bahia: a story of place & people
Some places feel instantly familiar—like they’ve always been a part of you. Bahia was created with that feeling in mind. Steps from the sand in Cabo’s Médano Beach District, it’s a soulful retreat where every stay feels personal and deeply connected to Baja.
It’s a place where sunlit mornings begin with coffee, freshly baked pastries, and ocean swims—and nights stretch long over shared meals and stories. Where guests are welcomed through genuine connection, and hospitality flows naturally, guided by people who care deeply about every moment.
What makes it all possible is the Bahia family—a passionate team of hospitality professionals who approach each day with warmth, care, and the professionalism that defines Cabo and Mexico at their best. From the front desk to the kitchen, from housekeeping to guest services, their presence is what creates the unmistakable feeling of home.
Bahia’s evolution began with the transformation of two iconic buildings: the original Bahia Hotel and Las Palmas, Cabo’s first beach club. Over the years, its story has continued to unfold—through redesigned rooms, offerings rooted in wellness and connection, and the rise of two signature culinary destinations that have helped shape Cabo’s modern food scene. Bar Esquina, Bahia’s flagship restaurant, blends Mediterranean and Baja flavors in an open-air setting that feels like the best dinner party in town. And SUR Beach House, the hotel’s toes-in-the-sand beach club and restaurant, invites guests to settle in with iconic views, swimmable waters, and the relaxed energy of Baja’s coast.
The hotel’s location enhances the experience. With rare walkability—from Médano Beach to the Marina to downtown Cabo—Bahia places guests within easy reach of the region’s most desirable sights. Mornings might start with a glass-bottom panga ride to Land’s End or a sunrise paddle session, while afternoons invite exploration of taquerias, art galleries, and local landmarks.
The spirit of connection extends beyond design and location. Founding partner Lee Vosburgh brings a personal presence that helps shape meaningful guest experiences and enduring relationships. Meredith Vosburgh, whose creative sensibility has helped shape Bahia’s soulful, lived-in vibe, shares in that same sense of welcome—often greeting guests with her signature green juice or offering a favorite off-menu dish. Together, their warmth feels personal, sincere, and quietly emblematic of the Bahia experience.
Guiding the team from the beginning is Partner and Managing Director Felipe Rebelo. For nearly two decades, his thoughtful leadership, deep hospitality expertise, and strong connection to Cabo have helped shape Bahia and its restaurants into one of the region’s most respected boutique destinations and most notable dining experiences. Under his leadership — supported by what he often refers to as his “hospitality soldiers” — Bahia and SUR have cultivated one of Cabo’s most committed hospitality teams, professionals who embody operational excellence and a culture rooted in intention, care, and community.
From couples on weekend escapes to friends reconnecting or guests gathering for intimate celebrations, travelers return time and again—not just for the location, the design, or the food (though they’ll talk about all three), but for the connection they feel to the familia de Bahia.
