa de Brasa to Italian dishes at Mozza Baja by chef Nancy Silverton.
Delphine pairs a French Riviera-inspired day club with a menu devised by chef Ludo Lefebvre. Chiki, a speakeasy-style nightclub and lounge, takes its cues from Baja California and traditional cantinas. These venues give visitors different ways to spend an afternoon or evening within the same coastal community.
At Zest, the resort serves a nine-course tasting menu for up to 12 diners in the executive chef’s private garden. The small format makes it a distinct option for a group celebration. Guests can also plan a more informal meal at Casa de Brasa, where the kitchen reinterprets Mexican classics in a Baja-style setting.
Golf and Wellness Give Travellers Reasons to Stay Ashore
The 15,855-square-foot Oasis Spa and Wellness Centre offers personalised treatments and therapies focused on stress relief. The Rossano Ferretti Hairspa adds haircare services. For couples or groups with different interests, the spa provides an option while others spend the day fishing, boating or on the golf course.
Costa Palmas Golf Club has an 18-hole championship course designed by Robert Trent Jones II. Lessons and group clinics are available, so visitors can build a round or a shorter session into their stay. Casa Encantada offers a separate venue for private gatherings, adding an event option for guests planning a celebration on the East Cape.
Outdoor Trips Reach Beyond the Shoreline
Guided walks lead towards the spring-fed Santiago waterfall in the foothills of the Sierra de la Laguna. Horseback riding offers another way to explore the area. Farther along the coast, seasonal winds draw kiteboarders to La Ventana and windsurfers to Los Barriles.
Those experiences give travel advisers several ways to build a multi-day East Cape itinerary. A guest who comes for a yacht excursion can spend another day inland, while a group with mixed interests can divide its time among the beach, golf course and spa. For travellers choosing where to base themselves in Baja California Sur, the appeal is being able to begin a boat trip at Costa Palmas Marina and return to the same community for dinner.
