Mexico's Coastal Golf Resorts See 60% Spike in Bookings as Digital Nomads Blend Work with Wellness
As remote work changes lifestyles worldwide, Mexico's coastal golf resorts are unexpected winners. This year's 60% jump in bookings shows digital nomads are finding destinations that balance productivity, wellness and leisure. With its pristine beaches, championship golf courses and wellness offerings, Mexico is redefining what a 'workspace' is.
The Future of Wellness: Driven Remote Work.
The global trend toward remote work started out as necessity but has become a preference for millions. Environments that support mental and physical fitness and work-life balance are priorities for workers today. Golf resorts on Mexican coastlines from Cancun to Los Cabos are responding by turning into wellness destinations. Many have full-service spas, organic dining, guided meditation and fitness centers so guests can stay fit while working remotely. A survey by the Global Wellness Institute found that 68% of remote workers consider wellness amenities important in selecting a place to work.
Golf resorts are the new remote offices.
Many professionals are finding traditional office settings less appealing. They are replacing them with luxury resorts that combine Wi-Fi access, business centers and flexible areas. Private workstations, conference facilities and quiet lounges are being added at Mexico golf resorts. Digital nomads can spend the afternoon on tropical fairways after virtual meetings wind down. And some resorts combine extended stays with 'workation' packages that include unlimited golf, spa credits, and wellness workshops. With this blend, Mexico's golf resorts have become the base for those who will not compromise career for lifestyle.
Why Mexico is Leading the Trend.
For several reasons Mexico is unique worldwide. Access from North America, affordability, and a large choice of golf courses make it a top pick. The iconic destinations like Riviera Maya, Puerto Vallarta, and Baja California offer much more than just greens. They create experiences of culture, gastronomy and adventure. Mexico has over 200 golf courses – many designed by Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio and Robert Trent Jones Jr. Unlike most tropical spots Mexico also has stable connectivity, top-end amenities and plenty of activities – from cenote diving to Mayan ruins. Interest in 'Mexico golf holidays' is growing, and more travelers are finding that a professional life can coexist with leisure and exploration.
New Trends in Extended Stays and Healthier Travel.
The longer duration of stays is one major trend reshaping the industry. Digital nomads prefer stays of one to three months instead of short vacations. And golf resorts have adapted with weekly rental discounts, long-term wellness programs and residential-style lodging with private kitchens and living areas. Also on the list for travelers is health and wellness. By 2027, wellness tourism is expected to reach USD 1.4 trillion worldwide – and Mexico's resorts are tapping into that with holistic wellness retreats including golf, spa treatments, meditation classes and nutritional counseling. No longer are travelers content with relaxation only. They want to come home feeling renewed mentally and physically.
Expert Travel Providers Make It Simple.
The search for the right golf resort can be overwhelming. This is where experienced travel providers step in. Some luxury golf holiday companies like Chaka Travel curate packages to Mexico's top golf resorts. With their expertise, travelers can find resorts that fit their personal and professional needs – a quiet haven for working or a social hub with plenty of entertainment and wellness activities. These thoughtfully tailored experiences ensure that guests not only unwind along Mexico's stunning golf coastlines but also enjoy the happiest vacation of their lives.
The Allure of Mexico's Signature Golf Courses.
The quality of the courses is what really attracts Mexico's golf resorts. It's an incredible variety – from oceanfront fairways in Los Cabos to jungle-lined greens in Riviera Maya. Courses like El CamaleonMayakoba, home of the PGA Tour, have natural settings and are challenging. Others offer world-class design and amenities like Vidanta New Vallarta. Such destinations attract golfers of all levels so that guests can enjoy the greens as much as they challenge them. Some remote workers are finding the opportunity to tee off at sunrise and take conference calls by sunset irresistible.
Looking to the Future: Sustainable Luxury and Growth
And as demand has increased, sustainability has become an important issue for many of Mexico's top golf resorts. Water conservation, renewable energy use, and wildlife protection are becoming commonplace. Many of the best golf courses in Mexico are now leading this eco-conscious shift. At the same time, resorts are upgrading technologies to better serve a mobile workforce. Looking ahead, Mexico is poised to merge remote work, wellness travel, and luxury golf experiences. For digital nomads searching for balance, health, and inspiration — the fairways of Mexico are calling more than ever.

U.S., Mexico near deal to remove 50% steel tariffs, Bloomberg reports
The U.S. and Mexico are close to a deal that would remove President Trump's 50%tariffs on steel imports up to a certain volume, Joe Deaux and Eric Martin of Bloomberg report, citing people familiar with the matter. Trump hasn;t been directly involved in the negotiations and would need to sign off on any deal, Bloomberg added. The talks are being led by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, sources told Bloomberg. The agreement, which hasn't been finalized, would allow U.S. buyers to import Mexican steel duty-free as long as they kept total shipments below a level based on historical trade volumes, according to the people. The new cap would be higher than what was allowed under a similar deal during Trump's first term, the sources added. Publicly traded companies in the steel space include ArcelorMittal (MT), Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF), Nucor (NUE), Steel Dynamics (STLD) and U.S. Steel (X).

US, Mexico near deal to cut steel duties and cap imports
The U.S. and Mexico are closing in on a deal that would remove President Donald Trump's 50% tariffs on steel imports up to a certain volume, according to people familiar with the matter, a revamp of a similar deal between the trade partners during his first term. Trump hasn't been directly involved in the negotiations and would need to sign off on any deal. The talks are being led by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, according to the people, who asked not to be identified as the discussions are private. The people said the agreement hasn't been finalized. Under its current terms, it would allow U.S. buyers to import Mexican steel duty-free as long as they kept total shipments below a level based on historical trade volumes, according to the people. The new cap would be higher than what was allowed under a similar deal during Trump's first term, they said, which was never a fixed figure but designed to "prevent surges." The White House didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum's office also didn't respond to a request for comment. U.S. steel stocks moved lower in late trading after Bloomberg's report. Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. dropped more than 7%, and Nucor Corp. fell more than 4%. The Mexican peso trimmed losses. At an event on Tuesday, Mexican Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard said he told U.S. officials in meetings last week that steel tariffs are not justified in Mexico's case because the U.S. sends more steel to Mexico than vice versa. Last Friday, he posted a picture that showed him shaking hands with a smiling Lutnick in Washington. "We are waiting for their response, because on Friday we gave them the details of Mexico's argument and we are right," Ebrard told reporters Tuesday. "So we are going to wait for their response which will probably be this very week." Trump last week announced he would double steel duties to 50% after saying he would approve the purchase of United States Steel Corp. by Japan's Nippon Steel Corp., a move he said would protect the domestic industry and national security. While domestic steelmakers welcome the move, end-users have urged the administration to ease the tariffs. The negotiations come as Sheinbaum seeks an accommodation with Trump over immigration and drug trafficking across their shared border, which the U.S. leader has demanded Mexico halt. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem accused Sheinbaum Tuesday of "encouraging" more anti-deportation protests in Los Angeles, where the U.S. has deployed troops. Sheinbaum has called Noem's claim "absolutely false." The talks also come ahead of a Group of Seven leaders summit in Canada, where the two presidents are likely to meet. U.S. steel imports from Mexico totaled about 3.2 million metric tons last year, accounting for 12% of total shipments of the material according to Commerce Department data. A previous deal the U.S. reached with Mexico in 2019, during Trump's first term, agreed to prevent import volumes that exceeded average levels for the 2015-2017 period. -With assistance from Josh Wingrove and Alex Vasquez.
