Private Shuttle from SJD Airport to Acre Baja

Acre is a 25-acre working farm, restaurant, mezcal bar, and boutique resort tucked into a palm grove on the outskirts of San José del Cabo. Founded by chef-restaurateur Cameron Watt, the property has become one of the most photographed dining destinations in Baja for its open-air kitchen, hammock-lounge, and the nine elevated treehouse suites that line the palm grove. The signature mezcal program — served from a thatched-roof bar at the center of the property — draws separate crowds for sunset cocktails.

Acre is open year-round for dinner and is a popular reservation for couples celebrating anniversaries, honeymooners staying elsewhere in San José or on the Tourist Corridor, and small-wedding parties under 60 guests. The dress code is relaxed-tropical (long pants and closed shoes recommended after sunset for the mosquitoes near the palm grove).

Acre is the closest of any major Cabo destination to SJD Airport. From the SJD terminal, your chauffeur drives 7 miles (11 km) west on Mexico Federal Highway 1, exits toward the Las Animas neighborhood north of downtown San José del Cabo, and follows a marked dirt access road for the last 0.6 miles into the palm grove. Total drive time is 15 minutes in normal traffic and rarely exceeds 25 minutes even during the late-afternoon rush.

The unpaved final stretch is short but uneven. Rental compact cars manage it without issue, but most first-time visitors prefer the comfort and visibility of an SUV — especially after dark on the return run, since the access road has no lighting.

For dinners that end after 10:00 PM, we strongly recommend booking the round trip at the time of arrival, since outbound transportation from Acre is not always available on short notice (taxi service is not reliable in the immediate area and rideshare does not operate).

Your private SJD to Acre Baja transfer is a Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Suburban, Mercedes Sprinter, or Toyota Hiace — chosen by group size. Every vehicle is late-model, fully insured, climate-controlled, and stocked with bottled water. Child car seats are available on request as an optional add-on for an additional charge. Your chauffeur is bilingual (English and Spanish) and licensed for SJD Airport pickups.

The published rate includes the vehicle, the chauffeur, flight monitoring, and Mexican IVA tax. There are no separate toll charges on this route. Driver gratuity is not included — a 10-15% tip is customary and appreciated. If you want a grocery stop at any store or supermarket you choose, such as La Comer, Mega, Costco, Walmart or City Club in San José del Cabo, it is an optional add-on at $50 USD per hour. Mention it at booking.

Acre is a 15-minute transfer. Our SJD to Acre price is the same flat $65 USD regardless of arrival time, weekday, or season — including the December and Easter high seasons.

Reserve your Acre table well in advance, particularly during high season (mid-December through Easter and again in July). The restaurant runs two dinner seatings, and the popular hammock-lounge tables for cocktails before dinner book out separately.

The palm grove can be buggy at dusk during the summer rainy season (July-October). We recommend long pants and a light long-sleeve layer for outdoor dining during those months. Most other times of year, mosquitoes are minimal.

If you are staying at Acre's treehouses (rather than just dining), let us know at booking — we drive directly to the property's reception path rather than the restaurant entrance, which speeds the check-in process. We can also handle outbound transfers from Acre back to SJD on the morning of your departure with a 24-hour advance notice.
