There is a version of Thanksgiving where the table is set on a terrace, the ocean is the centerpiece and nobody is washing a roasting pan at 9 p.m. More families are choosing it every year. In Los Cabos, Thanksgiving week lands in a sweet spot: warm days, calm evenings and a shoulder-season pace before the December rush.
This year, Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, Nov. 26. Here is how to make it feel like the holiday you know, with a view you will not forget.
Option One: The Feast at Home
The most memorable Thanksgiving in Cabo happens inside the villa. Our concierge can arrange a private chef who cooks the full menu, from turkey and stuffing to pies, or reinterprets it with Baja ingredients. Groceries are stocked before you arrive, and the table is set for the whole group. It is the easiest way to keep everyone together, kids included.
Option Two: Dinner Out
Several Los Cabos resorts and restaurants have hosted Thanksgiving dinners in past years, including family-style menus and ocean-view buffets. Menus and prices for 2026 are not always published until the last weeks, so reservations should be confirmed directly, and our concierge can secure the table for you. Stay in Cabo del Sol, Pedregal or Cabo Marina to be minutes from the best options.
What to Do Before and After the Meal
Morning golf, a private sunset sail, a beach walk before the feast, or a quiet afternoon by the pool while the chef works. Many families also use the week to start holiday traditions of their own: a sunrise swim, a group photo on the beach, a walk through the historic center of San José del Cabo.
