Route Guide

Private Shuttle from SJD Airport to Nobu Hotel Cabo

28 miles (45 km) 35 minutes From $89 USD

Introduction

Nobu Hotel Cabo San Lucas sits on the Pacific cliffs next to Diamante — a modern 200-room property built for guests who expect the Nobu brand standard for arrival and service. Private Cabo airport shuttle from SJD to Nobu is a 35-minute direct ride. Our chauffeurs know the Diamante private road, the Nobu gate-house entry, and the exact bell-desk layout.

Inside Diamante: How the Nobu Entry Works

Nobu Hotel sits inside the Diamante Cabo San Lucas community on the Pacific side — the same community that houses the Dunes and El Cardonal golf courses. Diamante is accessed by a single gated road off the main Cabo San Lucas bypass, with a security check at the entry gate. From the gate it is a 5-minute drive to the Nobu entrance.

First-time drivers at Diamante frequently get lost between the residential area, the Dunes clubhouse, and the Nobu lobby. Our chauffeurs are on the approved vendor list, so the gate check is fast, and the approach to the Nobu valet is a direct route.

What the SJD to Nobu Cabo Transfer Includes

Flight monitoring, Umbrella #5 meet-and-greet, Chevrolet Suburban or Cadillac Escalade (your choice), complimentary bottled water, climate-zoned AC, child car seats on request, and a bilingual chauffeur for the 35-minute ride. No hourly penalty for flight delays, no luggage surcharge.

Nobu guests frequently pair the arrival shuttle with a same-day Nobu Restaurant reservation or sunset cocktails. Our chauffeur handles arrival at the hotel, and a separate private transfer the next evening can take you to downtown Cabo dining if you want to mix in restaurants like Sunset Monalisa or Mi Casa.

Return to SJD and Post-Stay Logistics

Departing Nobu Hotel to SJD requires the reverse 35-minute drive, plus the Diamante gate exit. For international flights we recommend a 3-hour lead time; for domestic US flights a 2.5-hour lead time works reliably. Book your return shuttle when you reserve your arrival so the vehicle and driver are locked in.

Some guests extend their Cabo trip post-stay with a round at Quivira or Cabo del Sol, or a day in San José del Cabo's art district. Our hourly Cabo chauffeur service can handle the final day plus the SJD departure on a single booking.
