Celebrate Christmas & New Year’s Events at Pueblo Bonito

The holiday season has a special way of transforming our resorts into destinations of heartfelt cheer — a time when festive dishes and sparkling decorative details make the mild Mexican winter days even brighter. At Pueblo Bonito, Christmas and New Year’s are shaped by connection through entertainment and delightful flavors, all set within the unmatched beauty of our Los Cabos and Mazatlán settings. Whether you’re gathering the family to start a new tradition of enjoying the holidays in Mexico or want to take a quick festive escape, our restaurants and venues set the stage for a season to remember.

At Pueblo Bonito Pacífica, the holidays unfold with serene elegance. Siempre invites guests to celebrate with menus that highlight classic Mexican flavors and seasonal specialties. The culinary team has planned a set menu for Christmas Eve, and a dinner buffet with stations on Christmas Day. Meanwhile, Peninsula will offer a traditional holiday menu on both evenings. Christmas morning is a relaxed affair at our adults-only resort, and the afternoon brings added magic as Santa makes his grand appearance with a parade leading to the main pool and beach. Keep your phone or your camera ready for moments worth capturing.

Across the hillside at Sunset Beach, LaFrida sets the tone for a refined dinner on either evening with an exquisite five-course tasting experience accompanied by live piano. The Bistro will present a thoughtfully curated four-course tasting menu on both evenings, and La Nao embraces the season with a traditional Christmas Eve buffet, enhanced by the music of a violinist. Its Christmas brunch adds yet another opportunity to indulge and celebrate with friends and family while enjoying live violin performances.

At Pueblo Bonito Los Cabos and Rosé, you can kick off your Christmas in Mexico with a traditional “Cena de Noche Buena” dinner buffet at Mare Nostrum, which will also host a Christmas brunch the following morning and a set-course dinner at night. At Cilantro’s, Christmas Day will be celebrated with a special three-course menu.

If you’re looking to travel for Christmas but don’t want to miss that feeling of being home for the holidays, staying at Montecristo Estates offers the perfect solution. Enjoy a private dinner delivered directly to your villa, available from mid-afternoon well into the evening. But if the appeal is in stepping out, Cíbola offers a festive dinner on both evenings, accompanied by live music. Christmas morning is also set with an a la carte brunch featuring action stations — including a mimosa station. Keep an eye out for Santa’s arrival around the pool area right next to the restaurant.

In Mazatlán, Emerald Bay is marking the season with live entertainment and a special menu of beautifully prepared dishes at La Cordeliere. Indulge in dinner on Christmas Eve while enjoying Sergio Avila’s saxophone, or tuck into your meal on Christmas Day as you listen to Rafael Rodriguez play. At Pueblo Bonito Mazatlán, Angelo’s presents a holiday set menu crafted for two elegant evenings, while Palomas will offer both a special Christmas Eve menu and a traditional Christmas dinner buffet.

And once the last Christmas toast has been made and the season begins to shift toward what’s next, Pueblo Bonito’s resorts brighten with unforgettable ways to welcome the new year. Each property offers its own festive atmosphere, making it easy to find the celebration that suits your style.

At Pacífica, guests can greet the final sunset of the year with beautifully crafted holiday menus at Peninsula and Siempre. For an exclusive touch, the Towers VIP Lounge will host an intimate gala-style dinner with curated wine pairings, a bottle of Champagne, guitar music, and exclusive VIP access to the New Year’s Beach Party. As midnight approaches, the shoreline transforms into a lively celebration featuring music, a bonfire, fireworks, and ocean views that make every moment feel cinematic. On New Year’s Day, Siempre welcomes you back with a festive brunch complete with live music, action stations, and fresh mimosas. It makes for a delightful way to kick off your New Year in Mexico and start refreshed.

Over at Sunset Beach, LaFrida’s five-course holiday tasting menu accompanied by live piano offers an intimate way to celebrate. For a more communal experience, the resort’s signature Silver & Black celebration gathers guests by the pool near Villa 17 for an evening filled with international dishes, live DJ entertainment, and fireworks lighting up the Pacific sky. The next morning, La Nao is set to help guests ease into the new year with a brunch served in true Sunset Beach fashion—comforting, abundant, and deliciously satisfying.

In the hills above Cabo San Lucas, Montecristo Estates offers a serene and elevated celebration at Cíbola Restaurant. A special holiday menu, live music, and festive touches create the perfect setting for a relaxed, refined transition into the new year—ideal for guests who want a quieter ambiance that holds on to the season’s sparkle.

Right on Medano Beach, Rosé and Los Cabos are offering the choice between a vibrant New Year’s gala on the Sushi Deck—complete with live music, glowing light shows, fireworks, and a midnight toast—or intimate holiday dinners at Cilantro’s and Fellini’s, each offering special four-course menus and live music. The first meal of 2026 will be served at Mare Nostrum, where a traditional New Year’s Day brunch brings guests together for a fresh start marked by coastal flavor.

Across the sea in Mazatlán, celebrations shine just as brightly. At Emerald Bay, the evening unfolds at La Cordeliere with a festive four-course buffet, live music, fireworks, and the beloved Mexican tradition of twelve grapes at midnight. At Pueblo Bonito Mazatlán, both Angelo’s and Palomas welcome guests with special holiday menus, sparkling wine, live music, fireworks, and joyful gatherings that carry well into the night—perfect for couples, families, and anyone ready to welcome the year with style.

Most holiday dining experiences are included with your all-inclusive plan, although a few do carry a surcharge. There are also select offerings available at preferential rates. Reservations are recommended for most events, so be sure to contact the restaurant or concierge team to ensure the very best experience. Whether you prefer the intimacy of fine-dining, the abundance of a buffet, or the ease of a beachfront celebration, you’ll find a holiday moment made just for you.
