Los Cabos and the Baja Peninsula
Luxury Hotels and Destination



Between the shadows of the mountains and the endless expanse of a sapphire sea lies what some people call paradise on earth. The water is warm, the drinks are cold, the fishing superb, the weather is perfect - averaging 78 all year, and the food is fabulous. Los Cabos, which is made up of Cabo San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo and Cabo Real, sits at the very tip of Baja California Sur. This tiny place at the tip of Mexico's least populated state, can provide you with long walks on basically deserted beaches, snorkeling in pristine ocean waters, and luxurious accommodations. And it can also give the traveler nightclubs that never close, bargain shopping, and very inexpensive bed and breakfasts and motels. You want it, Cabo has it.

Cabo San Lucas

Once a small fishing village with a seafood cannery, Cabo San Lucas has been transformed in the last 50 years into one of Mexico's featured destinations. If you love the ocean, you'll love it here. In addition, Cabo also has become a place that never sleeps - the nightlife is sensational with clubs that are open all night, casual dining with outstanding seafood, and bars right on the beach. Swimming, scuba diving, surfing, para-sailing, snorkeling, sea kayaking, water skiing, glass bottom boat cruises, wave runners, wind surfing, whale watching, you name it and it is available. Don't miss one of the Pez Gato snorkeling trips to the incredible Santa Maria bay or one of their great Sunset or Booze Cruises. Some newer attractions in Cabo are getting a lot of notice. Cabo Expeditions and their fleet of Zodiacs are offering some really exciting snorkeling and ecological adventure tours. The Sunderland, a 110 ft. long, 112 year-old "tall ship" is the Pirate Ship you see in the harbor. They offer sunset cruises and the ship is also available for private cruises.

Scuba divers will not soon forget their dive at the world famous sand falls, located just past the even more famous natural rock arch at Land's End. Lover's Beach is located at the very tip of Cabo San Lucas. It has some of the best tropical fish viewing to be had in this part of the world. And about 100 yards away is the Pacific Ocean (a little too treacherous to swim in or body surf) with its magnificent crashing waves. People have been known to pack a lunch and spend the day watching the migrating whales and dolphins during certain times of the year.

In addition, there is Medano Beach, which travels the edge of Baja for 14 miles. All along the way, hotels, bars and restaurants dot the beach, ending at Marina de Cabo. The bay that is created by the beach, the marina and the peninsula of Land's End is one of the stopovers for many cruise ships that dock in the Bay each week, making the population of the small town swell.

Cabo Real

Along Highway 1, dotting the coastline between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, are luxurious hotels and magnificent golf courses that are like oases in the middle of the Los Cabos desert. From the road, the traveler has no idea what to expect. There is only a small gate with swaying palms and beautiful flowers indicating that something wonderful is hugging the cliffs and sandy beaches below. Venturing further, in lush tropical seclusion, each property awaits.

Golf is king in Cabo Real. There are six of the finest golf courses in the world, each a feast for the eye and a challenge for the golfing spirit. And still more are on the way with two others under construction. Jack Nicholaus called Cabo del Sol golf course (ocean course) "...the finest three finishing holes of golf in the world." Since the weather is always lovely, a tee time of 7:30 a.m. is not only warm, it is strikingly beautiful as you watch the sun rise over the shimmering blue sea.

San Jose del Cabo

The historic village of San Jose del Cabo is a quaint and quiet combination of Spanish Colonial buildings, colorful squares, enticing shops, and romantic restaurants. Time slows down and visitors have a chance to experience first-hand a real Mexican town. Walking through the charming village is a perfect way to see the picturesque streets of this authentic village.

The shopping and dining choices are plentiful, offering visitors a variety of options: jewelry, crafts, regional art, and clothing are just some of the items to be found. The town's restaurants serve an exciting mix of local and international cuisine that range from nouvelle Mediterranean, to California fusion, to classic French, to traditional Mexican.

Near the downtown village square lies the ecologically protected nature preserve estuary where guests can observe exotic plants and birds in their natural habitat. White sand beaches and azure water are only minutes away. San Jose is known as the fisherman's paradise with large and small vessels leaving every morning for big game fishing in the Sea of Cortez.

Los Cabo is one of the most unusual and most interesting areas in all of Mexico. Although the area itself has been here for centuries, it has evolved into an International melting pot, as different cultures continue to blend together. A vacation in Los Cabo is a fun-filled experience with ideal climate, great food, with nightlife and tradition coming together. Come to Cabo and experience a vacation you will remember for the rest of your life.
